I have a social worker and two doctors coming to do a mental health assessment on me

And they will get a bed ready if they believe I am mental because I speak too quickly and accuse my disorder team of racism most of the time because they keep threatening to section me and force food down me. I naturally speak fast when I get angry, and I get angry with them because when I say something that is true the two women look at each other like I am crazy. Anyone else went through this?

Yes but now I am about to get a mental health assessment in my house and they may admit me to a mental health ward if they think I am mental

The eating disorder asked for me to get a mental health assessment and referred me to a social worker and two doctors, I am wondering if it’s because I speak too fast and get angry with them all the time which makes me come across as crazy, or because of the eating disorder and me refusing treatment. What if I tell the people the truth and tell them I feel like I am being picked on and bullied by these people in charge of my eating disorder issues as they look at me like I am crazy when it’s true and I got my family to back up what I say? What if I tell them I want to see 2 different people at this clinic? I spoke fast like that because it was my birthday yesterday and they called me saying they are offering me a hospital bed even though I am eating at home and I was bullied all my life during childhood all the way to college so this lead me to be a bit defensive and I stand up for myself?

I would get help on the outpatients clinic but I want to see different people, I want to see a different dietitian and different nurse which provides specialist supportive clinical management because I feel like they judge when what I am saying is true and my parents and family can back me up on what I say

OP these medical professionals are there to help you.
Let them do their job and answer any questions truthfully, this is your health we're talking about.

Refusing treatment will only make your mental and physical health worse over time. Isn't it better to get help now?

Stay safe. Wish you the best! :smile:

No this is my first time under an eating disorders service. I am being threatened about being sectioned and being taken to a mental health ward by the social worker because of the way I get angry with my ED team. I don’t think this is the eating disorder ward. This is for mental problems like bipolar etc (judging my speech). I don’t know what’s going to happen today but I am dreading the mental health assessment that will take place in my house, if they want to admit anyone they should admit my aunt, she’s worse than everyone. I am normal compared to most people. At the same time I got a call just yesterday saying they moved the time from 2pm to 1:30pm in case they need to get a bed ready to admit me, and then another call from the ED team saying the date I will be discharged has been brought forward, and now I will be discharged in two weeks time. I haven’t even began proper treatment for the ED yet. Does this mean that if I get admitted today for a mental problem (I don’t think this assessment is about my eating disorder) I will be admitted in 2 weeks time?

Have you considered that perhaps you do actually have mental health issues and these doctors and health professionals aren't "picking" on you but want to help you?

I actually don’t, I have symptoms of mental health issues, plus they didn’t take me but they said the next time they come (if I don’t work with my ED team and get referred to them again) I will be sectioned and NG tube feeding is the last resort
