I guess I wanted some support and a chance to speak to anyone who has done something similar. I'm going to be in a hospital so does anyone know what I should take with me? Wish me luck. They said I'll for there for at least a couple of months

Replies Colleen35 Posted at 2:18 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Good luck.  Like Mystique Beauty said, you'll probably only be able to bring clothes with you.  If you do try to bring music, don't try a CD player, because CDs are considered sharp, and most places don't allow sharp objects.   Try not to be scared; everyone there will want to help you, it's why they're doing it.  Be open with folk; it'll make your experience and theirs better, as well as help you to recover faster. katbabes Posted at 8:52 am on Dec. 30, 2008 GOOD LUCK HUN! :) sadnessness Posted at 8:43 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Good luck! One of my old school friends was taken into an anorexia clinic and she's fully recovered now. I wish you all the best MystiqueBeauty16 Posted at 8:38 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Really, good luck. You need to get better. I was put as an inpatient in the psych ward for four days because my Mom thought I was suicidal. To be honest, I could barely take it four days, let alone a couple months. But a psych ward and an anorexia treatment center are probably different. What they'll most likely do is monitor your behavior very closely, your interactions with others, and make you eat in front of them. You probably also won't be able to go to the bathroom directly after so they can see you hold down your food. If you're going for a couple months, I think you are allowed to bring your own clothes, but at times you will have to wear gowns and other materials they give you. I'm not sure if you're allowed an iPod or music of any form, but you could try to bring that. You can't bring anything that can be used to kill yourself with, so don't bring anything sharp or they will confiscate it. You're not allowed to bring your cellphone, so I wouldn't think about that. I hope everything works out for you, and please, for your sake, get better. diana456 Posted at 8:34 am on Dec. 30, 2008 HAVE A GOOD LUCK CHARME WHITH YOU akSamiRae Posted at 8:33 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Good luck!!!!!!!!
