Something’s not right

Inpatient with an eating disorder

Inpatient with an eating disorder

I'm so scared. They're making me eat and I can't deal with it.

Let me explain...

I've been in hospital the last 6 weeks on a medical ward due to the physical injuries of a suicide attempt and I'm going to be in here we'll into the new year. The thing is I struggle with an eating disorder. They've become aware of it (despite the fact I'm not underweight) and have been heavily monitoring and controling my intake.

I feel so out of control.

I broke down at dinner and just couldn't do it. I can't eat anymore. I just can't.

@The-red-centaur Good so you will have someone capable of taking care of you. Then after a week (which will go fast) you will go into rehab :). You will be okay. I and all the formites will be with you every step of the way

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@Bunniekins I just had a shower with the OT and got clothes on. CLOTHES. I'm having a better day today. I have achieved so much. I'm walking (tiny bit but walking) and im standing to transfer to the commode (which by Friday we plan I'll be walking to bathroom) and I got dressed.

I spoke to the OT about when I'll go to rehab and at this stage it's when I get a bed now which won't be til next week but it's progress on a definite yes to rehab.
