Hi everyone, i was just wondering reasoning behind being hospitalized... does your weight always have to be really low or is it just behaviours? If anyone has been admitted on a low weight but not a dangerously low one, just because of their behaviours or something else could they tell me their experiances please,... because i am underweight and depressed etc etc but i am being threatened with hospital and i am not UNDERWEIGHT like seriously bad, so thanks.xxx ↓

If you're depressed, maybe your loved ones are trying to help you for that more than the eating part, but it's an easy excuse to get you into some psych help. I don't know you or your exact circumstances, but I think it's great that there are people who want to help you. Why not let them? Don't you want to be rid of the depression and the ED it causes, or vice versa depending on your situation? Being hospitalized is not like a straightjacket, tiny room type of thing. If you go voluntarily, it's your right to walk out the door. If you wait until you are forced to go, then things may be a bit different. Either way, you can utilize the help offered and get on with a happier life hopefully.
Best wishes. ↑ |

| Once the depression and obsessive behavior is gone, you will likely feel differently about your ED. That was my point, I guess. They go hand in hand. Either the ED causes the depression, or being depressed causes the ED. You know, it is possible to be a svelte body type without being sick. You can eat, especially fruits, veggies, and lean protein, and look just as lean as you'd like. It's the deprivation that causes all the severe problems like heart failure, tooth erosion, hair loss, bone loss, etc. Please consider the marathon runners and other athletes who look slim and muscular. Do you think they could function much less accomplish all that they do by starving and/or purging? And even someone like Keira Knightley, as bony as she appears, has got to have some stamina to make an action movie like Pirates. I know that sounds trivial, but think about it. ↑ |

| My friend who worked on a bulimic ward said they have to sit and WATCH you eat and they stare at you until its all gone. If you refuse to eat, they shove a needle in you and put it in that way. They WHEEL you on a wheelchair to the scales, so you burn nothing and if you refuse to eat, they dont let you see your family and when you do, you see them... a reward theropy thing... xx ↑ |
