Well I'd change the "new" for a "I was, and wanna keep being everyone's friend, nurse " Because a new optimistic can do the basics of her job , instead of the want to be everyone's friend.
Remember the nurse from Cool Kids Don't Cry. The scene where Akkie (MC) and some of the other kids poured salt in her coffee end you could see how her expression conveyed happiness over how her patients at the children's cancer ward could still enjoy being kids. But at the same time pain over knowing that statistically some of them lived on borrowed time.
Fun fact- most Drs/Nurses won’t let you see your weight and won’t mention any change. Numbers can easily trigger those recovering so it’s completely removed from our knowledge
@@Enoughalready20237 I personally went to a regular hospital, but this was in the nutrition/dietician section and my dietician was specifically given to me to work with EDs. Most of the doctors were pretty good about me not being able to see me weight, but I had a few nurses that didn’t read my charts for regular check ups that neglected to turn me around
I actually suffer from this and it’s terrifying how all of a sudden you get to a point that your lying about your weight and doing all this sneaky stuff just so ppl worry less about you only for them to worry more and in turn make you do even more “cover up”. I always thought I was fine, but I’ve seen pictures. It’s still very easy to fall into old habits but I constantly have checks in place so I do eat and get enough nutrients. My rock bottom was when I was dating a junkie cuz I didn’t want anyone worrying about me, and he ended up leaving me cuz he was scared he would wake up one day, see me dead from malnourishment, and proceed to OD cuz of a broken heart. He was healthy to point and he was always so worried about making sure I was good and fed. He died a year or so ago and I’m just here trying to hold on to this life I was given.
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.Romans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".
@GodOfMoonlight Don’t you ever give up. I know long term ED and i also know suffering from more loss than you could have conceived would ever happen to you, as you have experienced. Don’t you dare give up & let the worst parts of life take you down. You didn’t come here to only know and carry suffering, yours or anybody else’s. You came here to learn what an incredible powerhouse of a human being you are. Fk shame & all that comes with it. Fk whoever made you feel unseen and convinced you that you have no power in your life. You have to see the healing that comes from loving yourself as hard as you can. The confidence & resilience you will hold when you look back and realize how much of what you struggle with was never a fault in you. You just have to experience it 🩵 Look for some root cause trauma therapy exercises or modules / videos online. I swear it helped me so much and so fast. Forgive yourself, especially for the things you had no control over. The rest will be easier 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
As someone who still occasionally struggles with their ED, I have to break the news to most of you-- facilities like this can't "cure" anorexia or other eating disorders. They can only do their best to force meals down your throat to keep you alive long enough to HOPEFULLY encourage you to seek real recovery. Even then, it has to be the individual's CHOICE to recover..
@@JigglyPuff_JesusChristLovesYou How are they encouraging anyone to not seek mental health services? If anything, their advice is to consider other mental health options along side. From their experience, facilities such as do not offer any real mental health services; their goal is to get you to eat so that you don’t die.
@@JigglyPuff_JesusChristLovesYou Sadly enough they are only speaking (writing) the truth, it’s the same for most addictions. Beating the addiction has to come from within and even then the battle is still on going….
As someone who works with inpatient EDs in a hospital our job isn't to cure the ED, that happens in the community. Our job is to get you healthy enough that's you're safe enough to heal in the community
@@airstrawbonnie-ci4ykcan result in death . If no one helps people who suffer from anorexia , it can be a life sentence that sends many to an early grave . It can destroy a persons body. Most can cover up how thin they are , put on an appearance of being ok until being “ ok “ unravels and the illness shows its true face . This medical condition stems from mental health . Think addiction , you can treat the addiction but , the fears of relapsing will always exist . I hope this explains things a little.
@@airstrawbonnie-ci4ykpeople with anorexia often feel and see themselves as fat and try to lose weight, resulting in some sort of addiction with the difference that they aren’t aware, they just want to get thinner cause the way they see themselves (as fat), but it is different from the actual physical state they’re in. Because of the way they receive themselves many people with anorexia are on the verge of death and many also die from it. The opposite is called „bigorexia" ("megarexia", or "reverse anorexia") it‘s the same but with obesity (people think their/receive themselves as to skinny even though they end up obese)
RED BAND SOCIETY(series): The fact that she "had to brush her teeth"/put on a thick 2ss sweatshirt, before a weigh in should have sent up some major red flags. I'm not a nurse and even I caught on.
My mother does this , but she doesnt have an ED , hell she ests more than some fat people I know. There's a wide list of reasons patients would fool their weight. In her case shes just embarassed and literally dying. Dont be so quick to judge people. As a nurse you should know that....
@stonedgoddess420 the girl has an eating disorder. Her medical history supports a history of lying, cheating and manipulative techniques to not gain weight. Nurses don't all assume. But a red flag should be ... i just spoke with you in a short sleeve top now you are wearing a big hoodie. Not I am dying of cancer and weight 80 pounds no matter what. That is a red flag for other reasons. The girl with ed may learn to do diffrent. Cancer could care less.
Yes, gennerally that would be the case, but this is a short of an eating disorder treatment program in a searies. They are supposed to be watching for this when treating for EDs. @@stonedgoddess420
@@stonedgoddess420 the character in the show DOES have an ED though. That’s why she’s in the hospital, and the show goes into the reason she’s pretending to gain weight. It’s not an assumption or judgement by any means, but I get where your heart is at
I am a survivor of anorexia… I was dying… but a good friend saved my life and looking back, then I am eternally grateful for her. And I’m just gonna say that if you or anyone you know is struggling then pls help them and seek support.. you are NOT alone in this! It’s hard at first but you’ve got this!!
When I was in a mental hospital, one of my friends was anorexic. She was supposed to eat a yoghurt, and when she was done she went to the toilet. When she said she needed to go, I saw that she hadn't swallowed the yoghurt, and it was all still in her mouth (It was a super super small yoghurt, so it isn't hard to fit it in your mouth) and she was nog going on the toilet, she was going to spit it out in the sink. I told the nurse sitting next to us and he just straight up didn't believe me and let her go. Another guy who overheard it, told me I was a bad friend. I was so mad. I'm not a bad friend for caring for my fucking friend. Anorexia patients are not supposed to go to the toilet right after eating, for this exact reason. I was genuinely so frustrated
You did the right thing, even if people get mad at you you should know that you are a good person. Maybe talk to her as well to make sure she knows you are there for her
@@im_cart8656 wow. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. I have to admit, I was prepared to curse you out after you continued to insult me for no reason. But you took the high road. Thank you
I had bulimia for 2 years on and off during high school. I wasn't entirely sure if I was depressed at some point but I know I used to be really insecure, had low self esteem, too-naive-toxic-first-relationship issues, and personal problems at home too, topped with not being academically inclined either. I was 14-17 years old and just like most people, it was the worse phase of learning to navigate through my thoughts and emotions. I suddenly became bulimic from all my stress and anxieties and I had no adult or family member I felt safe being vulnerable with. Expressing myself felt embarrassing and though I wasn't an outcast in school, there were still people who were evidently mean. I dropped from 54kg to 47kg within 2 months without excercise at all. I remember eating brunch and the rest I would eat in a day would end up being self induced vomitted. After a long time of doing that, my throat started drying and hurting a bit and it came to a point where my chest or breast area would suddenly feel weird. My grandmother was the first to notice my weight change when I visited my home province. I only fully recovered from bulimia when I was 19 and I have all my original weight back now. I just hope people would stop romanticizing or making memes about ED because it's a whole different story when you're romanticizing/laughing about it versus when you're actually having it. ED is always accompanied with mental health issues and it's always easier to tell someone to stop doing it than when you're actually in the same shoes. Whenever I think of my younger self, as an adult it makes me want to hold her tight and tell her it's going to be okay.
@6Haunted-Days, I probably only took her 2 years since she probably found out that their ED was connected to someone much bigger this it speed up the recovery. There are a lot of people that take longer like 4 but that's because they so invested that they don't want to think outside the box in fear of losing the little power they have.
To add on what I was stating, it's doesn't matter ha How long you have an Ed it's and ED! People with Ed's think about food and /or of fat gain EVERY DAY almost 24/7 so even for 2 years that is fuc*ing insane!
Also don't invalidate her past you weren't her back then, instead just see her as "lucky" to end it quicker (even though 2 years is a long time with an Ann ed).
@@6Haunted-Days I started being bulimic when I was 14 years old until 17. It was on and off. Which means if I were to approximately combine the days I self induced committed it was almost equivalent to 730 days or 2 years. Like I said, my throat and chest started hurting at some point which is why there were times I stopped doing it. Being bulimic is done intentionally so I stopped doing it many times intentionally too, to spare my throat which I needed for speaking and drinking water. It was highschool and I still participated in school activities, to clear that up. Bulimia cases are not the same for everyone. Some are actively bulimic (on a daily basis) and some are not. There are also cases where a person feels better for a few months and then go back to being bulimic months after. Which is what happened to me. It's a matter of self esteem and insecurities during one's highschool years.
I was skinny all my life and still now. I never had an eating disorder yet people thought I did. Clearly I didn’t because I didn’t care about what I ate. I just ate when I was hungry also eating whatever I wanted. Found out I have hyperthyroidism. If my family doctor would have just checked my blood it wouldn’t have been a problem for me to gain weight
Same I've been skinny all my life up till now I'm 21 and practically still the same weight and everything. I always ate and still do eat whatever I want and only till I'm full of course and I eat lots of fattening things or even protein and stuff and yet I've never been able to gain weight or nothing. I think it's my metabolism probably so I can eat whatever with no consequences other than tummy aches of course. I had a couple of teachers at my school when i was younger accuse me of not being fed enough by my mother that one teacher in particular called CPS on my mother and tried to say she was a bad mother which wasn't the case at all because i ate but my teachers are just nosy and rude. Like as if my mother didn't feed me pfft I can't help I was born like this so I feel you. I've literally always weighed like 95 pounds consistently. I think I gained maybe 1 or maybe 2 more pounds when I was in middle school cuz I was even skinnier in elementary but had like a 1/2 pound change but that's it and ever since then I never grew again. It's always been 95. I could eat KFC and fried donuts and nothing or healthy selection of coconut and oranges and still nothing changes. As long as you're in good health and taking care of yourself properly and eating a good balance of all the food groups with some junk sometimes then you'll be fine. Who cares what others think about our weights as long as we're fine with them. I've learned to just accept that I will forever be a stick and that's ok just call me twiggy from here on out. 😂 Stay healthy and whatever weight you're at is fine as long as you are eating and trying maybe drink those protein weight gain drinks/protein powder or something, I tried that when I was younger and it sorta helped, barely. 🤗
I used to do this all the time. I’m in recovery but when you have an ED you never fully recover. It’s so easy to slide back into that mindset. Praying for everyone who is also struggling 💕
Bro that’s crazy I hadn’t watched big time rush since I was a kid and I was wondering why she looked so familiar and it just clicked when I saw ur comment
As someone who has been through ED rehab, this series really bothered me with its inaccuracies lol. The patient usually doesn't get to see their weight, the staff doesn't comment like "yay! you gained!" and weights are taken in gowns and underwear only, first thing in the morning. I also cringe at her discharge scene when the therapist says, "You thought if you ate something bad, you WERE bad!" Food does not have moral value, an ED therapist would NEVER say you ate something "bad". Also the unsupervised meal times. That being said, I actually still really enjoyed the stores lol
