Not better

9 Replies

Apparently getting discharged today even though I'm no where near better and still underweight. How is that fair? Just feel like I'm fading away and nobody is noticing how bad I'm suffering

Hi Jordanlucinda92, when you are in a hospital setting, they keep you for a short time and then intend for you to continue with an ED therapist. It could be insurance plays into this as well. I hope you continue to get the help you need. x

Hiya thankyou for your reply. I'm not in hospital though I'm under a eating disorder specialist. But she's discharging me even though I'm still underweight and still very much struggling. It's taking over my life

heya, I am also meant to be discharged soon from a ED specialist but I also don't feel ready at all. its gotten worse over summer and I don't think any one realises how similar it is now to when I was hospitalised. I may be a healthy weight but I still have the anxiety and have started to cut down on what im eating slighty. its such a struggle, hope youre as okay as you can be

I'm not even a healthy weight though, she's discharging me because Iv maintained weight for a few weeks and no progress is happening. I'm still struggling and still muchly underweight. I'm worried at how bad il become before anyone takes me seriously. Thankyou for your reply. hope your okay too xx

Jordan I don't know why your ED specialist would have discharged you. I'm sure others on this forum will respond. I hate seeing the ball dropped because you want help so badly. x

Cos hospitals are crap. Befriend sumone that understands they woudnt send u home tho if ur on deaths door

Have you asked them what support they are going to arrange once you are discharged - perhaps you could talk with one of the nurses about how you feel and the struggle you are in - or, if discharged - go to your GP - you could also access the support lines at ABC/BEAT.
