I use to be anorexic and was frequently in and out of treatment and hospitals (many times needing a NG tube like in the video) It wasn’t till I had a cardiac arrest and coded that I realized I didn’t really want to be a statistic and die from anorexia I have now been in recovery for 6 years now; certainly not easy especially since I now have many health issues however every day living free from anorexia is far better than any second spent living in that prison

I thought refeeding had to be done gradually or risk refeeding syndrome. Many Anorexic people cannot withstand it emotionally. That happened to Eugenia Cooney, who lost weight with a vengeance after treatment.

@cursedreverie 6 ай бұрын

Actual refeeding is done gradually. From what I can tell by what little the video shows, this was an emergency situation that they needed to get her numbers (like blood sugar) back up. Also, it's a tv show where they do take shortcuts, so to speak. In residential treatment (places like Timberline Knolls where Demi Lovato stayed), the patients have to be relatively stable to go there. While there are a good number of doctors (MDs, PhDs and Psy-Ds) in such facilities, aren't hospitals. I hope that explains it some.

It does. In very severe cases of anorexia, they'll initially increase your calories by as little as 15 a day because even when the patient CAN mentally/emotionally deal with recovery, if weight and calories have been very low for a very long time, the shock to the body of suddenly increasing calories by a lot can be fatal.

Apparently, that meant she had ZERO desire to eat, at all, she was completely absent of appetite, but it wasn't because of psychological reasons. She'd say her body was in an "anorexic state." She had a medical team working with her on it. I knew her through a job, not school, and don't remember her name, so I can't find out what happened with her.

I didn't need the tube and was able to work on recovery. I'm 44 years old had had dealt with an eating disorder off and on for about 30 years now.

Hospitals can put suicidal and homicidal patients (those that express active ideation of harm) on involuntary holds because that is an immediate threat to the patient's/others safety and the hospital is liable if harm occurs because of their inaction. Hospitals cannot hold patients who refuse to follow a care plan, even if the refusal will inevitably lead to their death. For example, if you have a type 2 diabetic pt who says they're not going to take insulin/control their blood sugar, you can educate them and give them lots of resources, but you can't hold them or control what they're going to do once they leave, even if it's going to cause them harm/death. Tldr: immediacy of harm and pt autonomy

IT's much like how you can treat an overdose when they arrive in the ER, but if the patient doesn't want to go to rehab, doesn't want counselling and tells you they're going to go out and score more drugs immediately on release, what are you going to do, lock them up indefinitely? It's the same. You can hold someone who is acutely ill to prevent them dying, but if they aren't interested in treatment, what is the point of holding them longer? Even leaving the law/constitutional rights aside, if you don't have a meaningful plan regarding how you would change their mind, you're just spending a lot of resources delaying what's going to happen anyway.

You know when I overeat and need to lose weight, my parents didn’t make it all about how a bad diet would make me look. They focused on teaching me about how overeating could lead to diabetes, heart problems, high cholesterol, and other hazardous body dysfunctions. They made it all about my health. Not my looks and maybe that’s why I was never Anorexic or Bulimic. Because my parents had me thinking about my health. I think maybe that’s a more positive way to get your kids to eat better. Don’t try to get your kids to diet by telling them if they don’t eat right they’ll get ugly and don’t criticize them either. Kindly, lovingly, but firmly, explain to them the importance of eating right for the good of their health. If someone only thinks about if they’re healthy instead of how skinny they can look, they won’t over eat or starve themselves. Because neither one is healthy and they’ll want to do what is healthy.

I recall eating my 3rd order of lasagna while orhers suggested i was anorexic. i pointed out that i was out eating them times 3. i said one might suggest bolemia if they thought i was purging (i wasnt) but that suggesting anorexia was ridiculous.

yeah it always sounds weird. for the first time I thought his name was Charles and everyone just called him by his first name. there are hypothetically people with 4 first names. first name, middle name last name also a first name and a second last name. probably sounds super weird. for example im just gonna say a random collection of names like: Amy Maria Vincent Felica. that could be 1 real name. somehow

Random aside here. I've always thought "Smith" sounds like a first name. Like "Hi, I'm Smith Johnson!" And then I read a book where the character's father actually had it as a first name! So apparently I'm not the only one. Also, given the actor's real last name (I say this with affection for him) sounds like an onomatopoeia, he probably wouldn't take offense. "Platt."

Weird that they didn't hire someone who was actually significantly underweight. The actress is very slim, and they did what they could with makeup, but she's obviously not at a BMI of 11. Mine is 16.8 and I'm smaller than her.

I'd imagine there aren't very many emaciated actresses out there, and even if there were it's probably not very ethical to hire them to play someone with severe anorexia further triggering them.

When people CHOOSE to stop starving themselves because they feel sorry for themselves

@d_a9404 6 ай бұрын

Please educate yourself. Eating disorders are very similar to addictions where brain chemistry can be altered. It is so much deeper than feeling sorry for oneself. Choose kindness..

@@d_a9404 I'm highly educated, it has nothing to do with kindness, when a person CHOOSES self destructive behaviors like starving themselves they are seeking out attention because they feel sorry for themselves because life hasn't been fair to them, 99% of all anorexia cases start out because the person was ridiculed about their weight, they then CHOOSE to starve themselves so they look pretty but no one forces them to do it

@d_a9404 6 ай бұрын

Kind of silly to start off by saying “I’m highly educated” then continue making uneducated comments . “They are seeking attention because life hasn’t been fair to them, 99% of cases start out because…..” curious where this statistic was published ?? All I’m saying is choose kindness because regardless of why someone has an eating disorder, (according to you it’s a choice) it doesn’t mean they deserve our help and compassion. Eating disorders are highly linked to traumatic experience and often people have co-morbid disorders. Such as living with Borderline which is a self destructive disorder that can coexist with eating disorders. In this scenario, it’s not a choice. It’s a dysfunction. No I don’t have the percentage, but I am a PhD student in clinical psychology. Have a good day!