@@JessicaDault-ov9gr It’s a series called Red Band Society! It’s an amazing show and I’d definitely recommend it. It shows the lives of many of the teens there while being in hospice, including Emma, the girl shown in this clip!
This is very realisitic about mental disorder patient, one of the thing make treatment process so hard, is the fact a lot of them has a tendency to lie to the nurses and doctors, its not their fault but think of it as the self-protection mechanism of the disease itself so a lot of caretakers, nurses etc, would start off everything with a doubt, especially when things go as planned, but that also make the patients feel untrusted and unsecured, kind of a unpreventable bad cycle
@@75ur15 If you every work with or live with a patient, you know that's really not that simple, disorder like anxiety actually putting thoughts in their mind to repel treatments, because the flood of negative thoughts and tendency to think the worst of everything would suggest them the treatments are just time-consuming and don't work, age is not the anything, being older just mean they have more freedom to escape from treatment and better on lying. I understand a lot of people would just blaming the patient because all they do look like their choices, but if everyone think like that, no one would care to help them, that's just my personal experience, you could have different opinions on that, what I meant to comment this is just help a bit to let people think differently on the issue.
@lll-lq4zt I said in general adults are still responsible for their actions, she gets a partial pass for her age....the general statement that a problem like this can be ised as an excuse leads to very bad things happening when a person realizes they have little to no consequences
@johnzt8020 my only stance is, if you allow leniency to the point you remove responsibility from a person, who stull has agency to decide for themsleves...chaos ensues....if a person is so far gone they can't control their actions. They should have restricted freedom...if they CAN control it, even if it is harder, then they should jave their freedom, with the understanding of consequences for actions they take
Once you have an ED, you never fully recover. Always counting the calories and worrying about gaining weight. The only way to survive is to control and remember how miserable you feel while being at your lowest weight.
i used to starve myself too. Now i have an illness my stomach is paralyzed. I live on infusions and am not allowed to eat anything.My doctor says I will never be able to eat again. Only problem: i need to drink water with sugar else i woud die (Diabetis). I am overweight and i will never be thin again. I wish i had easten something when i was able to.
Stop saying those lies. Some people are more intelligent than others and have stronger will. Not everyone is you. People absolutely DO a full recovery because ED is not a disorder of someone’s appearance. Or eating habits. Its a disorder of the nervous system.
I did this. I did not have an intentional eating disorder. I was a 31yo with full braces, including occlusal stops on my back molars. It was so difficult and painful to eat, that I didn't, until I no longer had any appetite. I went to my doctor, as I had lost 20lbs. I was originally 92 lbs, due to an overactive resting thyroid (finally diagnosed 10 years later). So, I freaked out, when I discovered that I was only 72 lbs. I thought the gaunt look to my face was due to it being reshaped by my braces. And my clothes never fit snugly in the first place. I asked the doctor for an appetite enhancer to kick start my stomach hormones. I was told that no such thing existed. (Ok, this was CA, where medical cannabis was perfectly legal, but whatever). I was told to drink Ensure (hated the taste). I was also threatened with a psychic hold, if I didn't agree to weigh-in every Saturday, until I put on ten pounds. (BS, because it was a legit medical reason, not a psychological one. If someone had mouth sores or stomach pain or something else, they would have helped. But apparently, pain from orthodontics is not a valid excuse to not want to eat). I had no desire to entertain their insulting threats and did their weigh-in for two Saturdays, increasing the change in my pockets each time. I addressed the issue myself with processed sugar and high fat foods. Not a great solution, but several cheesecakes and milkshakes later, I returned to my 92 lbs.
Since nobody else replied yet, I just wanted to say I’m super sorry you went through that. Nobody deserves to be in such pain! I completely understand what you were going through, and I am glad you are doing better now! ❤️
I went thru something super similar, although this was at a time when there were meds for appetite. I was misdiagnosed with many things even an ED. hope you are doing okay now! I just ended up with a feeding tube
For someone who gains weight easily like saying ABC and becomes obese (BMI), and gets threatened / scolding by the doctor that you will get Diabetes, stroke , heart attack, etc if you don't do something about your weight. I feel your pain.
As an RN who saw several true anorexic women die even though hospitalized. ( they were seriously suicidal ) I can tell you. Body dysmorphic disorder is no joke or made up diagnosis. It's real and can be life threatening due to lack of electrolytes and body chemistry disruption😮 the sufferers feel totally fat and can't accept help from many medical people, whom they see as obese. Even if they're not 😮😮
@@defnottinleytho cry about it. That’s all. If you don’t know how to spell and don’t want to improve, go cry about. Don’t reply and waste RUclips’s storage space and my time.
Honestly, I don’t get how someone ever could have an idea that isolating people with mental health issues in an institution with plenty of people having the SAME issue is going to help. If you get a group of bikers and send them away for a retreat, would you expect that they would somehow stop liking bikes?
Red Band Society is one of the greatest shows I've ever watched and as a disabled/chronically ill person it genuinely made me feel seen in many ways. This show is so human and though it could have been done better in some ways, they did an incredible job on showing a lot of things society just doesn't talk about and that real people struggle with daily.
Idk who Melanie Martinez is but my sister was hospitalized and given a sippy cup because it goata so bsd for her to eat or drink too much at a time she had to introduce everything back slowly...
I was living in an eating disorder unit for a year suffering from anorexia and bulimia nervosa it’s very difficult to deal with and you’ll forever be in recovery e even if you are in remission recovery is lifelong
My mom worked in a pediatric psych ward and that nurse did a lot, if not all of it wrong. You never leave an anorexic alone before checking her weight. You have to always be with her, preventing her from doing the tricks you saw on the video. Gotta subtract the weight of the clothes and have to escort her to the weighing room. She can't do anything before weight check except for emptying bladder and intestines. Nurses in a psych ward know how smart these kids get when they're inside and they have to anticipate every move the kids may try to pull to fool them. Nurses must outsmart the patients or else it's very dangerous for them and they don't get better
@@jennyhaslayer1396 ? If you're correcting the fact I said her, you are right but I was addressing the video more than anything. Actually mentioning real life is what I say at the end of the comment
We weren’t even allowed to have water bottles. We had to ask for water and they’d provide it in cups which we had to drink at the nurses station. We were never deprived of water, but they were very mindful of the tricks we would use. Also they’d weigh us first thing in the morning so we’d never have a chance to alter the weight.
It’s interesting to me that anorexia is considered an eating disorder that requires immediate intervention, but obesity is not. They are both mental disorders that that affect physical perception and both are deadly. People seem to think that obese individuals should “just stop eating so much” or “exercise more” or “stop eat so much junk food.” Just as you cannot tell a person w anorexia to eat, you cannot tell a person with obesity to stop.
I beleive this may be due to anorexia being deadly short term and obeasity killing over many years. This is why one forces a hospital stay for imediate action and one your doctor tries to help you with at yearly exams.
I don't believe obesity is a disease it's a description, isn't it? In addition many factors go into why someone is overweight while anorexia is it's own thing. Being overweight doesn't mean you have a mental disorder (it CAN but not every obese person does whereas ever anorexic has anorexia)
Interesting. While anorexia has more acute symptoms, obesity does take a while to kill. Nevertheless, it is a disease and is categorized as such in medicine. The approach to obesity tends to be strictly medical- drugs and surgery rather than approaching from a psychological standpoint. And I’m not meaning overweight as in a body could lose 50lbs or so…I mean morbid obesity.
@@allisonhan6760anyone with an eating disorder should seek immediate treatment for it. This is a dangerous thing to say. Your weight is not the only signifier of your health, you may be at a “healthy” weight, but your disorder is still harming you. Not just physically but mentally. This is coming from someone in treatment right now. No mental or physical health issue should go untreated, it is ALWAYS best to seek treatment sooner rather than later. Please don’t give this advice to people.
I agree that eating disorders that cause weight gain aren’t treated with the same respect, but obesity itself isn’t an eating disorder. Just like being underweight isn’t. It can be caused by an eating disorder, but that doesn’t always mean an eating disorder is what’s causing it.
I first developed an ED when I was 13. I'm currently 29, and I've recently had a "relapse." Every single day is such a struggle. I hate myself so much, I hate how I look and how I feel, I hate the pressure around having to eat, and I hate that people in my personal life don't understand how hard it is. I detest feeling so helpless, like I'm lost to this, like I'm nothing. My ED stems from trauma and feeling like I have no control. Which is ridiculous because here I am with no control all over again. I'm just so tired. I'm getting help, but that doesn't make anything any easier. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk x
I'm sorry you're going through that. Even though it might not feel like it right now, it won't be the same as when you were younger. You will have learned so much in the time since, and even though it might be hard to access right now, all the work you did is still inside you. I hope things get easier soon.
WOMP WOMP. 1st world problem of food availability. I really need to try annorexia again, I did it for a summer in my early 20s and only stopped cause I kept losing muscle. I remember when it was the rage in the early 2000s. Now the west are trying to justify obesity through “body positivity”, it’s like when this society gets more into sin like being sizes unrecorded naturally in human history horizontally, it tries to explain itself. Fun fact, less than 5 percent of obese people in America have a medical reason for it, and in Japan, there is a such a stigma that look at the how low its death rate from obesity related codiseases are. It’s mostly women who are on the body positivity front acting like people were actually discriminating against them. No they weren’t, you just want recognition cause guys don’t pay attention to you. Men don’t do that, obese men happily live their sad lives playing Roblox and keep quiet. As it should be. Americans are the biggest, not minding my own business for having 1st world self inflicted problems.
I know what you are going through. I didn't realize I had ED since I grew up not eating for days as a kid. Then as a teen I hated my aunts cooking and got it in my head that eating is a waste of time. I am now 36 lost my gallbladder, and now have thyroid issues thanks to my eating habits. Its's also so hard to lose weight and the doctors tell me to cut calories. I eat between 700-900 on my good days. On my less see how low I can go or just don't care I will eat 0-500. I am at the clinic all the time because my body now won't absorb vitamins, and put 2 and 2 together making me admit my problem. An old manager would ask me when I would come in if I ate anything today since I started to faint more and more. My husband found out on one of our trips, now he gets on my case. I struggle everyday since now all I do is gain weight with anything above 700 calories. Also my doctors keep trying to place me on diet pills, and the shot. Its tempting but the side effects are bad.
@helenviviennefletcher8474 This is my 5th relapse so you're right that all the work is there but I have to deal with the cause now which is something I've never really done, I'll get there its just really hard to get through and it's almost shameful to be going through it again, I don't like going backwards or feeling like rock bottom has a basement. Thank you for your kindness, it's really nice x
@MB-jq8kr I'm so, so sorry for your struggle. I can definitely relate to how hard it is to lose weight, especially as we get older and the set of our bodies change. I often find myself looking at teenagers and feeling resentful that I don't have their figure and then feel disgust because they're literally children, and they aren't even fully developed. I honestly believe if I saw that I weighed 20kgs that I still wouldn't think the number is low enough, but that's just another part of our problem, isn't it? I'm also very malnourished and am on several medications to help with it because I'm meeting less than 50% of my dietary requirements. I'm sorry for all the stress and pressure of people being on your back about eating all the time. It just adds more stress and makes it a task that you resent even more, no matter how well they mean. I wish there was something to fix us forever. I hope you can eventually find some inner peace, you deserve it 🫰🏻

