Hi I'm a 37 year old woman and have had anorexia and eating issues on and off since age 13. I currently weigh 91 lbs and am 5'3.5 feet tall . I am wanting to know if I am at a weight where A- and inpatient treatment center would accept me, and B - if this is the best option for me or do you belive that outpatient treatment would be sufficient?

Thank You

I think you should try for the inpatient treatment and tell them that you have had anorexia for a long time. I am sure they will take you in. Good luck and get better soon.
