u/dingtrip

i’ve only had my nose stud in for two months and i know i’m meant to wait longer to change to a hoop but it’s CONSTANTLY getting caught on everything and pulled out of my nose would changing to a hoop really be much worse? i feel like it would honestly get caught less and when it does get caught on stuff at least it’s not fully coming out?
is this just a bad idea though…

i recently reached out to my gp for help with my eating disorder and have since been assessed and am beginning treatment, i’ve been put on an eight week admittance avoidal program before my actual treatment and everything is just happening so fast i’m completely overwhelmed constantly and burning out already, it’s all i can think about constantly and i already can’t take it which isn’t ideal at all given that i have an eight week program starting tuesday and then at least twenty weeks of treatment after, my mental health has plummeted greatly since i started attending appointments and i’m slipping into bad old habits to try and cope with all the stress, i really don’t know what to do, im having insane mood swings that im struggling to deal with.
i have to attend 3 appointments a week for the eight week program and i also have a job as well as other commitments, a boyfriend and a social life to upkeep, im burning out already and its only just beginning.
im also on a refeeding meal plan and im constantly so confused by it and this whole new set of food rules that honestly feel just as bad as my own, im constantly confused and overwhelmed by my meal plan and in constant fear that im doing it wrong, i think about food and my eating disorder way more now than i did before seeking treatment and im worried this is all wrong for me, im in such a bad mood all the time now.

i dont even really know what im looking for with this post, maybe wondering if anyone can relate or has advice or insight? wondering maybe if anyone experienced this as well?

seeking help in UK with NHS

hi, i have been contemplating a lot recently if i should seek help from my GP regarding my anorexia recently as it’s getting very severe, my weight is now lower than ever and very concerning and i just cannot make myself eat, it’s starting to negatively impact all aspects of my life, i feel v unwell and weak and fatigued most the time but i am so scared to seek help, ive tried upping my intake a few times but i just can’t do it, ive cut back on exercise but only because i do not have the energy any more,i was wondering if anyone who has seeked help with the NHS could answer a few questions i have?

can they section me/ force me to recover? (i am 25 years old so not a minor)
i don’t think im mentally ready for full recovery but am more looking to do harm reduction and work up to recovery currently, would also just like to get like a check up to make sure everything is okay, my last attempt at recovery just made my ed so much worse so im rly scared to try again.

what should i expect from my appointment?
i know it’s gonna be blood tests and an ECG but what else is there to it, is it like talking about it or is that more for if they refer me to a specialist?

is there like a “best” type of treatment?
inpatient seems rly intense and like it could get really competitive, i also don’t rly have time cause i have to work, whats outpatient like what does that even entail?

i’m just scared, i can’t keep living like this but my brain keeps making excuses and coming up with reasons i can’t go to the doctors yet like i need to lose more weight or wait until i have a medical emergency or until someone gives me an intervention or smth
