Eating Disorder Inpatient Daily Living Rules

[@neeklore]

as a person with HELLA restless leg syndrome, that leg shaking rule would RUIN me

[@dm-audioswaps9945]

Annick Lisha I’d say they would make medical exceptions. You are physically incapable of holding your leg still.

[@MusikGirl23]

I was inpatient at the same place and had awful restless leg syndrome. I was always afraid a night nurse would walk in on me shaking and covered in ice packs. Lol.

[@carpertomscratchcards]

and me

[@laughing5752]

I’m a chronic leg shaker but I also play the drums and have ADHD I would start air drumming at the table so I’d probably be in a strait jacket or something

[@karenbaird7402]

If you don’t shake your leg when you have Charlie horse it hurts you It’s due a deficiency in sodium and patacium

[@prettyplanted4316]

While I was listening to this I started to realize that it was exactly the same as the info where I went, then I saw the schedule and realized we went to the same place, kind of crazy (I also had a really bad experience)

[@BellaSophie]

Sorry you had a bad experience too. That place needs to make some big changes.

[@Kaiefae]

The energy of that “LEG SHAKING RULE” i felt it hardcore. Also community group is the best group.

[@yilingpatriarch4223]

I really do love these types of videos because they're so informative but I get to learn about the daily lives of other people.

[@catherinekennedy8693]

Most people don’t tend to notice my ED behaviours

[@chxlsxasmilx]

Me neither people comment “ I don’t know how you don’t eat breakfast or anything and only eat in the evening” I just go I’m used to it and no one seems to question it from there. My mum might be catching on though which ain’t good at all.

[@laughing5752]

Fucking hell, this hits hard

[@jeannestein9312]

The place I was in was absolutely barbaric ; treated like a criminal, daily room searches (where would we get things from ??), on bed rest, not even allowed to do a crossword puzzle because "it might burn calories" (eye roll).

[@Angel-eq3tq]

I think I would get really claustrophobic being an inpatient

[@ekbrandon93]

Oh man, I was in a mental health hospital when I was a teenager and yes, I felt so claustrophobic and just trapped! One of the worst parts.

[@Beril_.]

I recovered from anorexia without medical treatment and if I went to somewhere like this I would’ve killed myself seriously sounds like a claustrophobic nightmare.

[@maaikeen123]

Hi. I haven't watched the entire video yet, but I stumbled over your "I'm manic" ... and just wanted to send you my best as another bipolar. And now I'll keep watching. Looking forward!

[@ALinn-vr3nl]

Also, I really liked your video when you were 18, on this topic, about the eating rules at in-patient. I thought you were creative, fun, quirky, and really artistic in how you did the video. I think you're being hard on yourself and should be very proud of it! Great job!

[@luuvis1276]

I’m going to inpatient next week for the 4x :(( not looking forward to it so I’m just watching these kinds of videos to prepare

[@MaddieFishblob]

Whoa Tbh the dress code at the literal eating disorder clinic sounds more relaxed than that of my high school 😂😭 We had to completely cover our knees and shoulders, no clothes with words or pics on them, no blue jeans/tshirts/yoga pants. Honestly it was a miracle that we found things to wear every day 🤦‍♀️

[@owennied8039]

I’m on a waiting list for inpatient and I appreciate your honesty and transparency, I know that’s completely not easy! I finally feel ready to peruse recovery

[@M1lo207]

i love these because i’m going into treatment soon and it gets me a little of what to expect

[@AndyEmerald]

Eyerolling as bullying behavior? WHAT?! lol I do that all the time just thinking and stuff.

[@stephanieb5004]

oh no you said TIB's and diary cards and I knew exactly where you went

[@jaqfree6808]

Aaww, your dog is cute and I think it's really nice that pets can visit. Btw I love your channel very much 💜💜

[@BellaSophie]

Thank you so much!

[@cutiegirls6972]

I love my ed I dont want to recover but im being forced to

[@DApsych]

Abt the shower restrictions, wdym ‘therapeutic reasons’ ??

[@j0eybrit]

There are a lot of kids who will use the shower for self harm. The “restrictions” would most likely be like supervision or limiting you to 1 shower a day.

[@sweetluvgurl]

I’ve had manic times, too, and it is hard to control. I’m pretty sure I have BPD, which I’m working on things in therapy with getting diagnosed with different things. Also, I was wondering if I even potentially have bipolar, as well. I’m not really sure. I guess it’s something I’ll continue to explore in therapy. I’m honestly enjoying watching your mental health journey. I know how difficult it is to share that type of stuff.

[@minni_usofine]

Mania isn't a symptom of BPD. Do you mean bipolar disorder?

[@SarahSmith-dx5kk]

You should do a video of your favorite memories!

[@BellaSophie]

i most definitely will!!

Thank you so much for making these informative videos. Stay strong 💪🏻❤️. I know you talked in another video about PHP you did. I did PHP too and every single week for two months they kept “recommending” (even though they ended up pretty much booting my out) residential. These programs are so hard and I give you so much credit for talking about it. I love your channel. Thanks again!

