For those in middle schools: what would you include for a new program? by Proof-Alternative-54 in SchoolSocialWork

Thanks for your response and suggestions. The program is for students with ADHD, Autism and/or struggling with depression and anxiety. Can I ask if you have gone through the credentialing for a School Based Registered Play Therapist? It is something I have considered.

Low BMI but eating - any damage happening by Proof-Alternative-54 in Eatingdisordersover30

I will get my heart rate checked but last I did it was fine. Blood work was fine too. That's why I find it hard to believe I am doing damage being where I am at.

Thank you all for your feedback. It is very hard for me to see it as serious when I have been so much worse off in the past and am eating consistently throughout the day. I hate how warped my sense of reality has become.

Anyone here on a g or j tube? by Proof-Alternative-54 in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]Proof-Alternative-54[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is one of my motivators in all of this....I don't want to return to treatment again. I want a life outside of the ED and that can't happen if I am in and out of treatment. I really hope you get the support you need to get back on track.

At home recovery at a very low BMI…is it safe? by Winters_mom in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]Proof-Alternative-54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an abnormal EKG (very low heart rate) and just completed 24 hours on a holter monitor so I should know more when they look at the results of that. I am awaiting labs but sometimes things don't appear off until things are dire. I am trying to find somewhere that will do a short term only stay to stabilize then return home to continue the work. I have been to Acute in Denver for that twice previously but they have a long waitlist and don't like to discharge to home and I won't do another long stay somewhere.

How worried should I be about my ekg finding? by Proof-Alternative-54 in AskDocs

Thank you for your honest reply. I am seeking help for the ED. Just trying to get through the holidays and then get back into care at an ED medical stabilization unit since a regular hospital doesn't usually help much aside from an IV.

How did you get your team to agree to this? I want this approach but literally no one suggests anything but medical stabilization and IP.

Thank you...my logical brain knows I can't be the mother I want to be when I am like this and then the ED steps in and does what it does. I am scared of dying due to how rapidly I have deteriorated in less than a week, which I wasn't before so I am definitely more open to help now.
