- So I thought I would talk more specifically about my experience during inpatient treatment and the positive and not so positive (more not so positive points as you will see!) parts. This is NOT something that can be generalized across all treatment facilities and/or approaches, this is purely my experience but I believe it is important to discuss and highlight where there is need for improvement and what we can do moving forward. PLEASE discuss in the comments your experiences and what you feel was beneficial and/or not so good during your time. I hope this can be relatable and help!! :)
I was inpatient in a general paediatric ward. My treatment team completely ignored my input and didn't allow me any information. When I was released, there was only 1 outpatient service which was FBT. That program was incredibly damaging to me yet was pushed by the hospital. I had an awful time
The whole FBT program that is pushed is one reason I am SO glad I actually didn’t receive help until I was an adult…because having my parents control things when a big reason I had the eating disorder was due to my mom’s out of control control…would have probably killed me, literally.
I was inpatient twice at a local hospital general psychiatric ward that had a max of 4 ED beds at any time. It was absolutely awful. I wish I had never agreed to be referred. Anyways. I had to basically fail the home hospital program to be referred and get funding for a program that DID help, which was residential in the neighbouring province. It was a world of difference.
You are lucky to have even had any choices. My second time, which involved a feeding tube, I didn’t even get to choose snacks. Let alone having any dislikes allowed…and they forced me to eat meat when I had been a happy vegetarian for years. It was absolutely soul crushing and I still have trauma going on 6 years from then.
Lmfao 😆😆😆 diets are an eating disorder
❤ thank you for your story. Im newly diagnosed and in outpatient. Its scary. I either comply or get tubes. So i pick comply with diet. Appreciate your story. So sorry about how that man treated you with the cinnamon in inpatient you shoupd have been allowed make another choice.
YES it was thought that everything at home hospital that I had any opinion etc about was ED based. And the dietitians constantly lied to me…and then the group programming had a group called Feedback group which was literally a privacy violation. I would never ever ever go into the home hospital group programming ever ever again if that group is still part of it.
My question is was it expensive to get treatment? Also thank you for sharing your story 😊 ❤
