I thought this page was for people that need help with eating disorders, but it saddens me to see that others are actually giving advice to other girls encouraging their eating disorder!!! Do you guys realize your helping girls destroy theur body in a way that could kill them one day!!... I myself have suffered from bulimia for the past four years!.....I WISH someone would of helped me in the begining and opened my eyes to danger i would face and the agony i would be put through. I am still suffering and trying to recover since this disease has taking complete control of my life, all i want is to be NORMAL again. If some one is actually using this site for the right reasons and is going through the same thing I am, or have sum encouraging advice, then please reply. ↓

I'm actually disgusted by girls asking people to tell them how to be anorexic and bulimic! Its sickening
I know how you feel though.
I wish you the best for recovery. ↑ |

the the thing is... in a open site for ED yoiu cant aviod it... but I have been pleased tha ti fyou look past the bad posts... there is some great support and recovrery advice going on as well ...
even though it may be disgusting when people come on to beg for ewight loss tips.. we have all been there at some point in oir disoders... we are all at different stages of recovery here- so instead of berating thrm.. all we can do is either ignore those posts or to leave good advice on them- advice like..... honey this can kill you balh blah advice... ↑ |

| I hear you. It's sad how people are searching for ways to develop an eating disorder because they think it is glamorous. It's not and i think most of them realize that after a while. I know i did. It's hard to search for info on the disorder without find troubling facts about it. Unfortunately most of the time it is too late. The disorder has taken over our lives. I sometimes feel i would rather be skinny for three years then be fat and live till i'm 90. I know its horrible to say but thats the reality. The disorder screws up your judgement. I am really desperately trying to quit because i hate the way i feel all the time. I'm living a life of guilt and its killing me inside. Literally. ↑ |

Hi Casey!
Im going through the same thing than you. I have been suffering from bulimia since I was 14 and now im 22, so that makes 8 years. I had first anorexia and then it came bulimia. Not day it pasts that i hope that i wouldn have gone to toilet after eating that first time, if i could change the past i would, bu i cant, so i must try to change the future. I want get healty and i want children after couple of years, but i cant make children before i know the hole bulimia thing is past. I know your story and i know how difficult it is. I have tried so many time myself to get healty but after one month or two my nerves they break and start it again. the beginnig is always most hart, you feel nervous, but after two weeks everything is more easy. I hope this time it will be forever, i want it will stop to this and never i will came face with this eating disorder again, just if I have the power to get healthy and I know you will have it also just you must want it enought and be strong. Im sure We will be normal again, because we want to be and we have face the fact how dangerous and hard mentally this disorder is! Good luck and be strong, i will try also! ↑ |

| hey, reading your artical has shown me that other people are goin through the same as me. I have been bulimic for 6 years. I am just getting help, ive started having counciling but i am still a long way off breaking this horrible habbit. I wish that I had never discovered bulimia, it has taken over and ruined my life, but I so badly want to get better. Why is it the hardest thing in the world to do? As well as bulimia I also struggle with compulsive over eating and getting up in the night and eating. It has turned me into a complete insomniac. I find it hard to talk to people I know or my family as I dnt want any1 to be disappointed in me and I realy dont think people will understand it? I am aware of all the dangers ov what im doing but the voice inside my head takes over and being sick is just normality to me now!! Are you seekin any help at the moment? x ↑ |

Casey--You aren't alone. I struggle daily with this terrible cycle.
I have faught it alone until I found this website today. It sickens me as well that people are helping others ruin their lives. If they only knew what it leads to, they would run so fast from it.
I just want to let you know that you are in my prayers. We can overcome this!!! ↑ |

| Dear Casey, I am a recovered bulimic for 11 years now. There is help out there for you. It's still a fight every day not to go back to it, but you know what "you can do it" the first step you already did, you admitted you have an eating disorder. Now you have to find help in your area. If you are in windsor ont, there is a program called a BANA, let me warn you that getting help is great, but there is hard work to be done, if you need to talk just post for me, and i'll respond. ↑ |

