I know the possibiliity of a tube is absolutely terrifying and starting to eat only slightly less terrifying but at this point something has to happen to keep you alive. And at least in hospital you could come with a plan to try eating with appropriate supervision to avoid the dangers of refeeding syndrome.
Sorry if that's too blunt in no way trying to minimise the trauma of all of this but very much want you to stay alive.
Not too blunt, dw.
Apparently a dietician was already consulted but he said no more about that, so i guess nothing came of it before. I'll probably end up here until Monday tbh when all the consultants are back in
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
could L or another friend come and try to ask what is going on on your behalf? assuming you don't want your mother involved or would suggest that.
you almost died. (edit to add: again) if you aren't able to eat enough on your own while there, yes, you will possibly get a tube again so that you know, you don't die.
very much empathise with how difficult and scary it must be, especially when it was so awful before. but if it does happen it will be because it is necessary to keep you alive.

Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
I asked the nurse if i could self discharge. The dr is gonna come and see me apparently. Hopefully soon.
My blood results are pretty much fine now
I just can't go through it again

Please try and stay and don't discharge yourself. You were lucky someone was there to call an ambulance this time you might not be lucky next time, which means you could legit die. And there will be a next time if nothing changes.
EDIT to add: Especially because you vomited and passed out both on Thursday and on Friday this week.
your bloods are better because you are getting medical treatment.
you need to stay.
honestly if you try to self discharge really hope they actually section you. because if you legit think this is fine then you cannot make the argument you have capacity. not even sorry if that is horrible but also unsure how to word that more politely.

I feel like it's highly likely they will attempt to stop you from leaving if they are in any way sensible. Psych has already been mentioned so sectioning if you try to leave seems likely.
You might not get as much warning next time. Remember what ed psych said electrolytes can be fine and then at dangerous levels an hour later.
they're giving you treatment because you still need it. because it takes time to correct things and for them to stay correct. which also requires eating.
being scared is totally valid. but it's not a reason to try to leave. it's more reason to stay and get the help you desperately need.

I saw the dr
She explained stuff. I don't think sectioning is an option but she said sodium is still low so we'll see what bloods say tomorrow. I told her about my fears and she said it's unlikely I'll get an ng tube this weekend. Idk why she had to say only the weekend and not just in general. I guess we'll have to see what weekday people say.
I hate hospitals

Yeah I'll stay until Monday, if they want me too
If my bloods are ok tomorrow then they will review things, but the dieticians/consultants aren't in until Monday. Highly inconvenient.
Doesn't help that my cc is off all next week. What great timing....

Apparently my levels are still low. Coming up, but still low
Idk if they're lying so i stay here
I'm trying to hear the handover about me but they said everyone else in a normal voice and I'm not interested in that, but whispered mine
I know i shouldn't have been listening but sometimes they don't tell you things
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
they definitely are not lying. it makes sense that your levels would still be low. know it is really hard for you to grasp how bad things are and how serious this is. it is really scary stuff. but you're definitely the one under-reacting to the situation.
is there a friend or L or anyone who can try to talk to them for you and act as a liaison of sorts? you do have a right to know what's happening.
also think of it this way - they're usually v quick to get folks home and out of hospital asap. the goal is to get you well enough to not need to be there. and to do so quickly to be able to help someone else. so they have no reason to lie simply to keep you there. which then leaves the unfortunate truth of, you are sick enough to need to be there still and need treatment.
