I Really Just Wanna Give Up On Life!!!!!!!!
Posted: 08-28-05 21:57pm

Things are starten to get worse for me I mean the only thing I ate today was some fries but I purged that up like 10min after I ate them I mean this is really effecting my life I think it is kinda causing me to have like mood swings or something does that happen with people who are bulimic? What is happening to me I mean the only thing I have heard this past year is how unhappy I am and how I use to be nice and sweet and funny and now I am just depressed all the time. I mean it really makes me mad and I just go off I don't know what I need right now. Ok sorry I just had to vent for like a minute........ But really does being bulimic cause you to have like lil mood swings cause yeah I go from happy then I get really pissed off the next I don't know what is wrong with me though but lately I don't go any where like to stay the night at a friends house or anything cause I know if I leave my house I won't be able to purge and ever since schoool has started I have like ate one meal a day and pourged that I know all people are gonna tell me is go get help but I can't get help I am scared of everything that goes along with getting help like hurting my family admitting to my self that I am not natrually this skinny I mean I felt so awesome today weighing myself and only weighing 104 pounds and my grandma saying wow you are so thin gosh why did this have to happen to me..........

Dont be scared for getting help and I can help you because I was balimic too I stop when I weigh only 85 pounds and yes being balimic can make you very moody, I used to get extremely mad for the littlest things and I am still recovering, that was about 5 months ago now I wiegh 103 and I am a better person, you just need to stop purging and you'll start recovering like me tell a friend and see if she can help you and please dont give up on life, life is too good for you to give it you and remember god loves you and god can help to when you pray, if you need help just leave me a message ok

Oh hun, I totally know where your coming from and i'm not going to go on to you about getting help because although I think its the way to go I know its your choice and you'll decide when to go.
Mood swings do happen alot when you have an eating disorder be it anorexia or bulimia because you are causing so much damage inside your body beings to get affected and therefore it shows in your behaviour. A few months ago I was really bad and I started to see things that weren't there, there is alot that can happen to you.
Regarding mood swings, you see its like a gragh they go up and down and the thing is when they go up they go too high so its a bit over the top happy and then you they get low they get really low and you kinda want to kill yourself, thats how low they can get. These highs and lows can be within 10 minutes of each other and sometimes it can be scary. I remember a few months ago I was seeing one of my therapists and he made a joke and I swear I could not stop laughing for about 15 minutes and it wasn't even funny, after awhile he stopped laughing and asked me was I ok. Then a few minutes later I was so sad that I wanted to die so it is common.
Hun if you have any questions or just want to talk you can write to me anytime k.
I hope your well, take care!

Mood swings do tend to go hand in hand with all eating disorders. The moods tend to go from one extreme to another. Where I am currently at, I tend to feel so much at peace within myself these days, and it's a much nicer feeling than the highs I used to get in the past, because this is genuinely me 8) . In the past when I used to get the highs, I used to feel so much fear, because I knew the next low wasn't too far off. My moods tended to be a lot more in the lows though.

If you feel you're not ready for therapy, there are helplines out there that you can call as well. You don't have to say anything you don't want to either. If it wasn't for the support of the helplines, that helped me between sessions, I would be forty foot under by now.

Hang in there though. I believe that everyone has it within them to recover. I used to believe that I wanted it all along, but now realised that I wished for it, but didn't want to do the work to get there.

Take care.

Ive been like that latley too. It just seems like stuff gets worse in life.
But come on, nothing is worth your life. It's the most precious thing you have.

What I tend to do is, just keep out and away from the bad things in life that are causing my grief. And focus on getting the rest of my life on track. I got a new job, in finally making a little money, I got myself a new car... And im trying to reenter the dating game.


Just take life one step at a time, and I think youll do just fine. I really think you can beat your disorder, you just got to focus and not be afriad to ask for professional help.
