Wow, good for your boyfriend--he really cares for you a LOT if he is taking on the responsibility of telling your parents about this horrible time you're going through.


Rehab is NOT BAD. But it's work. Therapy can be tiring, because you have to talk about yourself and your feelings and your past, and many people (especially those who are troubled) try not to 'feel' and try not to look too hard at their past or at their problems--it's much easier to just hope it away.


You'll do group therapy almost every day, and you will have individual meetings with a doctor. You might also do art therapy or music therapy--which is actually kind of fun!


There are restrictions, depending on what type of rehab you go to. You probably won't be able to leave on your own, and if you're on suicide watch, you won't be allowed to go anywhere alone (not even the bathroom) and will have 'room checks' every 15 minutes or so. However, this is not true of all rehabs--especially private (not state-run) ones--and you might very well not be in that position.


Your boyfriend and parents can visit, of course.


You know how the hardest things in life often turn out to be the best? This will happen for you. Going to rehab will be hard, but being healthy in the end will be worth it.


Also, rehab might be fun. Sounds totally weird, right? But I went to outpatient rehab and it wasn't bad at all...I learned how to deal with things much better, I bonded with the other patients, and music and art therapy was really fun haha.


Best of luck. Stay strong!Is rehab that bad? ADVICE PLEASE HELP!!?
I had to go for anorexia about a year ago. Of course its frightening and uncomfortable, but after a while it becomes more bearable. You meet some really great people, which, since you are all going through the same experience, makes the process easier. The real challenge is staying healthy once you get out of rehab and are not forced to do what you are supposed to. Best of luck.
Oh my God; fifteen? Well it can't be that bad! I've never been to rehab but I've definitely been down a suicidal road more than once and honestly, what could be worse than what you're going through right now??? Rehab is supposed to be helpful. What could be better than being surrounded by people who want you to feel good? I mean...I'm only twelve so I guess I'm not one to talk but you...I don't know. It just doesn't seem fair that your life is just beginning and you're worrying about things like this. My advice is to get rehab over with and then move on in your life. It's just a puzzle piece in what's before you; don't worry, you're not weird or a freak. You just need a little help before you can support yourself. Crutches. Think of rehab as crutches.
It might be a little difficult at times, but if you need it, you must go. Then you will be healthier and feel much better. Please go, and btw are you parents aware of all this? I don't know how old your boyfriend is, but he cannot get you put in a hospital, or outpatient rehab.
no its not bad at all, of course you are scared but i was too and it became very helpful to me and I have stopped everything i have done. so it really can help you if you let it!


Good Luck with everything
You are confused....


Cutting yourself and bulemia = bad...


Rehab = good


Another example....


Cocaine = bad


Rehab = good


understand?
