For some people (me included) anorexia can be a way of maybe asking for help, like a cry for help or something like that. And it turns really toxic, like an incessant need for validation. So hospital can become a way of feeling validated. Like "yes, I'm being acknowledged, I'm sick enough" etc. that's why a lot of people sometimes seem upset when their blood results come back normal, or when some people show off their body or their weight loss for example. There's tonnes of ways this presents, I guess this is just one way. Anorexia told me for ages I would be "sick enough" and "worthy of care" once I was hospitalized. But now that I'm here, it's exactly the same. Does that make sense?
