Keep having traumatic flashbacks?

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

I keep thinking about being sectioned(forced in an inpatient program or mental hospital).

4 years ago I was sectioned for Anorexia Nervosa and had a feeding tube inserted through my nose into my stomach. I was released a month later after reaching my target weight. I’m still suffering from Anorexia now.(I’m 18)

Last year in April, I had a panic attack and freaked out. My mother called the cops on me, which led to them calling an ambulance and I was put on suicide watch in the ER. I was then sent to a pyschiatric unit for 9 days.
Not to mention the drug rehab I’ve been to twice and the 3 almost fatal suicide attempts.

But I keep thinking about the mental hospitals and being sectioned. It makes me very upset and paranoid. Could this be some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder?
I’m at a “normal” weight right now. I’m 5’8 and I weigh 123lbs at this exact moment. I’m still focused on losing about 10 more before spring break.

I’m taking Welbutrin XL, Lamictal, Adderall and Ambien at the moment. I haven’t discussed these feelings with anyone yet just because I have so many more issues. I don’t want anyone to say “great, something else to deal with.”
Yea. Me and my parents have a horrible relationship. I was diagnosed BPD, ADHD and I have an anxiety disorder, but due to past abuse of Xanax, I can’t take any anxiety meds. Thank you for the advice and support. I just can’t stop thinking about it. It is effecting my life way too much.
