You’re special, but not THAT special…
But I’m special! Yes, you are special. Very special. But I’m telling you now, you are not the exception to all things eating disorder recovery-related. I used to think, and still occasionally do think, that the rules when it came to recovery somehow just didn’t apply to me. They applied to every other human being […]
MoreAnorexia and rabies… (hear me out)
Pre-warning: right, this post is something a little bit different and I’m going to need you to just hear me out on this one. The concept of it came to me during one of my frequent sleepless nights, so it might be a bit rough around the edges but I hope you get the picture. […]

7:50 I am woken for meds. I forgot to put my usual alarm on. 8:15 For breakfast I decide to have coco pops. This is a massive deal. I have been too scared to have them and it is the first time ever I’ve actually had a bowl of them. I have them warm and […]

The Inpatient Diaries: Day 14
5:45 I am woken up and weighed. I see the number and I’m shocked at the rate at which I’m gaining. It makes me scared but also happy because it means I’ll be out of here sooner. Speaking of, I’m already scared for my CPA on Wednesday. (A CPA is like the CTM on Mondays, […]

7:30 I shower and get dressed. 8:15 Breakfast time. I (self-serve) a double bowl of shreddies (meal plan increase yay) and 2 slices of toast, one with butter and jam and the other with peanut butter. I get told off because I have only used half of the butter packet. I have only used half […]

Hot shreddies (cereal rotation day as Tuesday), grapefruit juice then one toast with PB and another with choccy spread.

MoreThe Inpatient Diaries: Day 7
Sidenote: I don’t want to go into too much detail about specific patients and nurses in the day-to-day diaries because I’ve recently become aware that some people are reading them! PS. Hi Bronnie 😉 05:45 I am woken and weighed. I know I won’t fall asleep again after this so I shower and wash my […]

The Inpatient Diaries: Day 4
5:30 I am woken up to be weighed. I groan and the nurse laughs at me. I have to go to the toilet with the nurse standing at the door to make sure I’m not water-loading. I’m weighed. I go back to bed but don’t fall asleep again. 8:23 Breakfast. I really push the boat […]
