So i go for an ED assessment on Wednesday. Im 19, so i have chosen to not tell my parents yet.

What happens at an assessment???? The one thing i am terrified of is being thrown in Inpatient....

For those who have been in IP, whats it like?

Carly I haven't been in your situation and I don't know what it is going to be like but I will reassure you that it is going to be okay. You are going to get the help you need and you will be healthy for your heart surgery, it's going to be okay :)

idk anything about your situation but they will only put you in patient as a last resort. or if you desperately need to be put on a drip. and you will be given a chance before your put in ip anyways or at least the chance to go out patient. if you agree to get better its most likely they wont do it.

Carly that is the problem, you need to acknowledge that you have a problem otherwise you won't get better. I want you to get better. Please try to fine deep down that starving yourself is not a good thing.

I know... It's like i KNOW i have a problem...but i don't like to say it out loud....at least not to my therapist/psychiatrist/professionals....there is always that part of me(probably the ED talking) saying you dont have problem, your fine, you just need to loose weight. Ya know?

But.... i just dont want this big commitment of going several times a week or being in IP :( but i guess i will see what they say...im sure my therapist will force me to do it.