Most hospitals treating eating disorders do tests that determine the specific weight of a person i.e. if a person drinks lots of water before (more than usually) it shows. (It's a really simple urine test)

I’m 50 and have had anorexia or bulimia throughout my life. I remember drinking Tab in the 70’s - I was under seven and had always been “on a diet to lose weight.” It’s a struggle I’ll always have but I’ve really learned how to deal with it. Learning to live with it AND not participate in all the activities is how I have accepted it. Sending strength to everyone.
Ciara was perfect for this role. She is naturally super skinny but healthy and I think they make her look skinnier than she is with CGI and stuff like that
Fr! Sometimes you can look at the keyboard when they are typing it in tho. I’m scared for my next weigh in cause I’ve been exercising and not eating breakfast. Does anyone have some tips?
Heyy! I’ve been struggling with an ed for a while now and it’s important to stop it at early stages. Exercising and not eating breakfast isn’t too bad, just make sure u are drinking TONS of water, and make sure to eat a lot of protein! Plus try to have a snack during the day or have bigger meals!
@@user-ym2dx7rm8dyes!! this is exactly what i do to get through the day, however i would have a protein bar before the gym or you will get light headed quick, also probably throw up or pass out- my rule is at least half a protein bar or a smoothie
@@user-ym2dx7rm8d ALSO ALSO THIS IS SO IMPORTANT DRINK ELECTROLYTES! Water isn't enough to be hydrated. I almost died last month from potassium deficiency, and I'm in recovery from my ED, I was just dehydrated. Eat protein, essential amino acids, and electrolytes!
Yeah also a counselor/nurse would never scream “wow!! You gained a pound!” in a room full of other people. You’re either alone with them in the room, or in a far corner of the room, step on backwards, and no words are exchanged. They just jot down the weight.
Im crying you dont know how much this means❤❤!!! YOU are my angel!! i just get off a call with work and just overwhelmed with so much stress in my life. I was asking God how to juggle it & your video was my answer. Thank you for being he hand of God to help me back up again. Sending all my love and God's protection over your heart and mind, ❤🫶🥰🥰
That's why you normally have bathroom supervision at least before weigh ins. It really depends on where you are and how much responsibility they give you for yourself. Most of the time they weigh you in underwear and if they are suspicious that you are drinking a lot beforehand they do random weigh ins for example during the night/early morning. In some cases the bathroom will be permanently locked and you are only allowed to go when someone is standing behind the open door listening to you (with suicidal ideation even watching you), you don't get water bottles for your room etc.
All of this is wrong. Have dealt with EDs, my child, for over 10 years. I too am an ex nurse. Weigh ins are done in a gown and you need to sit in a chair with your back to the computer. There is no chance of seeing the scales or computer. Eating is done also in a gown in a room monitored by staff. You have 30 minutes to eat. Then you are required to sit for 1 hour. No toilet breaks or any chance to purge or hide food. If your calorie intake is not met after a week, then you are fitted with a nasal gastric feeding tube via a pump that is also code locked, to prevent tampering. This tube will remain in until calorie intake is met for a week. This show, whatever it is, needs to have maybe better research writers. Although I'm Australian so this could be different to the US Btw my child is a healthy eater now but i still have strict guidelines implimented now, even though they are in their 20s
@@ezra5737 it doesn't matter if it's a show. When you are dealing with such a serious real issue it should be portrayed in a way that expresses how it is in real life. I know it's a show and it's ridiculous shows like this that affect people in a negative way
I can definitely relate to this. I remember being in treatment for 5 months (recently it had been getting hard again and have found myself doing old habits) and I hated when nurses would have me stand backwards. It was mentally painful and it made me hate myself not knowing. Whenever we’d get weighed in we wouldn’t be told by nurses that we gained and that they’re happy for us, they would say things like have a good day or something to kinda make us smile in the moment but I will say I was thankful that they didn’t tell us if we gained because imagine how that would make someone with an ed feel being told they gained, it would hurt them mentally. Though I vaguely remember treatment (brain fog), I remember how I would cry afterwards or want to cry during meals and a friend I made while in treatment even I think cried once and it pained me to see that. It’s not easy going through this but I also wish that medical professionals would understand that no matter someone weighs, Ed’s aren’t about the food specifically, it’s more mental than anything and someone’s weight shouldn’t keep them from getting treatment from medical professionals, if they have an ed then they need help to get through it and beat it, regardless of the weight. I hope that at some point medical professionals and just in general that can be seen. For anyone struggling, I hope you get better because you are worth it and deserve happiness and you will overcome it! Hugs ❤
We were allowed a bra or singlet, underwear, and depending on who was doing the weigh in that day you might be allowed tights. And they didn't get you one at a time, you had to line up outside the room with the scale. Aside from being absolutely freezing, it also meant any other patients who were up early would see you parading around. FUN.
@@Sayorithecinnamonbun that's very insightful. Is it a nudity thing or something? You're covered with a gown so I just don't know what you're talking about
Lived in a group home FULL of girls with ED. My first roommate was the worst (both personality wise and mentally) something like this would be the tip of the iceberg of stuff she'd pull. We had to eat together with staff and they'd always supervise her especially cause she pulled stunts 24/7. She once decided shed eat a chunk of cheese for dinner, or at least thats what she said she did but sadly for her there was a very obvious streak from when she put the cheese in her hoodie pocket. Once the staff noticed it there was no use denying so she had to sit at that table for the rest of the night until she'd finish it. I never found out what happened to her but can confidently say the rest of the girls there left and are doing well to this day. Recovery is possible. Hard, but possible.
I’m almost 39 and I think the years of not eating/ not eating enough have cause neurological issues. I can’t think like I used to. We are all perfect the way we are. Please take care of yourselves. ❤
Ciara Bravo is a really talented actress, and it’s crazy to me that when I was watching Big Time Rush, she and I were the same age, but know she looks “all grown up”
as a hospital worker, it's very important that patients (especially children) with an eating disorder are accompanied by a staff member to ensure something like this doesn't occur. there should have been someone there to watch her "brush her teeth" and she should not be allowed to have her own personal water bottle as that can easily add some artificial weight. she should also not be allowed to wear her own personal clothing especially during a weigh in as the hospital should know the weight of their own gown and bottom, whereas her personal clothing could easily be weighed.
I know of somebody in this condition-- well maybe worse than hers. Its so hard to watch somebody go through this. Especially if theyre actually trying to get healthy again and get denied full healthcare and dying from it where others are just glorifying it and have no passion to get better. Just like any disease or disorder, I know it doesnt happen overnight. Idk the full story of this situation, but it made me feel like she didnt try. Hearing her talk of the future makes me even more sad if she won't change her ways, she won't see thay future.
Yeah. I am waiting to get into an inpatient eating disorder clinic at 5"6. I am 86 pounds. 90 if I eat decently. I am supposed to be 115 to 125. It's hard.
It's not their fault that they struggle to get better and they should never be shamed for struggling with their Disorder. It's a MENTAL Disorder, it effects the way they think and feel, and yes sometimes it makes them want to not get better.....because that's what this Disorder does? I don't know what everyone always has with blaming people for their mental Disorders/illness and struggling to get better, but It's really sad and makes the person suffering feel even worse.

