Have to go into the hospital. - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

I don't know when I'll be back. My husband said I have to be checked at the clinic here and if they say I need help I have to go into the hospital. I don't want to and I don't think I need to go but he isn't backing down. I've never been in one and Im scared to death of what it's going to be like. Whats going to happen to me in there?

Annie,

don't be scared. From what I understand they will put you on an IV drip and just watch over you to make sure you eat. You will also get counseling while you are in there.

This really is not a bad thing other than you will have to fight the ED demon while being constantly watched and you will have to force yourself to eat.

You will be getting good treatment. Good Luck on your recovery. Cat
