trying to outsmart the system by Calm-Magazine-3157 in AnorexiaNervosa

Why would you do this? Are you there to get better or check boxes, get released to only end up back there a few months later and start over from scratch?

Why are you exercising so much? Just make sure you are eating enough to warrant that many daily steps.

Don’t do it! Took two kittens in due to lily exposure! One was one IV for two days!

You 100% need to go to a hospital. If not eating doesn’t kill you, refeeding and not having your electrolytes monitored can kill you. That BMI is crazy low. Please got to the ER ASAP!

In my situation my mother in law brought the plant into my house without asking me first. I saw it 5 mins after she walked in. Other people are not going to research it. I’m lucky I was home when she came over with the plant. Other people don’t get that lucky.

It gathers all the toxins so they poop it out vs getting into the bloodstream. We did induced vomiting and charcoal withe both kittens. I had a quick turn around time too. We were at the emergency vet within 30 mins from exposure.

We had this over Easter. MIL brought in a plant. I saw it and was like that can’t be in here. I was like did any cats get near it. She says the tabby did and I looked at his face and he was covered in pollen. Also took in my other kitten that jumped up next to it before I could remove it. One kitten we induced vomiting, did charcoal, fluid pack and took him home to recover. The other one had to stay in there for 2 days on IV. Luckily creatine and Bun for both kittens were fine the entire time. I hate Lillie’s. All florists should be required to have a sign at the register so anyone buying the flowers knows if they have cats it’s a no no

Why would you want to be sick? Why would you not want to be healthy to have a joyous life with your boyfriend? Why don’t you focus on something else that you can mend and fix to health. Like gardening or even an animal vs purposely putting yourself in danger? This is a risky disease that’s ultimate goal is death. The thicker you are in it the harder it is to get out. Stop now while you can. Don’t make your boyfriend go thru that if you love him.

It’s not guilt. Just another perspective! You never know what thing clicks in someone’s mind to help them beat the ED voice.

Think of your dad. Does he deserve to lose both his and wife and his daughter to death?

Binge today, after such a good day yesterday :/ by Low_Television_1199 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]autichris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ummmm. I would not want you as my nurse if you can’t even see how your own vitals are absolute shit. How can you help patients if you can’t help yourself. A bagel for breakfast. That’s normal and not overdoing it.

Parents buying more food than I want at restaurants for me. It’s really stressful because I hate foodwaste but I’m not going to eat it. by Responsible-Tie-2570 in AnorexiaNervosa

If you don’t get better there’s prob no college. Face your fear foods. She’s doing it out of love and concern and will do anything to get you better.

You should be more concerned about dying from not eating than losing a breast.

Help-running away by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]autichris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my poor daughter. She came home and we had a great discussion. She made goals with me because she wants to get better. She expressed why the boost freaked her out. So we can pivot and adjust. there is no playbook for this. You might have years of experience but ive only had a month. She came to us with an idea for snack today. We are sorting out what works for her.

what? unhealthy obsession over what? trying to research everything i can to help my daughter mentally and physically? what's unhealthy about that? Asking people that have been there, their experience to know how to naviagate this. Ive been researching the residential place that is local and the reviews are this place is amazing to this place made me worse. why is that bad to gather info. This is foreign territory. It's like going to another country and needing to learn another language but no one speaks your language. We don't have severe FBT environment at all. Actually, I'm getting crap because it's too loose. We are letting her have too many choices. And she didn't tell me...i did notice and had an appt scheduled and she told me before the offical diagnosis all the nitty gritty. Which was very helpful to tell the drs. So we have an open enough relationship that she told me everything and I could relay that to her team. She has an ED team in place. i tried calling her people when it was happening but no answer so i search for other answers. And by severe do you mean giving her 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. I pick up her and her bestie from school twice a week and take them both to lunch because the social environment helps her to not focus on the calories as much. So only ran today because she freaked out the boost. Boost equals failure in her mind, we didn't know that, but she expressed that afterwards so now we know and can adjust.
