SuperTues Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Well when I was in the psych clinic, there was a girl with severe anorexia being treated. Basically her food intake was calorie controlled because she needed to gain weight. She also saw a nutrional therapist, a psych therapist and had family therapy with her parents, as well as taking part in all the usual day-to-day activities. Except exercise of course. When she first came into the clinic they wouldn't even allow her to walk around, she had to be in a wheelchair and she wasn't allowed to keep her door open in her room and it always had to be a certain temperature. But she weight 35kg when she went in so it was a life or death situation. It's a good place for you to go because in a clinic you're not on your own, you're surrounded by people who understand you and can help you (patients). Plus there's support from the nurses usually too so whenever you're struggling you can speak to someone.I know that the thought of gaining weight is very overwhelming but don't look at it like that, look at it from the angle of going in there to get a better relationship with food. It's about getting healthy, not fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barebones Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 thanks tues, i understand what your saying, but im unsure of how i can let go of the control. im not as bad as that girl, i think im normal weight. pdoc asked me what weight i am, as i said to her i dont have a clue. i hate scales and knowing what i am.i go by what i see and that. im scared that i will be triggerd in seeing the patients, as it make me even worse thinking that im fat and worthless. since i wrote the last post is i looked up about behavour therapy, it says it works on the here and now, i have no clue why i dnt eat properly, to much time has past.thanks again tues in explaining im sure i will get it in time. if got any more advice keep it up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be really difficult but getting better always is. See I don't have the will power to give up eating completely but I can relate to the feeling fat and worthless, that's how I go through my life. But you can't stop yourself going because of fear you might be triggered by the others. You're strong, I know you can do it That good enough? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
