Throwing Up
Posted: 02-27-06 15:48pm

I used to be a bulimic who threw up the occassional meal. I did that for about 4 years. Now i've taken this odd turn and when I get into a binge-purge cycle I will purposefully set out tons of food or bake and then eat it all. Sometimes i'll eat for an hour - purge --- and continue this 2-3 times! I've been this way for about 5 months now. I am starting counseling on march 21 which is a big step.
But lately - my body is not allowing me to purge....No matter how much food I have eaten.
Why is this? What can I do?
I am miserable, depressed and just sat in the bathroom and had a mini-breakdown. I'm so tired of feeling this way and of fighting this disease!

You need to talk to your parents or someone you can trust.

It is a serious problem

you need to sort your life out and seek help ask an adult to do this for you and take time out to sort out the way you feel you can always pick up your life again after you feel better but for now its what you may need to do.

Thats what I needed to do when I had serious depression

take care will think about you

Hello... I'm new here, and am scared and sad :(
i read your post and felt identified with you...

I am 20, turning 21 years old next may. I never suffered from anorexia, though... But I suffer from bulimia nervosa.
My worried that lead this illness are body image and weight related. I'm always going to check my weight, I don't know what to do.
And I can eat like a monster, if you'd imagine... I feel very depressed.
I've been forcing myself not to eat for full days from about 3 years now. But, from x-mas on, I can't help eating like a monster... I knew, before that, that I could eat, eat, eat, without any kind of control, but, somehow, I managed not to - that's why I try not to eat at all.
Since I feel so fat - thought I went to the doctor last month - and heavy, I started throwing up, almost on a daily basis. I just don't do it when my parents are home. Sometimes I do it when they are, but just if I now that they are distracted and that i'll hear them if they come to me.

my parents never gave much attention to me in these matters... About my body and my weight... I went to the doctor last feb 15 but, as my parents don't even imagine that, I couldn't follow the plan she gave me. And I didn't tell i'm bulimic...

I need strenght and will to get back to what I was some months ago, when I could control myself.