@@shaderchase2118 I'm only talking about one individual who flaunts their ED not everybody. I know what it is I've been there and still struggle with certain situations.
It sucks, as happy as she was for her that poor girl wasn't happy with herself at all. I've been through a mild ED experience and we often don't want to hear that we've gained weight. That's why its better off not to tell the patient or let them see. I personally refuse to look at the weight of myself.
You very much can. You got that from a movie...remember. When you get to the point of literally seeing bones you can die. And no one should die like that
I don't judge this disease but I'll never be able to understand why anyone would ever want too make their self throw up, I hate throwing up it gives me the worst anxiety to even think about throwing up.
@@lux---3purging is common within all types of eating disorders bulimia - eating an excessive amount of food then getting rid of it via purging or exercising anorexia - restricting food intake binge eating disorder - eating a large amount of food in a short period of time which is often followed by guilt and self loathing Eating disorders aren’t a choice btw
this movie is kinda unrealistic because in ACTUAL weigh ins they ask you to take off all of your clothes and they even check if you hide something inside your bra
That's not always a standard practice by any means. No one ever checked anything like that when it came to weighing me. I went to numerous treatment facilities and saw different doctors, nutritionists etc and no one ever checked if I was hiding anything, etc.
Realistically they would not show her her weight or tell her she has gained… I know not every place is the same but as someone who went to two different treatment centers for anorexia, they never tell you your weight. And they also make you weigh in a hospital gown or t shirt, no pants/sweatshirts/bras/etc
I had an ED for many years it just got progressively worse as time went on. I suffered two cardiac arreats in quick sucession. I was put into a medically induced coma and almost died from pneumonia whilst in it. Thankfully I have made a full recovery and have a second chance at life. I am still so scared to gain weight but I do ensure I eat enough and workout regularly. I don't weigh my self very often if at all anymore. I have a teenage daughter and she knows how important it is to fuel your body and food is good for you.
I’ve been in a psych ward with an ED. They weigh you in just a hospital gown, first thing in the morning. They also test your wee to check for water loading. They know all the tricks.
The horrifying part of anorexia is once your body’s gone through all possible storage of fats and energy it will try pulling from every organ before your body can’t even supply to the brain properly and can cause permanent brain damage as a last resort to maintain survival. Her talking about going to a Yale summer camp is so tragic considering she’s doesn’t know the full extent of what prolonged starvation will do to her mind.
Naked seems so violating, especially to ppl with body insecurities. at least let ppl wear the gown or something. All in all, bless u & I’m happy 4u, hope u are feeling better. I’m happy ur here
As someone who was in an Eating disorder ward, belly scans of the bladder were taken before the weigh in to check that there was no fluid and everyone had to have a pee with the nurse in the bathroom. Everyone was in gowns with only undies on. And NO ONE was allowed to know their weight, u could ask but everyone said no.
I'd just like people to know in MOST places that are for recovering from an ED they will watch your every move IF they tell you it's time for a weight check. Some places just do them randomly to avoid these problems. But in most situations like the one in the clip that nurse wouldn't have left the room or even turned her back after telling her it's time and after she did she would've gotten a MUCH harsher talk from her boss
This is a hard watch, I know it's just a TV show, but it hits home. My eldest daughter almost died from Anorexia in 2019. We took her to the Dr 3 times with concerns about her weight loss, always being cold, awful circulation, headaches, stomach pains, dizziness, tiredness, plus many other things no 13 year old should be going through. We were told 3 times it was just growth spurts and hormones kicking in, which we were NOT satisfied with. It wasn't until I insisted she saw a different Dr that she was admitted to the local children's ward immediately. She was so weak that her heart was working so hard, she could have dropped from a heart attack at any second. She was put on strict bed rest and had to be wheeled in a chair everywhere, even down to the bathroom. I was staying at the hospital with her night and day while also going home to be there for my other 2 children before school and after school and to put them to bed. I felt awful as my Husband was working away, which meant my Mother in Law had to stay with my other 2 while I was at the hospital. I was going home to cook meals to take to the hospital for my eldest so she would eat, as well as cook for my other two and get them to bed. I am thankful I was able to be there for each of her check ups and weigh ins. They would never weigh a patient with an ED in front of other people though, that would be terrible to do to someone struggling with their self perception. 5 years on she is doing so much better, but the Anorexia and other things that she has going on, will be there for the rest of her life. Don't think I will ever get to a point where I won't worry if there's a slight change in the way she is eating or what she is choosing to eat, it will always be there.
@@mikaylashuttleworth3882Sounds like you are an incredible mother. My mom (and my dad too) has always been there for me and my twin sister through our physical and mental health struggles (not ED related) and people don’t understand how strong parents like you are!

