The Priory Hospital Roehampton 2017-03-04 Person 2 5 0

I was in the camhs eating disorders unit. The care I received was really bad. The place totally traumatized me and the things I had to deal with there was terrible. My consultant refused to involve me in my own care, she only told me what to do and expected me to do it. The team didn't really treat me individually I just had to go along with the rules they set yet many of them only made me worse. We were all expected to just sit down all day, we weren't allowed to stand up for even a minute, we'd get told to stop 'exercising'. We did no physical activity which was difficult to sit around all day. My parents were convinced the hospital would help me it only made me worse. I just wished I actually got a say in my own care, maybe things would've turned out differently. It was extremely difficult to go through all of I went through there. I was extremely helpless, I just didn't know what to do with myself and every time I was just told I didn't have the 'capacity' which wasn't true at all. It's was horrible. I'd say the only good thing about that place was some of the staff members who were caring and meant a lot to me. Otherwise it actually really scarred me.
