Recently came out of inpatient treatment for anorexia and my community team are saying that I still can’t go to school at my current bmi.

I have been to school at an even lower weight than I am currently now so I’m confused about this

Can they legally stop me from attending school?

Do I have any rights?

I have to be able to go back in September . I’m already academically 3 years behind so it’s not possible to take a year out.

I’m not sure if this is necessary but I’m 18f and the bmi is >!14!< - medically stable except anemia and low wbc

I’m taking my GCSEs next May as a 19 y/o as I didn’t attend school for a while due to medical stuff

I’m going to aim for the grades

Bio- 7 ,
chem- 7 ,
English- 7
Maths- 5
Art- 7
(These will hopefully be my minimum grades)

And as I’m 19 can I go straight into access to higher education animal management course?

I won’t be able to do traditional a-level as my school’s maximum age is 19.

I’m determined to becoming a veterinary surgeon however I’m worried that this access course won’t be enough for vet-med.

As for work experience I only have 1 week at vet clinic , I do plan to get more just need to medically stabilise a bit more

I am 18 and my z score was -2.8 for my spine (+ osteopenia in my neck and my leg I think)

My mum says I shouldn’t even bend over because it’s risky but I still do everything normal and do jog for about 30-45 mins a day

I really want to play tennis and do long runs and weight training.

No one has really explained to me if it’s serious or not and I wasn’t really bothered until yesterday when my mum said i shouldn’t bend over

I’ve just started spotting since not having any period since October 2024 and I’m very confused because technically I’m still underweight

My bmi is about >!16!< maybe a tiny less or more idk. I have restored >!11kg!< since my lowest weight in inpatient so this is probably why I’ve got it back I’m assuming

I’m not planning on gaining anymore weight any time soon so I guess it’s good that it’s back.

I do eat a lot of peanut butter (1tbs) a day at day hospital (type of ed treatment)

Does this mean my osteoporosis will get better ? I have it in my spine and neck so I’d want that to improve

I’m 18 btw , maybe this helps on how it came back so quickly

I hate my life I was forced into inpatient and have gained >!10kg!< and it’s traumatised me so much

Now I’m in daycare and I’m planning on leaving next week to recover at home but I genuinely don’t get any support at home

My mum will knowingly have me not eat all day and she doesn’t give at shit

I use to be skinny at bmi >!11.9 - 12.0!< but now I’m fat she doesn’t care about me anymore

I hate how I was forced to inpatient and I feel fucking worse.

Im embarrassed about going to daycare because im 18 and i get 0 help from my parents and theres people in their 30s there who get support from their parents for decades now.

Just acknowledging that my mum doesn’t care about me makes me want to starve to death even more

I just feel so worthless and I want to die and as my mum doesn’t give a shit that I don’t eat it reinforces the idea that I don’t need to because I’m fat now

I know I need to be more independent because I’m 18 but I didn’t even WANT to gain weight. I was forced into inpatient. And if I lose weight again they said they’re going to send me back to the ward.