New optimistic nurse in the mental health field vs the experienced one

Remember the nurse from Cool Kids Don't Cry.

@@shellw1276not when you're in a treatment center for an eating disorder. Facts
Is this in an eating disorder facility? Because I know that’s not the case with regular nurses or doctors
@@Enoughalready20237 I personally went to a regular hospital, but this was in the nutrition/dietician section and my dietician was specifically given to me to work with EDs. Most of the doctors were pretty good about me not being able to see me weight, but I had a few nurses that didn’t read my charts for regular check ups that neglected to turn me around
Ohhhhh makes sense
I actually suffer from this and it’s terrifying how all of a sudden you get to a point that your lying about your weight and doing all this sneaky stuff just so ppl worry less about you only for them to worry more and in turn make you do even more “cover up”. I always thought I was fine, but I’ve seen pictures. It’s still very easy to fall into old habits but I constantly have checks in place so I do eat and get enough nutrients. My rock bottom was when I was dating a junkie cuz I didn’t want anyone worrying about me, and he ended up leaving me cuz he was scared he would wake up one day, see me dead from malnourishment, and proceed to OD cuz of a broken heart. He was healthy to point and he was always so worried about making sure I was good and fed. He died a year or so ago and I’m just here trying to hold on to this life I was given.
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.Romans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".
@GodOfMoonlight Don’t you ever give up. I know long term ED and i also know suffering from more loss than you could have conceived would ever happen to you, as you have experienced.
Don’t you dare give up & let the worst parts of life take you down. You didn’t come here to only know and carry suffering, yours or anybody else’s.
You came here to learn what an incredible powerhouse of a human being you are. Fk shame & all that comes with it. Fk whoever made you feel unseen and convinced you that you have no power in your life. You have to see the healing that comes from loving yourself as hard as you can. The confidence & resilience you will hold when you look back and realize how much of what you struggle with was never a fault in you. You just have to experience it 🩵
Look for some root cause trauma therapy exercises or modules / videos online. I swear it helped me so much and so fast. Forgive yourself, especially for the things you had no control over. The rest will be easier 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

As someone who still occasionally struggles with their ED, I have to break the news to most of you-- facilities like this can't "cure" anorexia or other eating disorders. They can only do their best to force meals down your throat to keep you alive long enough to HOPEFULLY encourage you to seek real recovery. Even then, it has to be the individual's CHOICE to recover..
PLEASE don’t say such things and encourage people suffering to not seek help! Mental health services saved my life, by the grace of Jesus Christ.
@@JigglyPuff_JesusChristLovesYou How are they encouraging anyone to not seek mental health services? If anything, their advice is to consider other mental health options along side. From their experience, facilities such as do not offer any real mental health services; their goal is to get you to eat so that you don’t die.

Sadly enough they are only speaking (writing) the truth, it’s the same for most addictions.

If no one helps people who suffer from anorexia , it can be a life sentence that sends many to an early grave .
It can destroy a persons body. Most can cover up how thin they are , put on an appearance of being ok until being “ ok “ unravels and the illness shows its true face .
This medical condition stems from mental health .

I hope this explains things a little.
I agree. I am still in recovery ❤
@@airstrawbonnie-ci4ykpeople with anorexia often feel and see themselves as fat and try to lose weight, resulting in some sort of addiction with the difference that they aren’t aware, they just want to get thinner cause the way they see themselves (as fat), but it is different from the actual physical state they’re in. Because of the way they receive themselves many people with anorexia are on the verge of death and many also die from it.
The opposite is called „bigorexia" ("megarexia", or "reverse anorexia") it‘s the same but with obesity (people think their/receive themselves as to skinny even though they end up obese)
I assumed this was bulimia at first when she said she needed to brush her teeth. Apparently not.
RED BAND SOCIETY(series): The fact that she "had to brush her teeth"/put on a thick 2ss sweatshirt, before a weigh in should have sent up some major red flags. I'm not a nurse and even I caught on.
My mother does this , but she doesnt have an ED , hell she ests more than some fat people I know. There's a wide list of reasons patients would fool their weight. In her case shes just embarassed and literally dying.
Dont be so quick to judge people. As a nurse you should know that....
@stonedgoddess420 the girl has an eating disorder. Her medical history supports a history of lying, cheating and manipulative techniques to not gain weight.
Nurses don't all assume. But a red flag should be ... i just spoke with you in a short sleeve top now you are wearing a big hoodie. Not I am dying of cancer and weight 80 pounds no matter what. That is a red flag for other reasons.
The girl with ed may learn to do diffrent. Cancer could care less.

When I was in a mental hospital, one of my friends was anorexic. She was supposed to eat a yoghurt, and when she was done she went to the toilet. When she said she needed to go, I saw that she hadn't swallowed the yoghurt, and it was all still in her mouth (It was a super super small yoghurt, so it isn't hard to fit it in your mouth) and she was nog going on the toilet, she was going to spit it out in the sink. I told the nurse sitting next to us and he just straight up didn't believe me and let her go. Another guy who overheard it, told me I was a bad friend. I was so mad. I'm not a bad friend for caring for my fucking friend. Anorexia patients are not supposed to go to the toilet right after eating, for this exact reason. I was genuinely so frustrated
You did the right thing, even if people get mad at you you should know that you are a good person. Maybe talk to her as well to make sure she knows you are there for her

