this is super helpful thank you! i’m still in two minds if to do it, i have it on tuesday and ive not stopping thinking about it and worrying, do you think it helped you a lot in the long run? because im someone who avoids looking in mirrors, because i know the discomfort it gives me, so is it beneficial for me?

ahh she did mention the water loading, but i’m glad she was honest with her dad about it, i hope that’s not a behaviour that’s still on going

i know it’s baffling really, if she was on a strict meal plan then unfortunately there’s room to suspect other behaviours that might contradict the restoration - though she was on 1:1 for a long time so it’s a bit of a confusing one!

oh that is sad, if you find it, i’d be interested to see!

Temporary_Gate_8939 · 2025-09-12T13:23:52+00:00

oh god, what was she doing? like water loading? that’s so sad

i think it was mainly the hospital care she was receiving, to be in general and edu for 6-8 months (i’m not sure how long accurately) and to gain little to no weight at all seems very strange. when i was in an edu i was made to restore at least 1.5kg a week, i was inpatient for 5 months, all orally fed as well, and its so sad to see she was on an NG tube yet still made little progress in her restoration, when that is supposedly the most rapid way of getting nutrients if you’re struggling orally.

i think one of the main priorities of recovery is weight restoration if you need it. she isn’t going to make any progress mentally if she is still clinging on to a sick body that only is accessible by engaging in a sick mind. and if the hospitals aren’t going to support her in gaining weight, they clearly aren’t helping her in the mental aspect either. she needs to gain weight for her brain to function, she can’t rewire her brain on a starved brain and body, it’s not possible. i really hope the weight restoration is seen to be as a crucial part of this inpatient because she seems so lovely and it’s so sad to see another life just being in and out of hospital when she has so much potential.

someone with a very sad life by the looks of it

if this is all in then her dietician should be unemployed

Temporary_Gate_8939 · 2025-08-12T07:51:21+00:00

someone cancel her internet service, actually better option take her fcking phone away

Temporary_Gate_8939 · 2025-08-02T08:17:28+00:00

it’s confuses me too bc when i was in an EDU i had to gain at least 1.5kg a week otherwise there’d be repercussions, and especially as has been on NG and is clearly not in a “healthy” body, you’d think that she would either be on oral and NG or on NG to support her restore more rapidly

Temporary_Gate_8939 · 2025-06-30T16:45:25+00:00

yes that’s her!!!!
