Answers:
I understand EXACTLY how you are feeling right now!. Im 16yrs old, and in the process of recovering!. I never actually went into inpatient, but im pretty close!. However, this is what i can tell you about it;

You will be with lots of other girls (and maybe boys) who are going through the same thing!. As long as you are not refusing to eat, you will probably eat 3 meals a day and snacks!. The point of these treatment centers is to teach the patient how to eat healthily again and develop a better reationship with food!. But of course, anorexia is NOT JUST about food!. There are deeper issues that must be resolved!. That is why the centers also offer therapy sessions, some group and some individual!. You will also be expected to weigh in, and gain a certain amount per week, which i know is sooooooo scary!. The weigh-ins will most likely be "blind weigh ins" so that you can't see your weight!. But the alternative is, if you refuse to eat, you will be tube-fed, which is no fun!.

I know you are going through a hard time, but you must find the strength within yourself to recover!. Take it one step at a time and work your weigh towards becoming healthier!. And remember, healthy DOES NOT = fat!. Im sure you have heard this many times, but at the weight you are at now, you could die!. Your heart, kidneys, and other organs are suffering and could give out at any time!. Do you really want to lose your life to your eating disorder!? You have SO much to live for, and so much of life left to live!. Every time you hear voices in your head telling you that you are fat or that you aren't good enough, remember that it is just your eating disorder talking nonsense!. You need to be stronger than your e!.d!. I know you can beat it!

And don't be afraid to accept help from family and friends!. You may need inpatient treatment to get you back on track!. Good luck and please take care of yourself

I think you need to talk to somebody professional about this who can help you and i think you should do it quickly! You have already jumped the first hurdle by admitting that you have an eating disorder and you already know the outcome!. Hospitalisation for eating disorders can be very unpleasant, not just for you but for all those around you that love you!. !. Also don't listen to people who tell you to 'just eat' they are full of s**t and have no idea how lonely a time like this can be!.Please seek professional helpWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sickened at the amount of people going "Just eat!!!", if it were that easy people wouldn't suffer from this!.
Getting professional help from a doctor or similar seems like the best option, though if your BMI really is 13!.5 it's pretty likely you'll be sent to hospital!.!.!.
Good luck with recovering!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can be helped!.
Talk to your family, or a close friend about it!.
Eat a healthy balanced diet, and if that doesn't work, it may be better for you to see a doctor!.
When you go in it's relaxed, they don't pressure you and only want to help you!.
They give you advice on gaining weight by still eating healthily!.
I hope you recover from this, be strong!.
Good luck xWww@Answer-Health@Com

Congrats, it is a very important step that you DO want to recover, good job!
Besides an intense treatment, mainly recovering your nutrition and health back is really not that hard!. My sister went through it before!. You will be just fine, make sure you have an open mind, and tell the doctor everything you feel, i!.e!. the minimal chest pain, etc!.
Wish you the best and keep it up!. Way to go!Www@Answer-Health@Com

some people are naturally very slim and if you are one of those people u r not likely to be hospitalized!. however, if u have to go to extreme lenghts to have that BMI then it could be possible that you are going to be given treatment to be helped!.
tell someone how your feeling!.!.a friend!? close relative!? mum or dad!?
hope ur betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

You don't have to be like everyone else!. I'm REALLY skinny and I eat all day!. As long as you are comfortable with you no one else's opinion matters!. The media has all of America brainwashed with it's sick idea of beauty!. Be yourself and be happy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have not already found medical help, go to the school nurse for some guidance!. She Will be able to direct you to people that can really help you with care and compassion!. You have beaten this problem 1/2 way by recognizing it!. Let other help you recover!. Have a great life!. Bless you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
