I might have to go back to treatment and I am so terrified. I’m so sick and tired of all of this. I might have to miss out on my summer job and opportunities which would be a loss of a lot of financial stability. I’m not even like sick yet my labs are fine but everyone’s telling me I need treatment. And that they’re scared for me. I don’t see it. I wanna get better but my head has been lying so much and I don’t see anything that others see. I’m so scared and confused and tired and I don’t know what to do anymore

I’m going through something very similar, you aren’t alone I promise. It’s especially hard when it hits this time of the year, I don’t want to spend my summer in rehab. I go from wanting help to avoiding it and living in delusions instead, thinking it’s really not even bad like everyone thinks or that everyone is lying. It’s definitely confusing. I’m still struggling with that. But your fears are valid, your wants and concerns are valid, and no one has a right to force you into something that may not be the answer right now. Take your time to process things, I know at times it feels like time is of the essence when it comes to this illness but you should be in as good as a headspace you can get before committing to treatment. You got this <3
@Kaiiyla thank you💞 it’s just so hard because I’ve put my life on hold so many times for treatment and I don’t want to again. I feel like I’m going mad and screaming for help but now that it’s here I don’t know that it’ll be the right thing. I want to go because it’s the one semi-supportive environment I know, but I know I’ll relapse because I don’t have support at home. I don’t think I’m even in the right headspace to engage in treatment but I can’t make any progress at home - I’ve not made any progress since I relapsed 2 days after my last treatment in November. The longest I’ve been ok after treatment has been 2 weeks in 7 years. There’s no long term solution and I’m not ready, I know I’ll never be, and it’s just so frustrating because I can’t….like I’m not gonna get better until I go to treatment. That’s the only thing that’ll stop what I’ve been doing. But I don’t even think going would be enough either. And I don’t know what to do because I have 0 time for treatment starting in 6 weeks, and after that I won’t have time for 3 full years. But 6 weeks isn’t enough time. I know I gotta put me first but there doesn’t seem like any options. I don’t feel like I have a choice but to stay out
