I'm so sorry muddy. Is it possible for your PCP to push for psych hospitalization if you tell her what's been going on, all of it? The rapid weight loss, the pain, the not eating, the SI thoughts, feeling like you can only eat a couple of things that definitely don't provide anyone with adequate daily nutrition, the low potassium, etc.? You really do need to be frank with your doctor, muddy. Things have to turn around and if they can't/refuse to find a problem for the gastric pain, maybe say fine, I'll go with psychosomatic, just help me please! I need to be somewhere where I can eat the calories I need to eat to stop losing weight. Really, I can't realistically see you going another 2 weeks, maybe not even another full week living like this before ending up in the ER from lack of nutrition whether the cause is all or partly physical or intertwined so much with the ED it's impossible to know where one begins and the other ends.
Write everything you wish to convey to the doctor in an easy to read bullet point list. Heck, type it up, give it to the doctor, say this is what I want to say is going on but I have a hard time remembering everything when the time comes, so I typed this list up for you? Perhaps preface it with saying, "I really really need help, but no one is listening to me! Please listen to what I need you to hear!" Remember to add that you are now afraid of risking refeeding syndrome on top of everything else.
