As you can tell by the subject line, I am anorexic. I’m currently about 4lbs away from malnourishment and for those into BMIs, mine is 15.9. I’m currently seeing my primary care doctor weekly and today when I went in, I had lost another 2 lb. She told me that if I don’t start gaining weight, that she will have me hospitalized. I thought that my weight would have to drop a lot lower before she could do that.
I really don’t want to go into the hospital but if I have lost anymore weight by my appointment next week, I’m afraid that is what she will do. She also is going to talk to my pdoc so I’m sure that I will hear the same message from him next week.Can she really have me admitted at this point? I assuming that if she does admit me that my family will be notified which also really bothers me.
I’d appreciate input from anyone.
