I got a spot at this 4-day retreat at an eating disorder recovery centre. I’m so scared! Honestly I’m mostly doing it for my family and to get my dietitian and psychiatrist off my back as they’ve been threatening hospital. But a small part of me wants it. I’m just so nervous, I’ve never done any type of inpatient for my ED. I know it’s only 4 days but I guess it’s a start, I’m still not committed to recovery but I’ll go with an open mind.

The “retreat” is the first step and you can go back in October for residential if you go to the retreat. But I can’t go to residential because I’ll be in my last year of uni when it’s offered. I’m just going to focus on this for now and see what happens. I’m just glad it’s not a hospital setting with strict rules/enforcement.

Any advice is appreciated!
