Question : anything about inpatient treatment in hsptl for eating disorder?
I’m pretty sure I will soon be emitted to the hospital for inpatient treatment for anorexia, before I can actually get into a treatment center out of town somewhere. I’m really scared to go, I don’t know anything about it and I picture it like it Jail…

Will I be held there against my will? and for how long? do they FORCE me to eat? do I have to lay in bed all day long and all night, I heard that I might be watched on video survaliance?? If you have ever been in an inpatient treatment CENTER, and, OR amited to the hsptl for longer then the day, (for an eating dosorder) please tell me everything you know about it!
thank you so much -Jenn-

Answer by no name please
im currently struggling with anorexia. and this is what my therapist told me what it would be like:force feed you and if you throw up they will just feed you again;if needed watched 24/7;not even allowed to go to the bathroom alone because you might start exercising. it just depends on what hospital or inpatient program you go through, but whatever one you go to yes they will force you to eat. good luck! hope this helps! :)
