imagine that instead of doing drugs i was fat i had a real problem with food to the point i was obese and it was dangerous for my development and could eventually lead to early death
i was forced into some weight program for 6 months
i wasn't allowed to have any junk food anymore but that wasn't enough i was supposed to change completely
i was supposed to get more social, make friends, keep my room clean, get a job or education for when i get back home, get happy, understand economy even though i didn't have any problems with some of these things..
i wasn't allowed to meet my boyfriend anymore because he also had issues with food even though my boyfriend was also in a program and hadn't had any junk food for months and changed his life around
eventually i was allowed to meet him but staff had to be with us to keep an eye on us
i wasn't allowed to go home on weekends because maybe i would eat something and fall back into old habits
blla bla bla
but then imagine i did everything i was supposed to do i didn't have any junk food for 6 months, i lost alot of weight and was now healthy, i went to all the health classes, i even got a job that i can start when i get home
but it still wasn't enough because 6 months was such a short time they needed to see that i would keep it up over time so i got another 6 months
another 6 months away from home not being allowed to meet the people i care about the most, not having any freedom, stuck at this shitty home with staff coming in once every hour to check on me
it wasn't enough it's never enough because i can't be trusted
i mean they basically said you've done really great and there's nothing we really can complain about but we'll lock you up for another 6 months just in case because we don't trust you, oh and don't forget we're doing this for you!
