Force-feeding anorexics

Postby ashladdagirl75 » Tue Oct 16, 2012 9:51 pm

I'm anorexic, and I'm worried that family members will try to force feed solid food to me.

Have people ever forced solid food down an anorexic's throat?

Should I worry about people, especially family members, forcing or trying to force solid food down my throat?

You should be more concerned about being anorexic, which is a form of slow suicide. If you let it go on long enough, so your teeth are rotten, your hair's falling out, your periods have stopped and you're a walking skeleton, I hope a hospital will feed you, with a stomach tube if necessary.

Once I too used to eat very less for my age and had bear very bad consequences. So now I started to eat sufficiently and feel much better. You will have to be careful.

In my opinion you shouldn't have to be force fed. If you're worried you should make the decision to at least make an attempt at eating a bit more slowly to prevent something like that from happening. Take it one step at a time.
