My therapist informed me I cant do anything vegan diet because its a “restrictive” diet and im diagnosed with anorexia. Currently in the psychward, told I can do it in residential but for two weeks I cant. Any advice on coping with this? ive been homeless and not eating and in an hour there will be meat staring at me.

    Well, you’re basically in the same situation as kids who have non-vegan parents forcing them to eat meat.

    I don’t know in what jurisdiction you are, but in some places, they definitely have to accommodate for religious reasons, for example. You could attempt to inform them; in some cases, it might help change their minds.

    But yeah, if they truly want to force you to do something and have a large number of people surrounding you, there isn’t much you can do on a practical basis, regardless of whether you are in the right or not.
