Is It Back? Someone Please Reply! Posted: 02-22-06 19:15pm
I was hospitalized twice, once at 13 and
once at 14 for bulima and anorexia.
The last time I was hospitalized scared me
to death. My vitals were all screwed
up, and they discussed sending me down
stairs for tubes if I didnt start to eat
anything. I was actually not able to
eat anything at that point, it would come
back up on its own because my stomach had
collected so much acids from no food, and
I had developed a very bad gag reflux.
I am now 21, have not binged or purged,
but I occasionally do have trouble eating.
I have never been large in my life
until now that I have kids. Since
coming out of the hospital I didnt have
thoughts of being fat and didnt starve
myself. But for the last few years, I
have woke up and had hard days where I
cant eat. Its like I feel sick and then
I dont want to eat, like everything looks
gross to me. Is this the eating
disorder coming back? Im not trying to
get thin, I love to eat infact, and I
struggle with my body not feeling like
eating, because I want to eat. This
usually happens when a lot of stress is
going on in my life. Im praying its
not the eating disorder....But I cant help
but to think it is. I know that
anorexia for some has a lot to do with
control. Sometimes its not cuz you
think you are fat, its because it can be
something that you have control over when
you feel like your whole world is out of
control.. What do you all think?? Is
it returning for me??
Anyone have and ideas of how I can help
it? I feel like im so weak from not
eating all the time. I probably eat a
full meal like 1 time a week at most.

I think your ed has come back and you
should go to the doctors before it gets to
out of hand. You dont want to end up back
in hospital. Good luck x

You do need to see a doctor but don't be
so discouraged. You have had kids, your
older now, you had stress when you were 13
or 14 but your stress factors are
different now. Not more or less
important, just different. Women that
have never been b or a have issues with
food and weight at your age. My advice...
Try to stay in control, eat the foods you
like since you said you have learned to
like eating over the years, and if you
feel bad after eating try to exercise for
20 min. Or so. Mostly, I would try to
take time for yourself. I know that you
are busy and that you want to put your
kids first and take care of everyone else,
but you have to make time to take of
yourself (what good are you to your family
if you aren't here). You do need to talk
openly with a doctor and just stay on top
of it. I think you will be fine if you
again realize that you are prone to an
eating disorder. Good luck
