Eating Disorder Treatment.?
Question by m00moo: Eating disorder treatment.?
well tonight i had like a panic attack or something, i really don’t know. i like fell on the ground and like hyperventilated, i was like shaking it was so weird. i was with like a whole group of people, then all of a sudden i couldn’t breathe good, my stomach hurt and my lungs. My body feels like ****. my diagnosis is bulimia but i restrict daily.
i’ve lost like 7 pounds but gained it back, because i binge and purge too. like i don;t even know what it is. bulimia,anorexia? or even an eating disorder at all. i’ve been purging a lot lately, and my body feels like ****. my stomach hurts and i feel bloated. all i think about is food, not eating it or purging whenever i binge. its on my mind 24/7 my parents don’t realize how serious it is. so it makes me think it’s not serious. I can’t concentrate in school, i get trembles and i can just feel my body breaking down, but i can’t stop. my friend suggests i go to renfrew to go stay there for a little while – residential treatment.
im 5’0, 14 years, and 90lbss.
i’m not anorexic skinny so i don’t know if i should go there, or even think about it. i mean i guess theres no help for me because this nutritionist and therapy isnt helping, its honestly making things worst and wasting my dads money.
i eat 300-500 calories a day.
should i go away? like to residential renfrew treatment.

Are you seeing a counselor or any sort of doctor? I would seek help from a doctor before considering residential treatment. If you really do feel it’s out of control of you and your doctors, however, I would definitely seek residential treatment. If your eating disorder is controlling your life, it’s time to take some type of action. I’ve been in and out of residential treatment twice, once for 12 months and the second for 7 months. I went to the Center for Change in Orem, Utah. I’ve heard mixed reviews about Renfrew and I know a lot of girls and women who relapsed after and then were referred to the Center for Change. If you want to hear reviews on pretty much ALL residential programs out there, check out the Facebook group “Eating Disorder Treatment – Rate It”
Good luck to you.