| Casey: I was anorexic from 17-22 and bulimic from 22 to 38 years of age. For 20 years I struggled with these disorders. Some people may have different reasons for developing eating disorders. My problem was a controlling parent, and I'm not placing blame, but I am addressing the fact I couldn't stand up and try not to "mold" myself into what my parents wanted me to be or do. The day my mom had stroke was the day my eating disorders disappeared and have never returned. That was the day that I realized she had become dependant on me and I felt she was no longer in control of my life. I was about 38 years old at the time. I haven't read much of this forum but I found that working out - lifting weights and spending time on fitness and physiology helps one to appreciate the human body more. Heavy or skinny! I've been eating disorder free for over 10 years, and don't stuggle with weight or eating too much or too little. My mind has other things to keep it occupied! I feel that I wasted so many years of my life agonizing over what I was doing to myself. I know a lot of young women struggle with self esteem issues as I did. I hope I can help out here if anyone needs some support. I finally feel free and almost reborn! YEHAW ↑ |

| I am 24 years old, I am in school. I get stress relief from eating as much food as I can take down and then I go throw it up. I do this multiple times of the day. I honestly don't think it can get any worse than this. It's affecting me, my life, and my family. I don't know how to stop, Or what to do. I am imbarrassed of the whole thing. I don't like to be around my family sometimes because I know they know. They want me to get help for this too. I just want to be normal again. I remember there was a time in life where I didn't have all these problems. I want to be like I used to be. Does anyone have any advice for me? ↑ |

Hey Casey!i completely agree with you!however, there are two sides to the story.i have been bulimic for the last three years(im 18 now) but my ed isnt as bad as some of the people on this forum. every day i tell myself that im not going to buy any junk food so then theres no reason to get sick but somehow by the end of the day i change my mind......
i eat a healthy amount of food each day : porridge for breakfast,snacks, fruit, salad or sandwich for lunch....etc. i work out a lot at the gym and think well whats the point in going if im going to be eating crap...you know?so then i eat loads when i think im not getting anywhere with my diet and get sick!i hate doing it,its disgusting and dangerous for your health...my teeth are also getting ruined which makes me pretty upset when i think of it!to be honest im dreading going to the dentist...because i know that he will know straight away!i dont know what i can do?stop being bulimic maybe?everyday i do try..sometimes i succeed!its progress.....
i think people (men and women)look for support on these sites...and dont want to be criticized because all of us just want to have someone to confide in about our ed problems!but i know i would never give anyone tips on how to be more 'efficient' in getting sick!i think thats seriously selfish!!!our metabolisms are getting seriously messed up and our bodies are in survival mode!im getting hairs on my face and neck...i know there not that obvious cos im fair but its horrible!!
when you said that you wished that someone had opened your eyes in the beginning to the dangers of this ed.......i know how you feel! i was very confused because i finally got the courage to tell my mum and she said she would do her best to help and at the time i was a bit happier...i felt safer knowing that someone knew about my psychological problems about food. but one day she asked me if i was still getting sick and i said yes expecting her to comfort me and offer to bring me to a doctor. instead she told me that i was ruining the bathroom cos there was sick on the walls and she was tired of having to clean it. she said i was wasting her money and really to this day is acting like this is a phase and not something that could kill me!....eventually....
i remember going into a chatroom that was ''pro ana and mia''(aorexia and bulimia) just to see what it was as i had heard about these sites that actually promoted ed's??!!!how horrific!!.i started crying when i read some of the things that they were talking about and giving 'helpful hints' about. i asked a few question and tried to give facts and actual help but they actually told me to get lost and that i wasnt ill so just to leave them alone!!they were cynical,lost,powerless,defensive,alone and above all defeated and so was I after that.
i know i do have an eating disorder but im not going down without a fight..im going to beat it! ↑ |