I had bulimia for 2 years on and off during high school. I wasn't entirely sure if I was depressed at some point but I know I used to be really insecure, had low self esteem, too-naive-toxic-first-relationship issues, and personal problems at home too, topped with not being academically inclined either. I was 14-17 years old and just like most people, it was the worse phase of learning to navigate through my thoughts and emotions. I suddenly became bulimic from all my stress and anxieties and I had no adult or family member I felt safe being vulnerable with. Expressing myself felt embarrassing and though I wasn't an outcast in school, there were still people who were evidently mean. I dropped from 54kg to 47kg within 2 months without excercise at all. I remember eating brunch and the rest I would eat in a day would end up being self induced vomitted. After a long time of doing that, my throat started drying and hurting a bit and it came to a point where my chest or breast area would suddenly feel weird. My grandmother was the first to notice my weight change when I visited my home province. I only fully recovered from bulimia when I was 19 and I have all my original weight back now.
I just hope people would stop romanticizing or making memes about ED because it's a whole different story when you're romanticizing/laughing about it versus when you're actually having it. ED is always accompanied with mental health issues and it's always easier to tell someone to stop doing it than when you're actually in the same shoes. Whenever I think of my younger self, as an adult it makes me want to hold her tight and tell her it's going to be okay.
Only 2yrs? Off and on? 🤣🙄 sorry dear that wasn't bulimia. Just unbelievable ignorance.
Just disappeared huh? Went poof?
@6Haunted-Days,
I probably only took her 2 years since she probably found out that their ED was connected to someone much bigger this it speed up the recovery. There are a lot of people that take longer like 4 but that's because they so invested that they don't want to think outside the box in fear of losing the little power they have.
To add on what I was stating, it's doesn't matter ha
How long you have an Ed it's and ED! People with Ed's think about food and /or of fat gain EVERY DAY almost 24/7 so even for 2 years that is fuc*ing insane!
Also don't invalidate her past you weren't her back then, instead just see her as "lucky" to end it quicker (even though 2 years is a long time with an Ann ed).
@@6Haunted-Days I started being bulimic when I was 14 years old until 17. It was on and off. Which means if I were to approximately combine the days I self induced committed it was almost equivalent to 730 days or 2 years. Like I said, my throat and chest started hurting at some point which is why there were times I stopped doing it. Being bulimic is done intentionally so I stopped doing it many times intentionally too, to spare my throat which I needed for speaking and drinking water. It was highschool and I still participated in school activities, to clear that up. Bulimia cases are not the same for everyone. Some are actively bulimic (on a daily basis) and some are not. There are also cases where a person feels better for a few months and then go back to being bulimic months after. Which is what happened to me. It's a matter of self esteem and insecurities during one's highschool years.
I was skinny all my life and still now. I never had an eating disorder yet people thought I did. Clearly I didn’t because I didn’t care about what I ate. I just ate when I was hungry also eating whatever I wanted. Found out I have hyperthyroidism. If my family doctor would have just checked my blood it wouldn’t have been a problem for me to gain weight
Same I've been skinny all my life up till now I'm 21 and practically still the same weight and everything. I always ate and still do eat whatever I want and only till I'm full of course and I eat lots of fattening things or even protein and stuff and yet I've never been able to gain weight or nothing. I think it's my metabolism probably so I can eat whatever with no consequences other than tummy aches of course. I had a couple of teachers at my school when i was younger accuse me of not being fed enough by my mother that one teacher in particular called CPS on my mother and tried to say she was a bad mother which wasn't the case at all because i ate but my teachers are just nosy and rude. Like as if my mother didn't feed me pfft I can't help I was born like this so I feel you. I've literally always weighed like 95 pounds consistently. I think I gained maybe 1 or maybe 2 more pounds when I was in middle school cuz I was even skinnier in elementary but had like a 1/2 pound change but that's it and ever since then I never grew again. It's always been 95. I could eat KFC and fried donuts and nothing or healthy selection of coconut and oranges and still nothing changes. As long as you're in good health and taking care of yourself properly and eating a good balance of all the food groups with some junk sometimes then you'll be fine. Who cares what others think about our weights as long as we're fine with them. I've learned to just accept that I will forever be a stick and that's ok just call me twiggy from here on out. 😂 Stay healthy and whatever weight you're at is fine as long as you are eating and trying maybe drink those protein weight gain drinks/protein powder or something, I tried that when I was younger and it sorta helped, barely. 🤗

This is very realisitic about mental disorder patient, one of the thing make treatment process so hard, is the fact a lot of them has a tendency to lie to the nurses and doctors, its not their fault but think of it as the self-protection mechanism of the disease itself
so a lot of caretakers, nurses etc, would start off everything with a doubt, especially when things go as planned, but that also make the patients feel untrusted and unsecured, kind of a unpreventable bad cycle

I understand a lot of people would just blaming the patient because all they do look like their choices, but if everyone think like that, no one would care to help them, that's just my personal experience, you could have different opinions on that, what I meant to comment this is just help a bit to let people think differently on the issue.

Once you have an ED, you never fully recover. Always counting the calories and worrying about gaining weight. The only way to survive is to control and remember how miserable you feel while being at your lowest weight.
i used to starve myself too. Now i have an illness my stomach is paralyzed. I live on infusions and am not allowed to eat anything.My doctor says I will never be able to eat again. Only problem: i need to drink water with sugar else i woud die (Diabetis). I am overweight and i will never be thin again. I wish i had easten something when i was able to.
Stop saying those lies. Some people are more intelligent than others and have stronger will. Not everyone is you. People absolutely DO a full recovery because ED is not a disorder of someone’s appearance. Or eating habits. Its a disorder of the nervous system.
Ugh I miss this show! Red Band Society was so underrated!
Heavily underrated
I did this. I did not have an intentional eating disorder. I was a 31yo with full braces, including occlusal stops on my back molars. It was so difficult and painful to eat, that I didn't, until I no longer had any appetite. I went to my doctor, as I had lost 20lbs. I was originally 92 lbs, due to an overactive resting thyroid (finally diagnosed 10 years later). So, I freaked out, when I discovered that I was only 72 lbs. I thought the gaunt look to my face was due to it being reshaped by my braces. And my clothes never fit snugly in the first place. I asked the doctor for an appetite enhancer to kick start my stomach hormones. I was told that no such thing existed. (Ok, this was CA, where medical cannabis was perfectly legal, but whatever). I was told to drink Ensure (hated the taste). I was also threatened with a psychic hold, if I didn't agree to weigh-in every Saturday, until I put on ten pounds. (BS, because it was a legit medical reason, not a psychological one. If someone had mouth sores or stomach pain or something else, they would have helped. But apparently, pain from orthodontics is not a valid excuse to not want to eat). I had no desire to entertain their insulting threats and did their weigh-in for two Saturdays, increasing the change in my pockets each time. I addressed the issue myself with processed sugar and high fat foods. Not a great solution, but several cheesecakes and milkshakes later, I returned to my 92 lbs.
Since nobody else replied yet, I just wanted to say I’m super sorry you went through that. Nobody deserves to be in such pain! I completely understand what you were going through, and I am glad you are doing better now! ❤️
I went thru something super similar, although this was at a time when there were meds for appetite. I was misdiagnosed with many things even an ED. hope you are doing okay now! I just ended up with a feeding tube
For someone who gains weight easily like saying ABC and becomes obese (BMI), and gets threatened / scolding by the doctor that you will get Diabetes, stroke , heart attack, etc if you don't do something about your weight. I feel your pain.
I’m not dismissing anything you went through. I just want to clarify that no one has INTENTIONAL eating disorders.
As an RN who saw several true anorexic women die even though hospitalized. ( they were seriously suicidal ) I can tell you. Body dysmorphic disorder is no joke or made up diagnosis. It's real and can be life threatening due to lack of electrolytes and body chemistry disruption😮 the sufferers feel totally fat and can't accept help from many medical people, whom they see as obese. Even if they're not 😮😮

My mom worked in a pediatric psych ward and that nurse did a lot, if not all of it wrong. You never leave an anorexic alone before checking her weight. You have to always be with her, preventing her from doing the tricks you saw on the video. Gotta subtract the weight of the clothes and have to escort her to the weighing room. She can't do anything before weight check except for emptying bladder and intestines. Nurses in a psych ward know how smart these kids get when they're inside and they have to anticipate every move the kids may try to pull to fool them. Nurses must outsmart the patients or else it's very dangerous for them and they don't get better

@@jennyhaslayer1396 ? If you're correcting the fact I said her, you are right but I was addressing the video more than anything. Actually mentioning real life is what I say at the end of the comment
You never ever relay the weight or if it is up or down to the pt.
We weren’t even allowed to have water bottles. We had to ask for water and they’d provide it in cups which we had to drink at the nurses station. We were never deprived of water, but they were very mindful of the tricks we would use. Also they’d weigh us first thing in the morning so we’d never have a chance to alter the weight.
It’s interesting to me that anorexia is considered an eating disorder that requires immediate intervention, but obesity is not. They are both mental disorders that that affect physical perception and both are deadly. People seem to think that obese individuals should “just stop eating so much” or “exercise more” or “stop eat so much junk food.” Just as you cannot tell a person w anorexia to eat, you cannot tell a person with obesity to stop.
I beleive this may be due to anorexia being deadly short term and obeasity killing over many years. This is why one forces a hospital stay for imediate action and one your doctor tries to help you with at yearly exams.
I don't believe obesity is a disease it's a description, isn't it? In addition many factors go into why someone is overweight while anorexia is it's own thing. Being overweight doesn't mean you have a mental disorder (it CAN but not every obese person does whereas ever anorexic has anorexia)
Interesting. While anorexia has more acute symptoms, obesity does take a while to kill. Nevertheless, it is a disease and is categorized as such in medicine. The approach to obesity tends to be strictly medical- drugs and surgery rather than approaching from a psychological standpoint. And I’m not meaning overweight as in a body could lose 50lbs or so…I mean morbid obesity.
@@allisonhan6760anyone with an eating disorder should seek immediate treatment for it. This is a dangerous thing to say. Your weight is not the only signifier of your health, you may be at a “healthy” weight, but your disorder is still harming you. Not just physically but mentally. This is coming from someone in treatment right now. No mental or physical health issue should go untreated, it is ALWAYS best to seek treatment sooner rather than later. Please don’t give this advice to people.
I agree that eating disorders that cause weight gain aren’t treated with the same respect, but obesity itself isn’t an eating disorder. Just like being underweight isn’t. It can be caused by an eating disorder, but that doesn’t always mean an eating disorder is what’s causing it.

