- I hope this video is helpful and gives a little bit of info about inpatient hospitals for eating disorders in the UK.
All inpatient hospitals will be different and have different rules etc but this is just a bit of an insight on what to expect.
Please feel free to message me on instagram if you have any questions or ask away in the comments!
Sending lots of love,

Thank you for sharing! I don't think a lot of people talk about their actual experiences..you are very brave 💜 I also appreciate your explanation of how "sections" work...I live in the US, so I was not aware of that. 🙏
Your so welcome ❤ Thankyou so much for watching and the lovely comment it really means so much to me 🥰 Im so glad that it made sense ☺ xx
Hi Demi, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m at the same residential as you where at, I knew immediately when I saw your hand print on the thumbnail! I’ve been here for just under a month now, and this video has just come up on my RUclips recommendation, crazy! Thank you for sharing this video, I wish I had found it before I came here to CWS, but happy to have found it now, it’s made me feel a bit of hope that people do leave and live there life after there time in hospital, so thank you. And hope your doing well! 🌸💞

When I was in hospital three piece of toast, one cup of baked beans and butter was just a snack. Gosh I so don't miss that.
I felt that, it was rough for sure 😅
Years ago, when i was an inpatient at an EDU, even though we had to eat nearly double the menu of the hospital where you were, the treatment i had was good overall. Im sorry you didnt find it helped you much. I hope you are doing okay now, its a struggle trying to recover in the community.
Hey, I’m so glad that the treatment worked well for you and I hope your doing good now tooo & I’m sorry you had too also go through it ❤️🩹 thank you so much !!! It is hard doing it in the community but I’m on the right path it deffintley got me back on track spending time in hospital, sending lots of love!!
Thank you, I'm struggling my way through another relapse right now but trying to stay positive X
@@emmabarrett9951 you’ve got this I’m sending you so much love never forget how strong you are!!! x
@@Demiproudman ❤❤
I don’t think inpatient is THE solution in and of itself, however I do firmly believe it can accelerate recovery if you are committed and do what is asked of you.
Although it shouldn’t be the sole focus, it’s necessary to work on food/weight restoration in order to become more cognitively flexible before you can address the underlying mental aspect. That’s why adequate outpatient support from a therapist and/or dietitian (preferably both) needs to be in place for when you’re discharged.
I agree the rigid structure may seem restrictive but I’m guessing it would otherwise be a logistical nightmare to take into account everyone’s different preferences. But planning a month ahead seems quite excessive so I think it really varies from place to place.

Hi Demi , I'm 49 years old and back in 2006 I was sectioned on a grade 3 in Cheadle Eating Disorder Clinic and it was So barbaric it was unthinkable hence why my Eating Disorder Team No Longer use the place and I Lasted until three months after that in March 2007 when they finally let me go home as it was absolutely horrific and what makes it even worse now as it says on Google that Please Don't Send Your Child Here under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES .
But I'm really pleased that you are getting better ❤️🩹 now Lovely 🥰 and I really do mean that Xxx
Hey I hope you are well 😊 ahhh that sounds horrific Im really sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience 😒 its scary really what goes on 😭 I hope your doing okay and sending lots of love, thankyou so much it means a lot to me ❤x
Thank you for sharing your experience ❤ I hope you don’t have to go back and reach full recovery at home! Did you read the book of tabitha?
Thankyou your so welcome ❤ I’m about half way through the book by Tabitha but reallyyy do need to finish it x
@@Demiproudman OH YES you really need!!! But proud of you that you started reading!! Hope it helps
You're looking more healthy Demi ❤ keep going 💪
Thankyou so much lovely ❤❤
Thank you for sharing this!!! xxx
Your so welcome 🥰 thank you so much for watching ❣️ x
@@Demiproudman You’re more than welcome, honestly I’m so glad that a came across your RUclips channel! Thank you for being so open and honest. 🫶♥️🫶 xxx
@@GrowWithGem same to you lovely, your videos have helped me so much ❤ sending you love!! xxx
how have you been managing on your own since discharging? are you seeing any professionals?
I have weekly appointments with a community team which is just local to where I live, they do weekly observation and blood tests for me but that’s all the support I’m having at the moment.
What Unit were you in hun as I totally get where you are coming from as my Anorexia is called Anorexia with binge purge subtype and I've suffered from this for the past 34 years now as what caused it was I was severely bullied from Nursery School up to my first job and it didn't help that my Dad used to beat my Mum up every week as well Lovely 🥰 Xxx
I was in the cotswolds it was really far from where im from, im so sorry to hear this and I really hope that your doing a lot better now, sending all my love to you and my inbox is always open if you ever want to talk ❤❤
@@Demiproudman i went there in 2020-2021 xx
Did you really have to eat the same thing every breakfast and snack? Were there other options available or did you just always choose the same?
Yes the same every single day… there was other choices but if one day I decided to have something else I would have to ask the support worker if I could change it and they would then turn around and say they have to ask the dietitian first so it didn’t work and was more hassle than what it was worth unfortunately!
How is ur exercise now ? It’s my biggest problem and no one ever talks about it or does a what exercise I do in a day it’s all what ppl eat . Such a tough battle exercise addiction xx
It’s not great I’ll be honest, I want to talk more about it and what I do but always fear that it will trigger people or make them annoyed because I still do exercise but the brutal thing is it’s not that easy to stop, I’m so sorry that your battling with it too I’m sending you so much love ❤
@@Demiproudman I find it harder than the food . It’s so hard all we can do is keep fighting both aspects of the illness and try get it to sensible level xx
I just got told today that my team have a bed for me next Friday. This is not something I expected or want. I’m scared I’ll be sectioned if I say no. If you’re comfortable, would you talk about your experience being sectioned?
Hey, so sorry to hear this but please don’t worry I promise you everything will be okay. If you do say no there is a possibility that they will have to do a section 2 depending on the circumstances. When I found out I was being sectioned I was never even asked if I would go informally to a inpatient hospital and was told I was been given (2 weeks) to turn things around and show improvements. They then called me at around 6pm at night to tell me that I have to go now so for me it was very stressful, unfair and not the best. However this doesn’t mean that this is how it will turn out for you. When your sectioned you don’t get treated horribly or anything your treatment is the same but you aren’t allowed to leave the hospital without getting your doctor to write up a “section 17” which allows you to leave the hospital for up to so many minutes. I hope this all makes sense. Sending you so much love please don’t worry ❤
Also as well I was exactly the same I never wanted to go and believed I didn’t need to go but it really did help me get on track and I hate to admit it but it did so just have a little think about it, maybe if you go you won’t be there too long and you can get back to having more freedom and your life, you deserve that so much !! Keep on fighting x
May I ask how much you are supposed to gain per week?
As a guideline they suggested 0.5kg - 1kg per week but any increase was still seen as a positive 😊
@@Demiproudman ah yeah okay 🙈
