New optimistic nurse in the mental health field vs the experienced one

[@andresandrade3312]

Well I'd change the "new" for a "I was, and wanna keep being everyone's friend, nurse " Because a new optimistic can do the basics of her job , instead of the want to be everyone's friend.

Remember the nurse from Cool Kids Don't Cry. The scene where Akkie (MC) and some of the other kids poured salt in her coffee end you could see how her expression conveyed happiness over how her patients at the children's cancer ward could still enjoy being kids.

I actually suffer from this and it’s terrifying how all of a sudden you get to a point that your lying about your weight and doing all this sneaky stuff just so ppl worry less about you only for them to worry more and in turn make you do even more “cover up”. I always thought I was fine, but I’ve seen pictures. It’s still very easy to fall into old habits but I constantly have checks in place so I do eat and get enough nutrients. My rock bottom was when I was dating a junkie cuz I didn’t want anyone worrying about me, and he ended up leaving me cuz he was scared he would wake up one day, see me dead from malnourishment, and proceed to OD cuz of a broken heart. He was healthy to point and he was always so worried about making sure I was good and fed. He died a year or so ago and I’m just here trying to hold on to this life I was given.

Don’t you dare give up & let the worst parts of life take you down. You didn’t come here to only know and carry suffering, yours or anybody else’s. You came here to learn what an incredible powerhouse of a human being you are. Fk shame & all that comes with it. Fk whoever made you feel unseen and convinced you that you have no power in your life. You have to see the healing that comes from loving yourself as hard as you can. The confidence & resilience you will hold when you look back and realize how much of what you struggle with was never a fault in you. You just have to experience it 🩵 Look for some root cause trauma therapy exercises or modules / videos online. I swear it helped me so much and so fast.

When she said she needed to go, I saw that she hadn't swallowed the yoghurt, and it was all still in her mouth (It was a super super small yoghurt, so it isn't hard to fit it in your mouth) and she was nog going on the toilet, she was going to spit it out in the sink. I told the nurse sitting next to us and he just straight up didn't believe me and let her go. Another guy who overheard it, told me I was a bad friend. I was so mad.

I had bulimia for 2 years on and off during high school. I wasn't entirely sure if I was depressed at some point but I know I used to be really insecure, had low self esteem, too-naive-toxic-first-relationship issues, and personal problems at home too, topped with not being academically inclined either. I was 14-17 years old and just like most people, it was the worse phase of learning to navigate through my thoughts and emotions. I suddenly became bulimic from all my stress and anxieties and I had no adult or family member I felt safe being vulnerable with. Expressing myself felt embarrassing and though I wasn't an outcast in school, there were still people who were evidently mean. I dropped from 54kg to 47kg within 2 months without excercise at all. I remember eating brunch and the rest I would eat in a day would end up being self induced vomitted. After a long time of doing that, my throat started drying and hurting a bit and it came to a point where my chest or breast area would suddenly feel weird. My grandmother was the first to notice my weight change when I visited my home province. I only fully recovered from bulimia when I was 19 and I have all my original weight back now. I just hope people would stop romanticizing or making memes about ED because it's a whole different story when you're romanticizing/laughing about it versus when you're actually having it. ED is always accompanied with mental health issues and it's always easier to tell someone to stop doing it than when you're actually in the same shoes. Whenever I think of my younger self, as an adult it makes me want to hold her tight and tell her it's going to be okay.

[@dumplingcutie3838]

To add on what I was stating, it's doesn't matter ha How long you have an Ed it's and ED! People with Ed's think about food and /or of fat gain EVERY DAY almost 24/7 so even for 2 years that is fuc*ing insane!

Also don't invalidate her past you weren't her back then, instead just see her as "lucky" to end it quicker (even though 2 years is a long time with an Ann ed).

[@orangefruit12]

​@@6Haunted-Days I started being bulimic when I was 14 years old until 17. It was on and off. Which means if I were to approximately combine the days I self induced committed it was almost equivalent to 730 days or 2 years. Like I said, my throat and chest started hurting at some point which is why there were times I stopped doing it. Being bulimic is done intentionally so I stopped doing it many times intentionally too, to spare my throat which I needed for speaking and drinking water. It was highschool and I still participated in school activities, to clear that up. Bulimia cases are not the same for everyone. Some are actively bulimic (on a daily basis) and some are not. There are also cases where a person feels better for a few months and then go back to being bulimic months after. Which is what happened to me. It's a matter of self esteem and insecurities during one's highschool years.