Eating disorders hurt so much
I first developed an ED when I was 13. I'm currently 29, and I've recently had a "relapse." Every single day is such a struggle. I hate myself so much, I hate how I look and how I feel, I hate the pressure around having to eat, and I hate that people in my personal life don't understand how hard it is. I detest feeling so helpless, like I'm lost to this, like I'm nothing. My ED stems from trauma and feeling like I have no control. Which is ridiculous because here I am with no control all over again. I'm just so tired.
I'm getting help, but that doesn't make anything any easier. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk x
I'm sorry you're going through that. Even though it might not feel like it right now, it won't be the same as when you were younger. You will have learned so much in the time since, and even though it might be hard to access right now, all the work you did is still inside you. I hope things get easier soon.
WOMP WOMP. 1st world problem of food availability. I really need to try annorexia again, I did it for a summer in my early 20s and only stopped cause I kept losing muscle. I remember when it was the rage in the early 2000s. Now the west are trying to justify obesity through “body positivity”, it’s like when this society gets more into sin like being sizes unrecorded naturally in human history horizontally, it tries to explain itself. Fun fact, less than 5 percent of obese people in America have a medical reason for it, and in Japan, there is a such a stigma that look at the how low its death rate from obesity related codiseases are. It’s mostly women who are on the body positivity front acting like people were actually discriminating against them. No they weren’t, you just want recognition cause guys don’t pay attention to you. Men don’t do that, obese men happily live their sad lives playing Roblox and keep quiet. As it should be. Americans are the biggest, not minding my own business for having 1st world self inflicted problems.
I know what you are going through. I didn't realize I had ED since I grew up not eating for days as a kid. Then as a teen I hated my aunts cooking and got it in my head that eating is a waste of time. I am now 36 lost my gallbladder, and now have thyroid issues thanks to my eating habits. Its's also so hard to lose weight and the doctors tell me to cut calories. I eat between 700-900 on my good days. On my less see how low I can go or just don't care I will eat 0-500. I am at the clinic all the time because my body now won't absorb vitamins, and put 2 and 2 together making me admit my problem. An old manager would ask me when I would come in if I ate anything today since I started to faint more and more. My husband found out on one of our trips, now he gets on my case. I struggle everyday since now all I do is gain weight with anything above 700 calories. Also my doctors keep trying to place me on diet pills, and the shot. Its tempting but the side effects are bad.
@helenviviennefletcher8474 This is my 5th relapse so you're right that all the work is there but I have to deal with the cause now which is something I've never really done, I'll get there its just really hard to get through and it's almost shameful to be going through it again, I don't like going backwards or feeling like rock bottom has a basement. Thank you for your kindness, it's really nice x
@MB-jq8kr I'm so, so sorry for your struggle. I can definitely relate to how hard it is to lose weight, especially as we get older and the set of our bodies change. I often find myself looking at teenagers and feeling resentful that I don't have their figure and then feel disgust because they're literally children, and they aren't even fully developed. I honestly believe if I saw that I weighed 20kgs that I still wouldn't think the number is low enough, but that's just another part of our problem, isn't it? I'm also very malnourished and am on several medications to help with it because I'm meeting less than 50% of my dietary requirements. I'm sorry for all the stress and pressure of people being on your back about eating all the time. It just adds more stress and makes it a task that you resent even more, no matter how well they mean. I wish there was something to fix us forever.
I hope you can eventually find some inner peace, you deserve it 🫰🏻
To evreyone who has anorexia . Please eat. I now its hard but i used to starve myself too. Now i have an illness my stomach is paralyzed.

Most hospitals treating eating disorders do tests that determine the specific weight of a person i.e. if a person drinks lots of water before (more than usually) it shows. (It's a really simple urine test)

I’m 50 and have had anorexia or bulimia throughout my life. I remember drinking Tab in the 70’s - I was under seven and had always been “on a diet to lose weight.” It’s a struggle I’ll always have but I’ve really learned how to deal with it. Learning to live with it AND not participate in all the activities is how I have accepted it. Sending strength to everyone.
Ciara was perfect for this role. She is naturally super skinny but healthy and I think they make her look skinnier than she is with CGI and stuff like that
we have to do blind weights (back towards scale)
Fr! Sometimes you can look at the keyboard when they are typing it in tho. I’m scared for my next weigh in cause I’ve been exercising and not eating breakfast. Does anyone have some tips?
Heyy! I’ve been struggling with an ed for a while now and it’s important to stop it at early stages. Exercising and not eating breakfast isn’t too bad, just make sure u are drinking TONS of water, and make sure to eat a lot of protein! Plus try to have a snack during the day or have bigger meals!
@@user-ym2dx7rm8dyes!! this is exactly what i do to get through the day, however i would have a protein bar before the gym or you will get light headed quick, also probably throw up or pass out- my rule is at least half a protein bar or a smoothie
@@user-ym2dx7rm8d ALSO ALSO THIS IS SO IMPORTANT DRINK ELECTROLYTES! Water isn't enough to be hydrated. I almost died last month from potassium deficiency, and I'm in recovery from my ED, I was just dehydrated. Eat protein, essential amino acids, and electrolytes!
Yeah also a counselor/nurse would never scream “wow!! You gained a pound!” in a room full of other people. You’re either alone with them in the room, or in a far corner of the room, step on backwards, and no words are exchanged. They just jot down the weight.

That's why you normally have bathroom supervision at least before weigh ins. It really depends on where you are and how much responsibility they give you for yourself.
Most of the time they weigh you in underwear and if they are suspicious that you are drinking a lot beforehand they do random weigh ins for example during the night/early morning.
In some cases the bathroom will be permanently locked and you are only allowed to go when someone is standing behind the open door listening to you (with suicidal ideation even watching you), you don't get water bottles for your room etc.
I feel like this approach is what pushes people to suicide. That's abuse. But that's what doctors excel at so yeah
All of this is wrong. Have dealt with EDs, my child, for over 10 years. I too am an ex nurse. Weigh ins are done in a gown and you need to sit in a chair with your back to the computer. There is no chance of seeing the scales or computer. Eating is done also in a gown in a room monitored by staff. You have 30 minutes to eat. Then you are required to sit for 1 hour. No toilet breaks or any chance to purge or hide food. If your calorie intake is not met after a week, then you are fitted with a nasal gastric feeding tube via a pump that is also code locked, to prevent tampering. This tube will remain in until calorie intake is met for a week. This show, whatever it is, needs to have maybe better research writers. Although I'm Australian so this could be different to the US

BARBZ ARE STILL SUPPORTING “DOJA” ALTHOUGH SHE DID THE QUEEN WRONG THAT’S THE ONLY REASON HER CAREER/TOUR IS DOING WELL…… 😒 ugh
I can definitely relate to this. I remember being in treatment for 5 months (recently it had been getting hard again and have found myself doing old habits) and I hated when nurses would have me stand backwards. It was mentally painful and it made me hate myself not knowing. Whenever we’d get weighed in we wouldn’t be told by nurses that we gained and that they’re happy for us, they would say things like have a good day or something to kinda make us smile in the moment but I will say I was thankful that they didn’t tell us if we gained because imagine how that would make someone with an ed feel being told they gained, it would hurt them mentally. Though I vaguely remember treatment (brain fog), I remember how I would cry afterwards or want to cry during meals and a friend I made while in treatment even I think cried once and it pained me to see that. It’s not easy going through this but I also wish that medical professionals would understand that no matter someone weighs, Ed’s aren’t about the food specifically, it’s more mental than anything and someone’s weight shouldn’t keep them from getting treatment from medical professionals, if they have an ed then they need help to get through it and beat it, regardless of the weight. I hope that at some point medical professionals and just in general that can be seen. For anyone struggling, I hope you get better because you are worth it and deserve happiness and you will overcome it! Hugs ❤
Also, in actual ED wards, you have to be naked under a gown with no socks during weigh in for this reason.
That scares me.
We were allowed a bra or singlet, underwear, and depending on who was doing the weigh in that day you might be allowed tights. And they didn't get you one at a time, you had to line up outside the room with the scale. Aside from being absolutely freezing, it also meant any other patients who were up early would see you parading around. FUN.

