this happened to me earlier this year i was admitted to a psychiatric unit for the 3rd time & they told me “we can’t help you with your ED, we’re here to make sure you don’t harm yourself” and they even said they wouldn’t stop me from p.urging either (which i didn’t bc i was going through psychosis) it was a horrible experience for me and i never want to go back there while struggling with a mental illness with the highest mortality rate!
also i constantly brought them a tray full of food three times a day as well as hoarded food in my room that i never left because i was so frightened by the men in the unit who kept touching and sexualizing my sick body…
I can definitely relate to basically everything you say. my inpatient experiences were pretty much the same: unprofessional nurses, and that glamorizing... missing it. Which is stupid because it was always horrible. But it was “escaping” the real world for sure. But yeah, most of the healing really happens at home. Stay strong angel x
i hope you are doing well now!! hospital can feel like an escape but it doesn’t stay that way forever💖 we have the opportunity to live such a wonderful life outside of those hospital walls🌈
You honestly are amazing Porsche ❤️ I’m sorry that you’re experience wasn’t the best, but from that I can see how much you’ve grown as a person and just how strong YOU are. Not your disorder. Sharing your experience, for me, reassured me of a few things that I didn’t think others experienced, so thank you. Keep up the amazing work, bumps included. Love you lots and I know that so many people will agree when I say you really are an amazing, wonderful and kind person. ❤️❤️
awh i love you girl!! you are actually the biggest sweetheart🥰 i appreciate your support so much & am so grateful for our friendship!! i will always be here to support you sweet x
I was able to see my weight at an eating disorder unit, it was an adult hospital (even tho I’m 16) and they didn’t care for mental health at all, they specifically said it’s not important in the refeeding process so they wouldn’t care if you saw your weight or not, only some nurses realised how detremiental it could be and for girls who weren’t able to see their weights without breaking down would write it in their notes, loved the video btw xx
Actually in Germany at least it’s common to know your weight when in inpatient. Sometimes they even force you to look at the scale.. Also you said so true things at the end, oh my god you spoke my thoughts about romanizing inpatient.. It’s also a really good video and I’m sorry you had to go through this.. Love you, stay strong 💪🏻❤️
thank you!!❤️ and wow that sounds like it could be traumatising at times? but i guess it is also good to get desensitised to the scales!! how are going? wishing you the best xx
In France, when I was in hospital I got to decide if I wanted to know my weight or not !! So sorry for your terrible inpatient treatment, I relate to a lot but that place you are describing seems to be so horrible, like how can that be « legal » for a mental hospital to do those things, I can’t even understand how it can be still going on like this…
How was the treatment you received in France? I’m from the U.S. but my family is French and planning on moving back to France soon. I had to be hospitalized a few months ago for treatment & I’m doing much better now but there’s always that risk that I’ll relapse and have to be admitted again.
My nurses were hopeless and clueless ; they had to consult a chart for the "correct" weight for my height ! Weighed naked each morning by a skeletally skinny nurse,, wasn't "allowed" to even do crosswords because "you might burn calories" !!
Unfortunately a mental health unit in a hospital doesn’t help you like you truly needed. If you ever need to be hospitalized again I beg you to find a specialized eating disorder mental health unit or hospital. You deserve a true place to heal.

Oh my god.. this is insane!! I cant believe this type of treatment is still happening in this day

In Australia, the staff treat you like a criminal
Thank you. That's all I can manage to say. Wait...I validate, hear and understand. Thank you.
My nurses were hopeless and clueless ; they had to consult a chart for the "correct" weight for my height ! Weighed naked each morning by a skeletally skinny nurse,, wasn't "allowed" to even do crosswords because "you might burn calories" !!
I’m so....UM....glad....UM....you shared your story. UM...you are so strong.
Awh thank you!!

wow, they should not have treated you that way as professionals in the mental health field. I'm so sorry that happened to you.
The quotes are unbelievable.. wow.. thats horrible
