so long as your bmi is not dangerous under weight they cannot do much about it from a medical point of view they can only advice, but obviously if you going long periods with out nutrition they can do something about it. But if the worst ever comes to tworst and you end up being sectioned then legally they have force feed you. Are you taking in anything at all? But if they believe your life is in danger they can force to eat.
do eat/drink anything at all to keep your energy levels up and does affect your mental health thinking logically?

Jainey, please seek some professional help for the trauma you have been through. You CAN recover from it. Starving yourself is not the answer. You will likely collapse and be taken to hospital anyway. Take it from me, I could not eat in 2008 due to severe anxiety, my weight got so low, they were trying to treat me for anorexia. I wasn't anorexic. I was just too anxious to eat and everything I did eat came back up. NOW is the time to seek help hun and know you have us for support.
I just can't eat. The pain in my soul is so deep rooted, I feel so despondent. I don't care what happens to me. All I want to do is wither away and die. I can't reach out my professional reputation will be ruined. I work in partnership with the mental health services in my area. How weak and low would that make you feel presenting yourself to your colleagues. The biggest part of my life has been destroyed, I can't go on living in this nightmare. I've had a reasonable life up to the last year or so,so count my blessings for that, but want to bail out now...
You work in partnership with a mental health service, could you give a few more details please? Could you seek help privately and at the risk of being forward could you elaborate on what has happened to get you in to such a state? Just one last point, if your life was "reasonable" up until last year, why are you alone and unable to cope with this?
You don't care what happens to you and at the same time you protect your professional reputation?
They may not have said anything to you but I'm pretty sure at least some of your colleagues in the third sector and mental health will be aware that you're having problems. That is their field of expertise after all. Pick the one you trust most among those and ask their advice and help. Working in the field does not confer immunity.

I work with young people as a supported housing manager. My life started spiralling out of control a year ago and has reached another pinnacle of a break down. I am too proud and would rather my reputation tainted when I'm gone. I'm one of these private people. I'm not sure I want to get better. The road is too painful.. I can't write things down because it hurts too much..