I did this. I did not have an intentional eating disorder. I was a 31yo with full braces, including occlusal stops on my back molars. It was so difficult and painful to eat, that I didn't, until I no longer had any appetite. I went to my doctor, as I had lost 20lbs. I was originally 92 lbs, due to an overactive resting thyroid (finally diagnosed 10 years later). So, I freaked out, when I discovered that I was only 72 lbs. I thought the gaunt look to my face was due to it being reshaped by my braces. And my clothes never fit snugly in the first place. I asked the doctor for an appetite enhancer to kick start my stomach hormones. I was told that no such thing existed. (Ok, this was CA, where medical cannabis was perfectly legal, but whatever). I was told to drink Ensure (hated the taste). I was also threatened with a psychic hold, if I didn't agree to weigh-in every Saturday, until I put on ten pounds. (BS, because it was a legit medical reason, not a psychological one. If someone had mouth sores or stomach pain or something else, they would have helped. But apparently, pain from orthodontics is not a valid excuse to not want to eat). I had no desire to entertain their insulting threats and did their weigh-in for two Saturdays, increasing the change in my pockets each time. I addressed the issue myself with processed sugar and high fat foods. Not a great solution, but several cheesecakes and milkshakes later, I returned to my 92 lbs.

I had a couple of teachers at my school when i was younger accuse me of not being fed enough by my mother that one teacher in particular called CPS on my mother and tried to say she was a bad mother which wasn't the case at all because i ate but my teachers are just nosy and rude. Like as if my mother didn't feed me pfft I can't help I was born like this so I feel you. I've literally always weighed like 95 pounds consistently. I think I gained maybe 1 or maybe 2 more pounds when I was in middle school cuz I was even skinnier in elementary but had like a 1/2 pound change but that's it and ever since then I never grew again. It's always been 95. I could eat KFC and fried donuts and nothing or healthy selection of coconut and oranges and still nothing changes. As long as you're in good health and taking care of yourself properly and eating a good balance of all the food groups with some junk sometimes then you'll be fine. Who cares what others think about our weights as long as we're fine with them. I've learned to just accept that I will forever be a stick and that's ok just call me twiggy from here on out. 😂 Stay healthy and whatever weight you're at is fine as long as you are eating and trying maybe drink those protein weight gain drinks/protein powder or something, I tried that when I was younger and it sorta helped, barely. 🤗

It’s interesting to me that anorexia is considered an eating disorder that requires immediate intervention, but obesity is not. They are both mental disorders that that affect physical perception and both are deadly. People seem to think that obese individuals should “just stop eating so much” or “exercise more” or “stop eat so much junk food.” Just as you cannot tell a person w anorexia to eat, you cannot tell a person with obesity to stop.

[@taylorobowa4129]

I beleive this may be due to anorexia being deadly short term and obeasity killing over many years. This is why one forces a hospital stay for imediate action and one your doctor tries to help you with at yearly exams.

[@cottoncandiez8872]

I don't believe obesity is a disease it's a description, isn't it? In addition many factors go into why someone is overweight while anorexia is it's own thing. Being overweight doesn't mean you have a mental disorder (it CAN but not every obese person does whereas ever anorexic has anorexia)

[@renee16us]

Interesting. While anorexia has more acute symptoms, obesity does take a while to kill. Nevertheless, it is a disease and is categorized as such in medicine. The approach to obesity tends to be strictly medical- drugs and surgery rather than approaching from a psychological standpoint. And I’m not meaning overweight as in a body could lose 50lbs or so…I mean morbid obesity.

As someone who has been through ED rehab, this series really bothered me with its inaccuracies lol. The patient usually doesn't get to see their weight, the staff doesn't comment like "yay! you gained!" and weights are taken in gowns and underwear only, first thing in the morning. I also cringe at her discharge scene when the therapist says, "You thought if you ate something bad, you WERE bad!" Food does not have moral value, an ED therapist would NEVER say you ate something "bad". Also the unsupervised meal times. That being said, I actually still really enjoyed the stores lol

[@Kyrry55]

I first developed an ED when I was 13. I'm currently 29, and I've recently had a "relapse." Every single day is such a struggle. I hate myself so much, I hate how I look and how I feel, I hate the pressure around having to eat, and I hate that people in my personal life don't understand how hard it is. I detest feeling so helpless, like I'm lost to this, like I'm nothing. My ED stems from trauma and feeling like I have no control. Which is ridiculous because here I am with no control all over again. I'm just so tired. I'm getting help, but that doesn't make anything any easier. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk x

I know what you are going through. I didn't realize I had ED since I grew up not eating for days as a kid. Then as a teen I hated my aunts cooking and got it in my head that eating is a waste of time. I am now 36 lost my gallbladder, and now have thyroid issues thanks to my eating habits. Its's also so hard to lose weight and the doctors tell me to cut calories. I eat between 700-900 on my good days. On my less see how low I can go or just don't care I will eat 0-500. I am at the clinic all the time because my body now won't absorb vitamins, and put 2 and 2 together making me admit my problem. An old manager would ask me when I would come in if I ate anything today since I started to faint more and more. My husband found out on one of our trips, now he gets on my case. I struggle everyday since now all I do is gain weight with anything above 700 calories. Also my doctors keep trying to place me on diet pills, and the shot. Its tempting but the side effects are bad.

[@Kyrry55]

@helenviviennefletcher8474 This is my 5th relapse so you're right that all the work is there but I have to deal with the cause now which is something I've never really done, I'll get there its just really hard to get through and it's almost shameful to be going through it again, I don't like going backwards or feeling like rock bottom has a basement.

