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.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

"are you just doing this for attention' ffs if I wanted attention I'd walk down the halls in a dress.
I was already about to cry over lunch i don't need the f*cking nurse saying that.

Edit:

@Bunniekins I'm so angry at the nurse...he pretty much declared to the rest of nurses at nurses station im on a hunger strike. (My room is in front of nurses station)

Ffs chest pain again.....I can't deal with my stupid life. My CM told me to talk to the nurses. I did. Blah blah I'm apparently ok. I just don't know why my heart feel like it's going to explode.

And I ate today... eventually.

@Bunniekins today's been a bit better day. I saw my counselor this morning, it really helped being able to talk to her.
I was able to walk to the toilet today. My goal is to walk to the nurses station this weekend and see all my x-rays. Kinda scary but I want to see it.
