Re: 22 years old. Very Ill. Extreme Fatigue. Digestive Issues Etc. Need advice.

That is nice you are helping my daughter. My family refuses to believe I'm actually ill. My mom told me I had to be on antidepressants for at least 6 months and only then if that doesnt work we can consider I might have a physical issue. Well I never took them cause I was scared what they would do to my body. She dug through my packpack found out and we got in a big argument and she told me she was tired of me so she called the police on me and filed a petition I be institutionalized. She told me since I had decided to bail out on life because of my "psychological need to be ill" institutionalizing me was the only option. Unfortunately cause of my past record of anorexia and how good an actress my mom is they decided to institutionalize me. I was locked in a mental ward for a while. Finally got out despite my mom petitioning them to keep me in there longer. Now I'm back at school trying to finish up college, while working part time to save up for doctors appointments just for the long shot at getting better. I feel horrible everyday and wonder how much longer I can make it before my body completely gives out. Tweet
