I’m struggling to understand the point of mental health “services”, at least UK NHS. You ask for help and it’s practically impossible to get. By the time they do anything, you’re so unwell that what is offered is woefully inadequate. You try being honest, in the hopes that it will help, you end up incarcerated and treated like an animal. You are then told you are “too sick” for help, that it will come when you are discharged. You are discharged and there is no help.

Why is it like this? I wish I had never entered this system. It has only made my mental and physical health worse. I honestly would rather be dead, but I am scared that if I try to do something it will go wrong and I will end up incarcerated again 🫥

ps also exposing someone to what they fear is just torturing them. The fear IS real because the consequences DO happen (food —> weight gain).

For those who have ever been under eating disorder services, have you ever found them helpful? What was helpful?

Genuine question.

I’m just feeling a bit disillusioned by my experiences and I’m wondering if anyone has had better experiences than me.

Me: I feel extreme discomfort in my body. Too much flesh. It feels wrong, distressing.

Psychiatrist: can we explore the real feeling behind that?

Me: ok so you’re doing the “fat is not a feeling” line.

Thanks 🤦🏻‍♀️

Bro, I just experience being fucking fat/bodily discomfort, that’s all. It’s not some misplaced emotion

Anyone else?
