That's a tough one. I understand that
school is important and helps motivate
you, but I also know that relapses can be
very dangerous. Most deaths from eds
occur during relapses, rather than the
initial illness. The longer your body is
depleted of nutrients and kept at a low
weight, the more stressful it is for your
organs. Although you said your blood
work was ok, your heart, kidneys, bones,
etc might not be. Not everything shows
up in blood tests.
I believe that you can recover without
hospital treatment but it's much easier
and safer to accept help. Forced
interventions are possible but rarely
happen without parental consent.
Regardless of whether they try to make you
go or not, recovery is ultimately in your
own hands. No one can make you better or
worse. However, they can support you if
you decide to take your life back from ed.
Accept help for yourself...Education
means nothing without a heart beat.
I suffered from anorexia for over 5 years,
causing severe damage to my body,
including heart disease. I was in the
hospital this past monday for near heart
failure and need to return for more
monitoring. I have osteopenia, my back
hurts so bad all the time, anemia, kydney
dysfunction, and many other complications.
I don't want you to experience the same.
Your eating disorder will consume you if
you let it.
