Treatment

The-red-centaurSenior Contributor18 Mar 2020, 9:00 am AEDT

Treatment

I'm thinking about putting myself in inpatient treatment.

But I'm terrified I wouldn't be accepted coz of my disability and the fact I'm still fat.

There's no treatment centres in Tassie so I'd have to go interstate. plus I don't know if I'll be able to afford treatment or my rent while there.

Too many Qs and not enough help.

I'm ready to give up. I spent overnight in psych ward coz life is getting to me. I'm terrified of today. I can't do this anymore.

Re: Treatment

Heya @The-red-centaur , sounds like you might need to work through some strategies with someone. Would you be open to chatting to the Help Centre here?

Sometimes it's really good to have a sounding board. If you need further support around heavier thought then it could be good to have a chat to SCBS, you deserve to stay safe

Re: Treatment

I saw my GP today. I sent a referral to a service in Melbourne, and going to back Monday to do another one.
Urgh. This is suddenly real. Can I actually do this.

In another note, during this recent elevated episode I bought scales...I'm at my lowest weight in 6 years, that makes me want to keep losing, to get to my ugw. Tbh I don't even see the 30kg difference on my body.

Re: Treatment

I'm so anxious about tomorrow. I'm too fat to go to treatment anyway so why am I even bothering.

Re: Treatment

@Former-Member the appointment went ok. I have to see her weekly now for bloods and ECGs.
She's threatened if my weight drops that she'll inpatient me here. And with the covid stuff I doubt I'll be able to travel to Melbourne for treatment anyway. So I'm screwed. I really don't want to go back to the hospital here. It's shit and there's no mental health support. I spent 5 months there from Sep to Feb.
I want to move out of stupid Tasmania. But the main psychiatrist here and everyone else wont let me.

Re: Treatment

@Former-Member we aren't supposed to mention weight on the forums. I'm technically still in healthy BMI though.
I have friends in Melbourne and Sydney. And I guess it wouldn't be too hard to make new professional supports.

Re: Treatment

@The-red-centaur

I am so sorry I didn't know that and I have been kicking myself for asking all afternoon as I didn't get the notification that you had replied and I was stressing thinking I had offended you or worse upset you by asking. I am so sorry.

If you have friends there why are they not wanting you to move. 💖
