Hospital food is nasty.
But if u can’t get any food in from home or so then maybe try n eat small parts that look nice.
Don’t think they poison it

I can assure you the food there isn’t poisoned. It’s just a delusion, and it’ll get worse if you don’t get food.
Food = energy, and the less you have, the less you’re able to fight off your problems.

I’ve been buying my own food and bringing it in but my family can’t afford it anymore cause it’s just re heated food which cost a bit

I’m trying to tell myself it’s not but i’m just scared that if I put that food in my mouth they will all start on me

I doubt it’s been poisoned by them. You’re ok

I am glad you are starting to feel alittle better.
No the food is definately not poisoned. The paranoid part of this illness really sucks.

I’m sorry you feel like the food is poisoned. It isn’t, but that doesn’t make the fear go away. Do they have presealed snacks you can eat? Like cookies or milk that come in a package? Would that make you feel safer?

its okay livio dont worry its safe to eat. sometimes paranoia can make us “feel” like threats are around when theyre not. Like sometimes you feel like someones behind you and theyre not. Sometimes our brain plays tricks on us. Its just paranoia, the food is safe and delicious . itll put a smile on your face and itll help you start to trust others and meet cool new people in the ward
