Venting How does the country with the best healthcare in the world miss a clearly eating disordered person?

[Ednospatient]

I live in Finland and its claimed we have the best healthcare system in the world. Yet 4 people missed my fairly obvious eating disorder (psychiatry and school doctors) For gods sake, I was under 120lbs and 6ft tall and NOBODY noticed something was wrong until things started going even worse. And nobody did anything to stop it before that. I got my diagnosis 4 years late. And when I finally realized I have an eating disorder I became extremely traumatized and started vomiting frequently. I haven't thrown up in 3 months but my mental health has gotten worse and my suicidal thoughts are worse than ever. I want to overdose because it seems calm and I don't want to die a violent death but idk which pills to use.

It's only best relative to the other crap.

Overdosing on random pills isn't calm. Instead of killing you it'll just destroy your liver and leave you in agony. If you want calm, research the recommended poisons (nembutal and sodium nitrite).

 

[I'm scared]

In 2012 I had a trauma which kicked off an eating disorder which had been under control for years.I went to ask for help from my GP but no help until I was 32kg and sectioned.
The damage to my digestive system and lack of help for this is a living hell.
I couldn't take an OD as have a phobia of vomiting

I tried buying SN from 4 different sources and something went wrong each time

Hey, I live in Finland too... I had eating disorder years before I knowed what it is and no one noticed it before that... So I know what you are talking about.

The systems can be good, but the people in them are still human.

Sorry this happened to you. It is bizarre the way people do not notice eating disorders.

 

[FuneralCry]

I'm sorry you are suffering. It is strange how that was not noticed as you said it was obvious. They are healthcare professionals after all and it is their job. I'm not sure that overdosing is a reliable way to ctb, I would never choose that method. I hope you find the peace you are looking for.

Doesn't surprise me. I have a very low opinion of drs. They are mostly money hungry. Most dont care anything about their patients. It's a business. I've been misdiagnosed so many times I have lost count. If your sick they make money. If your healthy they don't. Why would they want you healthy There's nothing in it for them so they don't really care sadly.
