I have/had Bulimia. I only did this for a few months. My friend found out and scaried me straight with the truth. I have a few questions for you. I'll give you my answers
1-What kind of eating disorder-Bulimia
2-What do you think caused it- I was sick of people calling me fat. I hated the rude comments other kids made about me. I had no control over what I was feeling & food is something I have control over.
3-How long did it last. I had this problem off and on. I would go months without making myself sick. I would only make myself sick when I felt really bad. It was 6months-1 year before my friend found out.
4-If you stopped do you ever think about going back- it is on my mind alot. Everytime I over eat I think about getting rid of it. I stop myself because I don't want to go back to the way it was.
5-did you get any help for it-My parents do not know. With the help of my friend I was able to stop it without help from doctors. ** I'm so very happy for you hun, i'm glad your friend could help you. way to go.
I have anroixa with a little of bulimia
I was raped ( childhood abuse) and i felt if i got skinny then no guy would want to be with me. I when I was with a guy I was getting to my low weight and he was so nice, but when i felt my self gaining. he truned really mean. I still struggle with it. I do it for control to. everyone has taken from me and this is one thing they can't
It was everyday. But I have people working with me. So I go in stages. I go a days w/o eatting and if i do eat get sick and then someone well see what i'm doing and make me eat and seat with them. ( I don't think, i'm bad eough to get treament yet)
I have went in for a interveiw thing for it. The lady wanted me to start right away, but i told her i had to wait and think about it.
**This would be a great time to do. I lost my job and I have been going down hill with it. 1. Anorexia
2. I wanted people to notice me, and think I was beautiful and sexy. I figured if I was skinny enough, both of those things would happen.
3. It's been on and off for about three years. Some days I over eat out of depression, and in other months, I am starving myself and working out too much to lose the weight.
4. I haven't stopped, and probably won't until one or both of those above things happen.
5. No, I haven't gotten help for it. 1. Anorexia and Bulimia
2. A combination of a lot of things. A severe depressive episode, a head injury, a suicide attempt (not me), pressures from a particular teacher who called and ripped me out on stage for being "heavy", and my addictive & perfectionistic personality.
3. It has never ended. Starving started in Dec. 06, severe restricting on March 07, and bulimia in Nov. 07
4. N/A
5. Yes not until August of 07. I am currently under the care of an M.D., a dietician, a therapist, and a psychiatrist. 1.Like anorexia
2. Aruments with friends, losing people I love, stress and depression. I needed control over my life and I used food. I'm a perfectionist.
3.It's been 4 mnths and I'm trying to recover
4. Yes I keep relapsing when ever I argue or feel left out or get upset but I am trying really hard.
5.My parents, friends and teachers know. I have to have dinner with the teachers (so I don't starve and collapse again) I get weighed weekly by the school nurse. I've been to the doctor and reffered to A beat clinic. My friends have been great and I talk to a trusted teacher when I have a bad day. 1. Anorexia
2. Just got out of a bad relationship. I was really depressed and felt like I would never find anyone else. This was all combined with very low self esteem.
3. Mine lasted about a year.
4. I don't ever think about going back. I look at pictures of myself during those times and realize how gross I looked. I was way too skinny. Now, with a little more weight on my bones - I look curvier and sexier. :)
5. I got help for it on my own. I did a lot of research online and came to the conclusion that anxorexia was what I had. I'm sure that my parents knew because they would make comments about how skinny I was.... 1-EDNOS
2- Was always the chubby kid growing up. Got sick of being told it was a waste for such a pretty face to be so big
3- Off and on, for about 2 years. I got frustrated with all of it in freshman year at university and stopped, but then gained almost 20lbs. Now i'm somewhat back into it, but i'm trying to keep it minimally healthier (don't purge, keep daily cal limits to a reasonable amount, don't use diuretics, don't fast). I do still have the terrible body image, the obsession with weight loss, the guilt for indulging excessively/ in certain foods.
4- There were about 2 times where i purged.. but i did do some research on water fasting, and (thus far) i've found it to be quite pointless. the first time i was really into it, the total calorie deprivation made me really moddy, and irritable a lot of the time.
5- since it's an EDNOS, you can't really tell-- my friends usually just think i'm into the whole being healthy, eating well and excercising thing.. i'm not nearly underweight, so you wouldn't know... |
