I've been recently discharged from the hospital for my anorexia I've already lost 5 kilos and I'm scared I'll be hospitalized again, I'm sick again I keep fainting and I can't stop purgeing I went to my friends house tonight first sleep over since I've gotten out and I used it as a free for all to purge I feel guilty that I use my friends as a way to purge but I can't help it.

Hello llvpoppy

It's nice to meet you, and thank you for posting.

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling afraid that you'll be hospitalised again and really struggling with anorexia. It sounds really debilitating and I hope we can help support you in your journey. It sounds like you would like to stop purgeing but can't seem to help it. If you don't mind me asking, do you have any professional support at the moment? For example, did the hospital get you some help when they discharged you before?

Hi there,

 

I am so sorry you have been going through a lot and have spent time in hospital for your anorexia. I know you don’t want to go back, but if you are purging again and struggling with your ED you need to reach out for help. The only way to get better is to ask for professional and emotional support and help. Maybe you can come to another arrangement that is not hospitalisation?

 

I hope things improve soon,

Jaz xx

I am so sorry to hear that. That must’ve been scary as. I hope that doesn’t happen again. I hope the hospital provided support and that we can support you. I know a good website for anorexia support. I’m praying that you’re ok and that you can find support

A friend of mine had an eating disorder and she was given daily psychological help. Is that something worth considering?
