hi

i know this is a bit late to reply but just thought id let u know i was an inpatient for 6 weeks on a general medical ward, i was terrified but also relieved when the consultant told me he wanted me to come in. Everyone had told me it would be better to eat on your own and not have to go into hospital coz it would be awful in there but actually it wasn't, the nurses and doctors were all relly nice and gave me choice, to anextent, about what i ate, I thought as soon as i got to hospital everything would be better and i would eat, i struggle with anorexia, but i just couldnt. One nurse was kind but forceful and didnt give me a choice, with the help of artificial feeding, via tube and calorie drinks i was eventually able to eat properly. I still struggle with eating what i should and calories are always ony mind but at least my weight isnt dangerous anymore. I know this isnt the same as your problem but i hope it helps you to see that sometimes being an inpatient is the only way to get better. It really gave me the boost I needed coz i know if i hadnt gone into hospital i would most likely still be very restrictive.

hope you're doing well. Let me know how things are for you.

Take care
