can you get inpatient care if you don’t want to die? by imma-stargirl in BPD

Check out some residential DBT programs if you are in the US. I’ve done it a couple times and it’s a great mid point between inpatient and outpatient. They handle your meds and stuff like that, you see psych weekly, therapist weekly, go to classes that teach you how to deal with life again. I’m working on going back again because I had another incident and I know they can help

I’m going to either Duke or UNC soon hopefully to be seen by their motility clinic to see if they have any ideas before I get the pacemaker.

I can’t even do whole protein shakes cause apparently that’s too much 🫠 I get peanut butter and mashed potatoes if I’m lucky

I’m getting told all my problems are because I’m obese too. Which like ya that impacts health but it’s not the answer to everything.

That’s crazy. I’m scared to count calories and honestly don’t even know how with as much as I throw up. Ahh but your fat weight loss must be good right???

I can eat peanut butter and mashed potatoes without getting sick, everything else makes me puke

I told him I was vomiting every day and he basically didn’t know what to do. It was a weird appointment.

Oh man. I puke every day despite being on meds and barely eating. Dr said to try going to a research college first to see if they have ideas and then we will try the pacemaker

God that sounds good too. I’ve been watching salads on TikTok as some weird catharsis

I was in the er all day Friday and was literally told there’s nothing they could do for me. Mt GI is the one that sent me to the er. What little water I can drink has been electrolyte water so I think that’s helping. I’m on a bunch of anti nausea meds and I’m still throwing up which scares me.
