-- Posted by Anonymous at 6:23 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Well my therapist told me that if I don't get some control over my eating disorder that she would have to put me in an eating disorder clinic. I'm 15! I can't miss school I mean how long do they keep you in those clinics? I'm in highschool so I can't miss. -- Posted by SCGirl09 at 6:24 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 eat. -- Posted by MystiqueBeauty16 at 6:24 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 I just got out of the psych ward in the hospital for five days because my Mom thought I suffered from depression. It was pure hell. But if you really have an eating disorder, you do need help. -- Posted by Luvme4eva at 6:24 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 School's important but shouldn't you be worried about getting better? -- Posted by blufindr at 6:25 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Uh, yea, you can. They have tutors and teachers there. -- Posted by Seani at 6:25 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 As long as it takes for you to get back to normal. -- Posted by CheyBear at 6:25 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 If you have an eating disorder, you need help and it would be in your best interest. I'm assuming they keep you in until you reach a goal weight and seem to be generally recovering. At inpatient hospitals, they have school classes there so you wouldn't really be missing any work. -- Posted by Jman19 at 6:26 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 I was in the hospital for nearly five months. That was a bit different though, but yeah, as long as it takes for you to get you back to normal or at least to some sort of routine. -- Posted by DopeSickGirl at 6:26 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 i have to go to rehab tomm. they keep you for atleast 30 days. try and get out of it. -- Posted by isobel at 6:31 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 If you really need help, school should be the last thing on your mind. -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 11:46 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 They usually keep in contact with your school and give you the work whilst your there. Its kinda sucky really, your supposed to be focusing on getting better not school work.
