I hope you all are well. You deserve to have a full life.

[@ghale94]

I am a guy seeking inpatient help. thank you for this video. when you answered the weight restoration question it brought tears to my eyes because hearing her say that her brain could finally function again and she can think clearly and she had energy....that is my dream. I have just felt so hopeless and many days would rather give up. thank you for the hope.

[@irenedavo3768]

How are you now?

[@sofiamartinez9797]

I'm going to impatient for the first time soon and I'm super nervous. I don't want to leave my theatre program or dance behind and I don't want to have to drop out of school or get too far behind. Any way, thanks for making this!

[@rempanda]

good luck! I wish you all the best. Try to fully embrace and enjoy the good moments, and don't feel guilty if you struggle with certain things or relapse in any way

[@gretayoung2256]

i don't know if anyone will see this but I'm currently relapsing and i feel like i need inpatient. I haven't lost that much weight tho. It just sucks because i want to get better but I'm not bad enough to get better. :(

[@kaelynnmercier628]

greta young same... I hope you are better now ❤️

[@TropicOfGemini]

greta young virtually everyone with an ED feels like they’re “not sick enough” for treatment. ED’s are mental illnesses, not physical illnesses ya know? ANY amount of restricting food, binging, purging, over exercising, diet pills/laxatives, or any other ED behavior means YOU ARE SICK ENOUGH FOR TREATMENT. i hope you got the help you need :)

[@Ava-hu4gc]

I know this is late but I am in the same boat rn and you ARE bad enough to get help if it bothers you and you’re noticing it. Which you are because you commented this. You may not even have to go to full inpatient, but just more therapy.

[@selflove-vs-selfhate]

@greta young and everyone here - how are you guys doing? I hope everyone is happy and healthy.

[@Whisper88888888]

I'm terrified of inpatient treatment. The first time I was forced to go when I was very young and it was horrendously traumatic and is mainly what has stopped me from getting help now that I'm older. Now I'm at that point where I'm really wanting to recover' going willfully to inpatient is something that I promised myself I'd never do. Now I'm just at a loss..... I don't know what to do :'(

[@Taureanfitness]

[@Rebeccachazzy]

I'm about to do inpatient and I really needed this video. I'm afraid of losing my current job since I have to take so much time off and when you said its hard to take a break from life that is so true

I’m going to residential next week and I’m so scared, but this made me feel better. Thank you.

[@carpertomscratchcards]

my parents dont evan know what im goign through mentally and phisically they just say stop attention seeking but i know that im not and would sometimes like themto be supportive of who i am and know what im goign through so makes it worse for me

[@lamya1513]

thats answered a lot of my questions, thanks xx

[@LydiasFight]

so happy to hear that :)

[@creature_skin]

Outpatient treatment was hellish for me and didn't help me at all. IP sounds like a living nightmare, there is nothing that terrifies me more. Uuuuurghhhhhhhhhhh.

[@janellephoenix4378]

I also went for a month and then signed myself out in a hurry. They only focused on food and body image but not anything deeper than that. If you have serious trauma, CPTSD, or other mental health issues you aren't going to get any help for those core problems. Those are issues I struggle with primarily and my ED is on the side. (So to speak.) I felt that I got what I could out of the experience but I need help for the rest. So treatment at the facility was superficial help in my opinion nothing more than that.

[@ashleytuttle9724]

I'm not sure when I'm going none of my family knows I don't eat soooo...

[@ellamaeturknett4863]

@Casey Strauss i only eat lunch,sometimes nothing, or once i start eating i cant stop

[@squeakymcsqueakerson6500]

I'm going to my first residential treatment center in a few weeks and this video was super helpful, thank you!

[@meganfitz8369]

I have 5 days until my next outpatient session to show any progress with my weight or ill get sent to a residential. Teaching myself how to eat again is terrifying and so incredibly hard, but i so desperately dont want to go to inpatient. Im scared im not thin enough to go...but all ive been doing is dropping and dropping.

[@waldmann7777]

Thanks for giving me hope❤️

[@ameliaxgarland]

What if you have many food intolerances? I can't eat suger, starch, or milk.

[@maevecostello710]

I am about to go into residential treatment, it's not the same as inpatient since it'll be in a house for 30-45 days, but I am watching what I can to prepare

[@happyland10123]

I don't know how to talk or ask about me going into an inpatient facility (something i truly know i need) to my doctor, nutritionist, and my therapist. Its just really hard. And aslo they might not agree with me.

[@happyland10123]

I know that its something i NEED in order to get better, or else i am just going to get worse and worse

[@olivias2560]

I was in an inpatient medical hospital a few weeks ago for low vital signs. I was in outpatient for a few weeks but there deciding to send me to a mental facility so I can weight restored and then a residential home. I can’t go to school for the rest of the year so do you have to have assignments sent to me. Does anyone have any advice on getting school work done and being recovery focused, and dealing with being away from friends?

[@ele1bubu]

Lydia you talk about weight restoration and I have some questions about that! I have been eating enough for the past 2 months i think and ive gained like 2 kilos and im trying to gain more! Lately ive been making a progress and i have to say that your videos helped me the most in the last one month (ive been incorporating fear foods into my diet and foods i really love , like milk and cereal before bed,yum!) So with the weight i am now i still feel tired a lot of the time and sleepy and i still have a bad temper sometimes.Does that mean Im not weight restored? How will I know that my body is weight restored? I just wanna feel more energetic and happy and not be so dull sometimes. I have also lost my period and its been more than 9 months since my last one. Can you talk more about weight restoration and give us information about that? I believe that it would motivate a lot of people struggling with an eating disorder! Thank you

[@LydiasFight]

Hey! I can definitely make a video about it, obviously I'm not a dietician or professional but I can talk about my experience/tips/what to expect etc. It's difficult to know if you're weight restored or not just from what you've said, I would definitely recommend talking to your doctor or another medical professional if you can to get their input. Since you haven't gotten your period back and still feel tired and sluggish it sounds like you may not be, but i'm not in a place to decide that or not. I'm so proud of you for how hard you've been working, though! that's really amazing, I'm here cheering for you!!

