As most of you know Cacoethes (Beckie) has been really struggling with her ED recently. She has updated me this evening and consented to me updating you all.
She has been taken to hospital by ambulance.
I know she is struggling very much with taking how ill she is seriously and thought I would make this thread as a place we can all leave her encouragement, love and support and I or her can post updates on her health.
We are all rooting for you Beckie and want you to get well soon xxx

Reason: Will message you
I'm so sorry to hear this but I'm glad they're looking after you Cacoethes, please let them. I hope this emergency helps you see how much you need help. If you or lr could keep us updated that would be great. Sending love.
Hope the dietitian is helpful Beckie/not scary. Leaving love and hugs if wanted.

It's absolutely not been a vibe.
I tried to refuse treatment yesterday but the drs said i would probably die in as little as a few hours if i went home. Which seems very dramatic tbh and I'm still not sure how true that was.
Still on a drip.
Also have a bright yellow vitamin drip.
But due to the drips, i am a bit more 'with it' this morning.
Idk what would have happened if one of the pharmacy ladies didn't call me back as i was leaving, because i looked unwell. And she took me into the back with the pharmacist and insisted on calling an ambulance.
I am mentally fried.
Hoping to go home today once medically stable.
I have stuff to do
And i feel bad for being here Because this is all self inflicted
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Thank you.
I have to see dietician/nutritionist today.
And have regular sugar and ketone checks.
Also have to see psych liason
Then see what happens.
I am feeling a lot more awake now
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
I've just seen psych liason. I have to stay until at least Monday, possibly for the whole week, and not allowed to leave or I'll be sectioned.
I have a meal plan from the dietician and if i don't follow it, they will consider a tube.
I have cried so much.
Someone from the psych team will see me every day over the weekend.
I absolutely cannot deal with this
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
That is lot to come to terms with. Honestly though I am relieved you are somewhere safe and they are finally helping you. Will they be supporting you with mealtimes?
Also regarding what the psych said about BMI - I feel like maybe the message wasn't 'you have an X BMI', it was more 'BMI is absolutely irrelevant here', which is a message I endorse. If that helps at all.
'It's an impossible choice ... I'll just have to hope that when I flip the coin it somehow explodes and kills me.'

Don't have many words but have read and can see how hard it all must be for you right now. Hope psych liaison give you appropriate support to deal with psychological side of trying the meal plan. Sending hugs if you would like them