| hey. well im 14 and ive been bulimic for 3 years. idk how to tell anybody or where to start about quitting. i dont like long ones about this so ill try to keep it short. ive been thinking about suicide a lot lately, and puke constantly. i just moved to texas from utah and am in a whole different school. i am extremely shy and hadnt said hi to anyone. all my friend came up to meet me. but half the school that didnt hates me for no reason. i dont know any of them. i think thats where the bulimia kicks in. im always trying to impress them. make them like me. its not that im unnoticed. its that everyone knows me. i dont like it. but i started puking because there used to be a girl in school in utah who i envied and was gorgous and really skinny. i asked her how she did it and she said she puked constantly. she said i should try. but i guess i just flat out feel useless. i am always planning the future because i want to be 10 different things. i want to be an opera singer( im good at singing) a vet a wrighter a hair dresser a marien biologist. but once awhile ago a teacher of mine told me i had to be smart to be one of those things. that i should look at other possibilities. im just posting because this is like a last cry for help. i thought about drinking the cleaner under the sink a few hours ago. :/ so i think i really need to talk to somebody. ↑ |

| well i would use some help too. i am really hopeless. i don't have to describe how it works. most of bulimic know anyways how it works. i've had it 7 years now. i thought i can help myself. at first it worked. i had some time i didn't throw up. but it comes back. it always comes back. i want to be free from it. i am sick of it and myself. i need help. ↑ |

I was browsing online, and I come across your post, so I decided to signup.
I couldn't agree with you more, everything that you said, is exactly how I feel.
People seek help, because this is a serious condition, and shouldn' t be taken lightly.
Most areas I have found, they give hints/ideas on how to increase the purging, and it's not safe, it's serious.
Feel free to email me, I hope that you are okay, and if I can help in anyway, please let me know.
Just talking with others has been beneficial for me, and I've been suffering with these issues for a long time, and have serious health problems because of it.
I'm 37, and have 3 children.
Hope to hear from you, have a great week~ ↑ |

| i feel your pain. somehow i have ended up on the same path.... at first i only purged after a bigdinner once every few months.. or just before a visit to my long distance boyfriend. But now, i am unemployed and do it everyday. it doesnt help that my boyfriend is contntly and easily losing weigh to reveal his perfect abs and loves girls with that "indie skinny" look.. i am very petite but have large boobs and curves. its so hard--- i want to stop.. i miss loving my body ↑ |

| I am really scared. i have a lot of friends that tell me i need to stop cause of all the possible sydifects but i feel i have control doing it but i know i dont. i am confused i started a year ago then stopped for a few months but started again cause i gained a lil weight.i am only in high skool and my mom told me she went thru the same problem except she was a lil older. but i feel if i stop i will be a failure does any1 understand how i feel? i think she thinks its just a stage in my life but idk. the saddest part in all this is i have tried to start an eating disorder since 5th or 6th grade but i never stuck wit it until now. i am scared to tlk to my mom about it can any1 help me? ↑ |
| Name: volleyballpayer#1 | Date: Jul 31st, 2009 12:45 AM |
| i hope i am making the right choice stopping now (i am 13) the biggest reason y i want to stop is because one of my friends told me i could become sterrile is that true? (i luv kids so he knew that would stop me eventually) ↑ |
| Name: NotSoLuckyGirl | Date: Sep 7th, 2009 4:51 PM |
| It is sad that girls are coming looking for ideas to continue this. I have been suffering for many years and want ideas on how to stop. Counseling is more a tigger for me and makes it worse. I need to hear from people who have recovered or maybe get a support system to check in with a routing support group would help I think. I have lost so much time and relationships because of this disease ↑ |

Hello,
I am 37 year old man who has bulimia. It has really taken over my life, and I have been trying so hard to just stop binging and purging. How come there are no support groups for bulimics, I really need help and there is nothing out there with fellow sufferers trying to recover.? ↑ |

| OMG OMG OMG!!!! please dont start this. i wouldnt wish the life of a bulimic onto anyone ever!!!!7 and abit yrs is long enough for me! im excited to live again, weight is nothing compared to losing ur life and living a life of secrecy & lies. suppose my toothache is a blessing in disguise, am goin to the dentist tomorrow morning.my teeth are that bad, seriously have that many cavities, teeth are rotten. my worst tooth (why im goin to the dentist) has actually broken off and is rotten. i am in that much pain, nearly overdosed in ibuprofen im sure, not working. i no this sounds disgusting but i suppose this could help you, decide to stay strong and overcome anything you are goin thru because i wouldnt put this on anyone. x.x.x. ↑ |