[@ele1bubu]

Thank you so much Lydia. Although I've watched a lot of videos on eating disorders your channel has helped me the most! Please make a video on weight restoration I would be really interested on that!

[@judypsa1336]

I could NEVER do this. So, I guess the key word is want. Been anamia for 50 of my 60 yrs. No one - & I mean NO ONE - can force me to eat breakfast or any 'treat' at any time. Unimaginable! Good luck to you all though.

[@dumbmusorowan]

is it bad that I kind of want to go to some sort of residential centre? not so much for my eating problems (they're pretty mild) but more to just have a break from life? to reset? I've been on edge since last year, I attempted suicide multiple times and I'm still struggling. I just want to stop self harming, stop wanting to die and stop hating myself. but my counsellor thinks I'm getting better but I really don't feel like I am. sorry for the rant, can anyone relate?

[@carolynh8510]

I understand, I was in a psychiatric hospital for a week after I tried to overdose last September. It was helpful in that it gave me a break from life and I started taking medicine for my depression and anxiety. If you need a break, it might help you.

[@isobelpalk5642]

It isn’t bad at all, you should ask for more help 💕

[@bella-mccord]

i have been muliple inpatient places, and only one allowed exercise and it was ONLY allowed with a group. it was a 20 minute walk and if you dropped even .01 pounds, you lost the privilege. Just wanted to say this as not every place allows exercise :) also unfortunately, it looks like i'm going back inpatient again soon...

[@jinran113]

Lydia, why I found it is so hard to concentrate. I am preparing an exam and I can't focus. what can I do?

[@rempanda]

If you've been restricting, you're finding it hard to concentrate because your brain is nutrient starved. You need to be getting enough calories and vitamins etc for your brain to fully function. I have the same issue with studying. I hope the exam went/goes well

[@ingestrauss3826]

I'm first year in college. Is it hard to stay up to date with school while inpatient?

[@raydoescode]

Yup I had to drop out

[@fangirl3]

How much does it cost to go to a treatment place/inpatient?

[@weethetniet9427]

I believe that (in some countries) your insurance pays a big part of it (depending on which insurance you have)

[@notyourbusiness7239]

If I'm already at "normal weight" will I still need to be weight restored? If they feed me a lot will I end up getting overweight ? I go to the first appointment/treatment (idk which I am doing because my mother won't tell me) tomorrow and I'm scared that if I go to treatment I'll end up being overweight and the thought makes me sob. I'm fat but I've made myself go down to a normal weight for my bmi so idk what's gonna happen if they make me eat.

[@laurenwood2702]

Alexia Figueroa you'll have to be nutrient restored which may or may not mean weight gain. If you have vitamin deficiencies or dehydration, you'll have to get those back up to speed. Best of luck, dear!

[@mannarshbali4223]

Heyyy!!! Myself Mannarsh. I recently started watching your videos on KZbin. Your videos were amazing and they helped me a lot to understand what basically eating disorder is. I really need your help. My best friend recently came to know that she is suffering from this. She hasn't told anyone else except me, so I am trying my best to help her but as u said in your video I can only support her I can't be her therapist. So today she said let's ignore it and I am fine and I know she is not. I am so confused about what to do now. I really need your help. I will be waiting for your reply.

[@jul62187]

which 2 places have you been?

[@tinkertulip3553]

BUT I AM VEGAN. I’ve been vegan for 8 months. I am NOT eating eggs, meat, cheese, or fish. It’s not because of my eating disorder, it’s becuase of ethical reasons. I am going to get my diagnosis at 12:30 today Andy I’m freaking out. So I’m looking at videos.

[@diedielullaby6298]

My nutritionist assumed I wanted to go vegan because of the Ed I don't have in the first place and it pissed me off so much tbh. Like I find it really offensive that anytime I have a negative opinion about food they turn it around on me. Like no, I'm just a human being with opinions.

[@MusikGirl23]

I was vegetarian, and was forced at my home hospital program which is horrible and the ONLY one in my province to eat meat, even VEAL. But when I got funding to go out of province to a centre in the neighbouring province which was residential, I was allowed to be vegetarian, I’ve been vegetarian since 2011 and have no plans to change. If I was absolutely told I’d die if I didn’t add something, I would add small amounts of fish, but NEVER something like red meat.

[@nataliem6660]

im going there soon and if you already went can you tell me about it?

[@lexaprohoe1305]

@@Elle-zu8fi yes i can!! it was my hardest treatment yet, but it’s really been worth it i think. when you get there, you’re gonna be assessed by nurses & whatnot & you’re assigned a psychiatrist, dietician, & therapist. i think all of the doctors there are pretty great. there are different phases & i think it goes all the way up to phase 4. everyone starts off on phase one but get off it as soon as possible. phase 1’s don’t really get any group therapy & it’s pretty shitty. but once you phase up, you get more groups, more movie time, outside time etc. there’s 3 meals & 3 snacks a day (with dessert every day at dinner) if you don’t complete you are required to drink boost. if you don’t complete the boost, it follows you to your next meal/snack. they tube people really fast so if you have too much following & you can’t keep up with it, you’re tubed. with covid, there’s no visiting so all i got were 15 min phone calls every night & 20 min video chats on the weekend. but as you level up you’re able to get more time. i stayed for 3 months in inpatient/residential and 1 month in php but that’s only because my insurance cut. your time length just depends on your condition. there’s soooo much more so if you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
