Hi, I’m new to this forum and not very internet-savvy in general so apologies if I get the forum etiquette wrong. I’m looking for some advice about my DD. Still awaiting formal diagnosis (have CAMHS psych appt on Friday) but pretty clearly anorexia. Have been trying to do 3 meals a day plus 1 snack (the most we could achieve) because DD is highly motivated to be in school and we said no school without meals. Last couple of weeks it’s been getting more difficult to get through the meals, plus increase in her distress and increase in her attempts to exercise at all hours. Yesterday didn’t eat all meals so we said she couldn’t go to school today - had hours of hysteria overnight, trying to escape out of windows, we were really scared we couldn’t keep her safe so phoned 111 and spoke to MH adviser, but by the time a doctor phoned us back at 3am we’d calmed her enough to sleep. She’s not at school today and distressed - won’t eat, has had some sips of water but barely any, says she won’t eat anything until she can go back to school. She ate some things yesterday but not much. We’re waiting for a call back from duty desk at CAMHS for advice. At what point do you think I should take her to A&E? I’m thinking this evening if we’ve not managed to get her to eat anything and no progress? Thanks in advance :)
