I have an eating disorder and haven't had anything to eat in 3 days. How long until I end up in the hospital because I really don't want to. How long until something goes wrong or I pass out?
While I can’t tell you how long it’ll take for you to end up in the hospital or pass out I can tell you this.Not eating in three days could warrant a hospital admission, because it can really mess up your electrolytes and reintroducing nutrition can further mess with them(read up on refeeding syndrome). If you truly haven’t had anything to eat or any caloric drink, you should see a Dr. ASAP, or at least call the on call one at your dr office. I ended up in a hospital because I was eating under 100 calories for a few days, and it messed up my electrolytes so bad I was sent into a hospital, but still came close to death.I can tell you first hand that anorexia is a dangerous disorder, and it has almost taken my life many times. If you’re like me you’re probably not really living at this point, just surviving.Treatment CAN help. I urge you to seek it, no matter your weight. Any center that deals with eating disorders professionally knows that eating disorders aren’t confined to people of specific sizes.I wish you the best, and hope you manage to beat this horrible disorder, because it’s truly not a great way to live your life <3.
Will I end up in hospital for not eating?
I've not been well all day, and I've had nothing to eat at all. My nana has tried making me eat but the thought of food knocks me sick. Could this cause me to go to hospital as I'm pale, hot, dizzy, sick, faint and my lips are turning purple/blue. I've drank water but not as much as I need and I'm genuinely so scared. I've never felt so ill in my life apart from when I've had seizures.
Pros and cons of an eating disorder?
I have an eating disorder and want to stop, so I'm going to do this. Don't say that there are no pros, because there are. I'm mostly talking about anorexia, bulimia, and EDNOS. Thank you so much!
How long can you not eat before you end up in the hospital?
it depends on how much body fat you have, what you drink, how much you exercise, and what your diet is like right now. if you just dont eat any solid foods but you still drink a lot of water, juice, milk, smoothies, and nutritious stuff, you will be fine for a while. you will probably end up in the hospital if you pass out, so basically you can just not eat until you feel very weak and then eat a little and you will be fine. it will probably take a few weeks for that to happen as long as you are drinking plenty.
If some one is bulimic how long before they end up in the hospital?
Heck YES, they can die! They need HeLp fast!! To me, nothing but NOTHING is worth trying to "pretend" I'm (or my body) is _any_ way it's "truly" not!! If I'm 15 lbs overweight, or my hair falls out sooner than I'd rather it would, or it turns from blond to grey sooner than I'd like -- SO WHAT?!! I'm still ME, Chuck. And if that's not good enough for you, I'll just pick up my tinker toys and go home where at least *I* love me. I don't need this competition crud, since it proves nothing. All competition does is feed the ego!! And if yours is hungry, a therapist is needed. Besides.... I'm already smelling an "Inferiority Complex" or teenager or a woman under 35 yo. I just wish people would stop referring to bulimia as a "disease" unless a person wants to consider a self invoked line of 'thinking' as a "mental disease".
Former student of mine sick in hospital.. need advice???
I think that you want to visit him. Since this is your gut feeling, you will have to trust your gut. However, I would consider it an invasion of privacy if someone started asking around about me and my personal relationships. This guy might have a problem, and if he does, he needs a friend he can trust, someone who will really listen and not repeat. So, if I were you, I would take the guy a plain-coloured gift bag full of junk food. On the bag, in bold, i would write SURVIVAL KIT with happy faces. I would have balloons on it and I would laugh softly and lightly when I handed it to him so that he would understand it as your way of trying to lighten a tense situation. You do not need to bring up the subject. You only need to let him know you understand and care. Humour can break down many barriers. Actions speak louder than words. You are not a policeman, you are a teacher. You were taught how to listen and how to give people the opportunity to speak. Good luck !