Lived in a group home FULL of girls with ED. My first roommate was the worst (both personality wise and mentally) something like this would be the tip of the iceberg of stuff she'd pull. We had to eat together with staff and they'd always supervise her especially cause she pulled stunts 24/7. She once decided shed eat a chunk of cheese for dinner, or at least thats what she said she did but sadly for her there was a very obvious streak from when she put the cheese in her hoodie pocket. Once the staff noticed it there was no use denying so she had to sit at that table for the rest of the night until she'd finish it. I never found out what happened to her but can confidently say the rest of the girls there left and are doing well to this day.
Recovery is possible. Hard, but possible.
I’m almost 39 and I think the years of not eating/ not eating enough have cause neurological issues. I can’t think like I used to.
We are all perfect the way we are. Please take care of yourselves. ❤
That's minny! I love her!
Ciara Bravo is a really talented actress, and it’s crazy to me that when I was watching Big Time Rush, she and I were the same age, but know she looks “all grown up”
as a hospital worker, it's very important that patients (especially children) with an eating disorder are accompanied by a staff member to ensure something like this doesn't occur. there should have been someone there to watch her "brush her teeth" and she should not be allowed to have her own personal water bottle as that can easily add some artificial weight. she should also not be allowed to wear her own personal clothing especially during a weigh in as the hospital should know the weight of their own gown and bottom, whereas her personal clothing could easily be weighed.
The girl looks so beautiful
Red Band Society was such a short lived but fantastic series. So upset that it’s not on anymore 😢
I know of somebody in this condition-- well maybe worse than hers. Its so hard to watch somebody go through this. Especially if theyre actually trying to get healthy again and get denied full healthcare and dying from it where others are just glorifying it and have no passion to get better. Just like any disease or disorder, I know it doesnt happen overnight. Idk the full story of this situation, but it made me feel like she didnt try. Hearing her talk of the future makes me even more sad if she won't change her ways, she won't see thay future.
Yeah. I am waiting to get into an inpatient eating disorder clinic at 5"6. I am 86 pounds. 90 if I eat decently. I am supposed to be 115 to 125. It's hard.
It's not their fault that they struggle to get better and they should never be shamed for struggling with their Disorder. It's a MENTAL Disorder, it effects the way they think and feel, and yes sometimes it makes them want to not get better.....because that's what this Disorder does? I don't know what everyone always has with blaming people for their mental Disorders/illness and struggling to get better, but It's really sad and makes the person suffering feel even worse.

It sucks, as happy as she was for her that poor girl wasn't happy with herself at all. I've been through a mild ED experience and we often don't want to hear that we've gained weight. That's why its better off not to tell the patient or let them see. I personally refuse to look at the weight of myself.

You very much can. You got that from a movie...remember. When you get to the point of literally seeing bones you can die. And no one should die like that
I don't judge this disease but I'll never be able to understand why anyone would ever want too make their self throw up, I hate throwing up it gives me the worst anxiety to even think about throwing up.
I think that's bulimia. What this person has is anorexia (but I'm not completely educated on this topic so I might be wrong)
@@lux---3purging is common within all types of eating disorders
bulimia - eating an excessive amount of food then getting rid of it via purging or exercising
anorexia - restricting food intake
binge eating disorder - eating a large amount of food in a short period of time which is often followed by guilt and self loathing
Eating disorders aren’t a choice btw
this movie is kinda unrealistic because in ACTUAL weigh ins they ask you to take off all of your clothes and they even check if you hide something inside your bra
That's not always a standard practice by any means. No one ever checked anything like that when it came to weighing me. I went to numerous treatment facilities and saw different doctors, nutritionists etc and no one ever checked if I was hiding anything, etc.

Realistically they would not show her her weight or tell her she has gained… I know not every place is the same but as someone who went to two different treatment centers for anorexia, they never tell you your weight. And they also make you weigh in a hospital gown or t shirt, no pants/sweatshirts/bras/etc
I worked in a facility and we did tell them their weight unless they didn't want to know

The horrifying part of anorexia is once your body’s gone through all possible storage of fats and energy it will try pulling from every organ before your body can’t even supply to the brain properly and can cause permanent brain damage as a last resort to maintain survival. Her talking about going to a Yale summer camp is so tragic considering she’s doesn’t know the full extent of what prolonged starvation will do to her mind.
Not how that works. They get weighed in a hospital gown and they don't tell them how much they weigh or gained.

As someone who was in an Eating disorder ward, belly scans of the bladder were taken before the weigh in to check that there was no fluid and everyone had to have a pee with the nurse in the bathroom. Everyone was in gowns with only undies on. And NO ONE was allowed to know their weight, u could ask but everyone said no.
I hate that they stopped airing this show it was so good
I'd just like people to know in MOST places that are for recovering from an ED they will watch your every move IF they tell you it's time for a weight check. Some places just do them randomly to avoid these problems. But in most situations like the one in the clip that nurse wouldn't have left the room or even turned her back after telling her it's time and after she did she would've gotten a MUCH harsher talk from her boss
I also have Anorexia and I can relate to her a lot...

This is a hard watch, I know it's just a TV show, but it hits home. My eldest daughter almost died from Anorexia in 2019. We took her to the
Dr 3 times with concerns about her weight loss, always being cold, awful circulation, headaches, stomach pains, dizziness, tiredness, plus many other things no 13 year old should be going through. We were told 3 times it was just growth spurts and hormones kicking in, which we were NOT satisfied with. It wasn't until I insisted she saw a different Dr that she was admitted to the local children's ward immediately. She was so weak that her heart was working so hard, she could have dropped from a heart attack at any second. She was put on strict bed rest and had to be wheeled in a chair everywhere, even down to the bathroom. I was staying at the hospital with her night and day while also going home to be there for my other 2 children before school and after school and to put them to bed. I felt awful as my Husband was working away, which meant my Mother in Law had to stay with my other 2 while I was at the hospital. I was going home to cook meals to take to the hospital for my eldest so she would eat, as well as cook for my other two and get them to bed. I am thankful I was able to be there for each of her check ups and weigh ins. They would never weigh a patient with an ED in front of other people though, that would be terrible to do to someone struggling with their self perception. 5 years on she is doing so much better, but the Anorexia and other things that she has going on, will be there for the rest of her life. Don't think I will ever get to a point where I won't worry if there's a slight change in the way she is eating or what she is choosing to eat, it will always be there.
How is over there bc my mom want to take me to one bc like im not eating nothing
@@nahomyreyes1731 I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. What do you want to know?
@@mikaylashuttleworth3882Sounds like you are an incredible mother. My mom (and my dad too) has always been there for me and my twin sister through our physical and mental health struggles (not ED related) and people don’t understand how strong parents like you are! I know I am a very lucky person in that regard and I hope that your daughter knows it, too.
That happened to me too at the same age and same year …
@@Froggele thank you, that was such a lovely comment to read. 😊
Damn I'm so early that no one commenting the movie name yet
Red band society
Red Band Society was such a good show
This was such a great show. I was sad when it was cancelled. 😢
She's new in ward i think all nurses and doctor developed a war face when they gained experience.
where can i watch
Disney plus I'm pretty sure x
@@wouldyoucareforabonbom what's this show called
That first nurse was tactless, zero experience with EDs, said loads of triggering stuff to the girl.
She's a superhero, super power dosen't need food to be alive.
I remember the nurse in violet was in the movie "the help"
