I'm soooo stressed.
They might involuntarily feed me. I'm terrified.
TAFE is scaring me and i can't do it.
My boyfriend wants sex and I'm just shutting down.
Passing out is a thing now.
Shaking is like 24/7
Sleep doesn't happen.
I'm tired of pain.
I want my body to work.
Emergency refuses to treat me now.
I saw my psychologist this morning. She see I've given up.
I'm really scaring myself now.
I am safe though.

@The-red-centaur that's a lot to have on your mind all at once! Sounds exhausting. I'm sending you hope and self-compassion tonight 
What's planned for the rest of tonight to keep you occupied?

Hi @The-red-centaur,
One step at a time.
TAFE will be ok, you can never fail in TAFE. Worst case scenario, you just need to resubmit.
I hope your partner will care for you instead of just asking for sex. It's not an appropriate time.
If a hospital refused you, try a different one which will take you in.
Otherwise, just sleep this through and by the time you wake up the next morning, talk a walk in the park under the sun and breathe in the fresh air. It will help you reduce your anxiety and get you back in perspective.
Take care!

@The-red-centaur sorry to read how overwhelmed you felt last night. It sounded scary. 😞
I hope your GP appointment today goes well... I can understand you don't want an involuntary admission for your ED, but am really concerned about what'll happen if you continue to not eat or drink.
Sending wishes for strength and hope.

Coffee from my favourite cafe in the sun before my appointments. Trying to chill. I can do this.
Yes 🙂
I'm really glad to hear you're having a coffee!
