Questions About Getting Help Advice Needed Here!!!
Posted: 09-07-05 16:12pm

Okay, I have been wanting to go and get help for my bulimia but I don't know what will happen to my life after I get help. Will they hospitalize me for this? If so how long? And if they do put me in a hospital is it like the type were your parents pick who you can call or who can call you or your parents choose who you can and cannot see? And do you have to just stay onside or can you go outside? I am sorry I have been debating for a while now I just wanna know what will happen when I do get help it is so nervraking?

Hi lonely angel,

it sounds like a positive step (yet important one too). All treatments are different. I go to a clinic in dublin (ireland), which is an outpatient clinic. Perhaps a good place to start, would be to make a list of what you want from a treatment team. However, it is important if doing this, to be both honest to your needs, and to be realistic too. Personally, where I go, there isn't too much emphasis put on the behaviors - for me personally, this was what I needed. I do not think i'd be where I am today if i'd gone to a place that was redgimental in its' approach. Then ring around the places, and get a vibe of what sounds right for you. Check out www.Something-fishy.Org, as they have a section on "treatment finder", which may help you find a suitable place.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.