[@melanierose7687]

Watched this today....so many feels (good and very bad!). It brought it all back like it was yesterday, but it also seems like a lifetime ago... 💕

Did you have a lights out time? Like a time when everyone had to sleep? Or was it age related so you can stay up later than others?

[@briannabolling5130]

i had lights out at 9:45

[@katherinegoddard6672]

I can’t get any help because my BMI is too high!

[@ALinn-vr3nl]

Thank you for the vids. I'm looking for some details about mechanical eating guidelines, if you can help me out. I have never been in-patient, but have worked with eating disorder detitians (ED RDs and have been in ED support groups for years. 1. I have a meal plan and eating schedule. When working with my ED RD, I never asked or heard an answer to "How late can I start eating the meal or snack after the specified time?" I've heard you say in in-patient people get 35 min. for a meal + 5 min. extra if needed, otherwise it's "Incomplete." I'm wondering, for at-home outpatient, if, say, my lunch time is noon, how much later than noon can I start the meal, please? Do they give a guideline for mechanical eating at home, such as "You must start lunch at noon (or other specified time) - 12:15. Then you have 35 minutes to finish it." Or do they say, "You have to start by noon, and finish by 12:35"? I set my alarms for 15 min. before the meal and snack times, to prep, and an hour before dinner. But then I slack, turn off the alarms without even realizing or remembering that, and then start eating hours, or half a day, later. Any info on this, please? I just can't imagine being so organized as to sit down at every meal and snack and start eating exactly on time. For even one of the meals per day, let alone six. Thanks again for your helpful and amusing/creative videos.

[@tonyaboggs5367]

You seem really fun and smart. I get watching yourself could make you cringe cuz I think of myself and I watch videos of myself and it makes me cringe so I get it but you're so fun and interesting and smart so don't cringe because we're not cringing

[@Alex-or1sj]

I always tapped my leg, even before the development of an eating disorder so idk what I would do there😅

[@MusikGirl23]

I think with any time at the residential setting, it really will depend on how motivated people are to recovery. I was fortunately with a very good group of folks. However one friend had a miserable experience when she was there. Also the cork strips are now bigger! I found that my discharge planning was wonderful but I know it really depends on who you got, and your community. My team was already assembled at home so it wasn’t a big thing for me...I was on assessment for two weeks due to coming in on a Monday.

[@kstadlerova]

such an interesting video, thank you for sharing this stuff. i have recently been diagnosed with an ED, i am also apparently severely malnourished and at risk for many things. i am walking that hospitalized/not hospitalized line right now, and it´s a huge (and pretty much only) motivation to recover, or at least, for now, gain some weight and up my intake, to "show progress". i´ve been upping slowly, it´s really fucking hard and no weight gain yet. i´m terrified of being hospitalized tho, i am still holding out hope.

[@sarahdruckman3924]

Hey Sophie! I’m interested in your take on recovery best practices during self-isolation. Thanks for the great content and for being so vulnerable. ❤️

[@BellaSophie]

Hi there! I'd love to answer this in a whole video because that's such an important topic right now. Thanks for the comment and for the question, I'm going to get on this asap :) xoxo

[@lucate1824]

I was in inpatient once but it was only for 4 days. My mom was sick and I was extremely depressed. It wasn't the right time for me. Now i'm wondering if i should go back. I am slipping again and falling down into an ED hole. I want to maybe go back but idk how to talk about it and i'm scared of being judged and attacked for leaving.

[@clarissestanford]

go back before things go bad, good luck and keep well😊

[@shaya9745]

Hun, you are beautiful. And by manic do you mean bipolar? You don’t have to say if you are uncomfortable, but one of my best friends has bipolar and I was wondering how different are manic and depressive episodes in different people. Like she just becomes so reckless and has a I don’t care attitude about literally everything, but you wouldn’t think much of it unless you already know her. And depressive episodes are just really hard to watch, she becomes so... there isn’t really a word for it but it’s like you can literally see it in her eyes how tired and flat she is. I was just wondering if (if you meant bipolar) your episodes were the same? If not sorry that you wasted your time reading this :)

[@puritymua1763]

Shaya Moeini hi, I have bipolar for me my manic episodes usually are like my adhd is on steroids. I’m heavily excitable and hyper to the point where it often seems fake or forced. That or I become so fixated on needing to change something about myself or my life because I feel out of control, it often includes dying my hair, rearranging my room, and other things. My depressive episodes can range from just causing me to sleep to having to be hospitalized. If you have any questions I’ve dealt with many mental issues since I was a child and would be happy to answer them, I hope my experiences have help you understand a bit more

I don’t think I have an eating disorder but what is this, or is this just me -I do not like meat, if I have meat, I just won’t beable to swallow the meat -I will take forever to eat, I will take up to 1:30 hours to eat. Definitely won’t finish the food in 35mins -if something doesn’t look right, i will not eat it. Say my banana is Bruised, I won’t eat it -I don’t have much food at meal times. -never ask for seconds, unless it’s pizza or chips (unhealthy dinners) -always leaves stuff on my plate -don’t eat a lot fresh food bc I’m scared that it will be spoiled -I am under weight for my age