[@Kyrry55]

@MB-jq8kr I'm so, so sorry for your struggle. I can definitely relate to how hard it is to lose weight, especially as we get older and the set of our bodies change. I often find myself looking at teenagers and feeling resentful that I don't have their figure and then feel disgust because they're literally children, and they aren't even fully developed. I honestly believe if I saw that I weighed 20kgs that I still wouldn't think the number is low enough, but that's just another part of our problem, isn't it? I'm also very malnourished and am on several medications to help with it because I'm meeting less than 50% of my dietary requirements. I'm sorry for all the stress and pressure of people being on your back about eating all the time. It just adds more stress and makes it a task that you resent even more, no matter how well they mean. I wish there was something to fix us forever. I hope you can eventually find some inner peace, you deserve it 🫰🏻

[@mentallyillgenz3508]

That's why you normally have bathroom supervision at least before weigh ins. It really depends on where you are and how much responsibility they give you for yourself. Most of the time they weigh you in underwear and if they are suspicious that you are drinking a lot beforehand they do random weigh ins for example during the night/early morning. In some cases the bathroom will be permanently locked and you are only allowed to go when someone is standing behind the open door listening to you (with suicidal ideation even watching you), you don't get water bottles for your room etc.

[@theanahoss2600]

[@lianapalumbo8457]

All of this is wrong. Have dealt with EDs, my child, for over 10 years. I too am an ex nurse. Weigh ins are done in a gown and you need to sit in a chair with your back to the computer. There is no chance of seeing the scales or computer. Eating is done also in a gown in a room monitored by staff. You have 30 minutes to eat. Then you are required to sit for 1 hour. No toilet breaks or any chance to purge or hide food. If your calorie intake is not met after a week, then you are fitted with a nasal gastric feeding tube via a pump that is also code locked, to prevent tampering. This tube will remain in until calorie intake is met for a week. This show, whatever it is, needs to have maybe better research writers. Although I'm Australian so this could be different to the US Btw my child is a healthy eater now but i still have strict guidelines implimented now, even though they are in their 20s

I can definitely relate to this. I remember being in treatment for 5 months (recently it had been getting hard again and have found myself doing old habits) and I hated when nurses would have me stand backwards. It was mentally painful and it made me hate myself not knowing. Whenever we’d get weighed in we wouldn’t be told by nurses that we gained and that they’re happy for us, they would say things like have a good day or something to kinda make us smile in the moment but I will say I was thankful that they didn’t tell us if we gained because imagine how that would make someone with an ed feel being told they gained, it would hurt them mentally. Though I vaguely remember treatment (brain fog), I remember how I would cry afterwards or want to cry during meals and a friend I made while in treatment even I think cried once and it pained me to see that. It’s not easy going through this but I also wish that medical professionals would understand that no matter someone weighs, Ed’s aren’t about the food specifically, it’s more mental than anything and someone’s weight shouldn’t keep them from getting treatment from medical professionals, if they have an ed then they need help to get through it and beat it, regardless of the weight. I hope that at some point medical professionals and just in general that can be seen. For anyone struggling, I hope you get better because you are worth it and deserve happiness and you will overcome it! Hugs ❤

as a hospital worker, it's very important that patients (especially children) with an eating disorder are accompanied by a staff member to ensure something like this doesn't occur. there should have been someone there to watch her "brush her teeth" and she should not be allowed to have her own personal water bottle as that can easily add some artificial weight. she should also not be allowed to wear her own personal clothing especially during a weigh in as the hospital should know the weight of their own gown and bottom, whereas her personal clothing could easily be weighed.

She once decided shed eat a chunk of cheese for dinner, or at least thats what she said she did but sadly for her there was a very obvious streak from when she put the cheese in her hoodie pocket. Once the staff noticed it there was no use denying so she had to sit at that table for the rest of the night until she'd finish it.

I am 36 and 5’5 and i got down to 88 lbs. I didn’t actually start to get somewhat normal from the highs and lows till a few years ago. I would struggle with even water and even turned to drugs to curb my appetite if I thought I was starting to feel hungry till I didn’t really ever crave food anymore. I literally hated food. I still struggle sometimes and start to check my self and not want to eat because I don’t feel my bones… then I think of all the health issues I had, the amount it cost to fix my teeth, my heart that is still impacted, how my friends and family watched me like I was a enigma for still being alive. I wore clothes too big in layers because I was always cold or didn’t want people looking too closely because they would know I wasn’t fine. Anorexia was a big part but it started with bulimia. All through middle school and high school I made myself throw up. If you see the signs in someone you love don’t listen to the “I’m fine I am just naturally thin” at some point no one is naturally that thin without something seriously wrong. Please do something. Had my sister not finally saw how bad off I had gotten nobody would have known. When she came in to town and saw how bad I had gotten in 2021 I probably wouldn’t be alive today. I hated her for calling me out but now I am thankful and even tho the struggle will probably always be there. I’m determined to never let this happen again. Now I am watching my oldest daughters battle with the exact same thing and when you see it from a different perspective it changes everything. Love to all of you who understand and to all who are willing to help another survive! It truly is an illness in your head but with help you can over come it. ❤
