| i think if u carry on it will become more serious now i think u have maybe a mild form but if u carry on it will become very serious i think that u need to realise what throwin up all ur meals can do for u its very dangerous and i think u do need help with it maybe tlk to ur mum or dad or even a councillor at school just so that they can give u that extra support things will start to look up once u realise the consequences of what u r doing best of luck x x x ↑ |

Hi, I am former bulimic myself . I was in hospital because it. I was purging several times a day and then I collapsed. Dostors said I was just about to die because my potassium level dropped to 2.7 and my heatr nearly stopped.
My mom was looking for a cure for me for a long time as normal doctors and psychologists treatment did not help me.
Finally she found a cure for me and it worked so well.
My mom wrote a book about it .
You can read about it on www.mom-please-help.com if you are interested.
This method helped many people also and not only me.
I am free of eating disorder now and very happy.
I wish you also get better. I don't want anyone to end up in hospital like me (it was horrible - I had a tube feed).
I wish you do something about it now before it too late.

| Hello, Katie Dee.When I was 15, about three months before my 16th birthdy, I started casually throwing up my food.I didn't see it coming and I didn't plan to do it.It just subconsciously emerged.It started out at about once a week.Usually Sundays after the big Sunday Lunches.I was in control of it, it was onlyonce a week and I didnt consider myself bulimic because I didnt strategically plan to stick my fingers down my throat nor did I really think much of it.Very slowly but surely, I started getting addicted to the routine of being able to eat the most disusting fattening meals in large amounts and my purging behavior increased.Then it was about twice a week going to every day going to twice a day and so on.I only realized it was a problem when somebody else than myself realized what I was doing.My sister found out.She told my mom ,who went totally nuts.The whole situation was crazy and my world started collapsing around me.I didnt get psychological help immediately because nobody knew how to handle my situation and my mom were just too frantic about it to even think what to do.They dealt with it by treating me like some kind of stupid sick girl when actually I needed their support.After about a year I coudnt take it and called a psychologist myself.It helped me see things clearer and understand myself better.The symptoms of bulimia is that you tend to throw up your food, ok? If you've tried it three times in one day, thats enough.Please drink enough water before the time so that you don't 'dry heave' ,but rather try not throwing up at all.You can also choke on the vomit, so leave the stuff while you're still fresh into it.It is not pretty.The longer you wait to get help, the longer it takes for you to recover.Believe me.Ive had Bulimia for 5 and a half years and im still struggling.Now im vomiting like only once a day on every third to fourth day.It is still too much and still meets the criteria for Bulimia very strongly.But ive had days in the past where my day consisted of binge, purge,binge,purge etc.I probably vomited up to 7 times a day.And no, I didnt feel pain.Some people feel pain.I didn't.Maybe Ive got very strong internal organs or something- but im not going to take the chance.Im batteling bulimia and if I only started doing it from the beginning, this would have been a much shorter battle.Bulimia is not you friend.Bulimia isn't always about 'being thin'.I give a damn recently about the no.8 jeans I just don't fit into anymore.And in comparison to anorexics, bulimics have a normal weight as opposed to being painfully skinny.The most important thing for me is to get rid of Bulimia.Did you know that even after a bulimic is healed from bulimia, she has to watch out for it creeping back through her whole bloody life? Trust me, Katie, this is not your buddy.It is like somebody who is an alcaholic.Relapses can occur if you dont keep your mind straight on the track of recovery.You've got to keep in mind why you need to be healty and that drive has to always be stronger than your drive to eat a superlarge meal followed by three jumbo doughnuts... A bulimic doesnt have a wonderful life.It is hell.It has stolen so much of me that I wish I could get back- if I could only turn back time and stopped myself at the start of this.If I only had a clear view.But the thing is that when you start with Bulimia, you don't know whats going on and you dont understand why you're doing it untill it has you hooked.Please ,don't get hooked.Please tell your parents that they need to help you because you need to see you GP and a clinical psychologist and a dietician/nutritionist.Even if you don't have weight issues.The dietician will show you how to eat (and stay thin anyways) and not need to throw up.The psychologist will help you understand why you throw up.What emotions do you need to release? Do you feel empty and unfulfilled? Do you strive for strict perfectiomism or whatever could subconsciously be bothering you that you are unaware and confused about.You GP could be a powerful source in helping you find the right psychologist and dietician.Nobody will think bad of you if you seek help.That will be the bravest and wisest thing to do and could save bulimia from ruining your life like its still trying to ruin mine.Maybe you don't have to fight as hard as I have.Maybe you won't have to desperately cry and want to die as I have.Maybe you can spare your relationships with your love ones and not bruise it like I have.Maybe you can have twice a better chance at beating this life-sucking asshole than I have.And maybe you could have the chance I never had- one of destroying bulimia quickly before it almost destroys all you are and hope to be.With bulimia it means bad future, bad relationships, bad overall functioning for you.Life can be beautiful no matter size of ass! (Not that im fat ,im only a size 10 and that's good for a 20 year old female).I have made peace with myself.You can not truly love yourself when you put yourself through vomiting up almost every meal.Im still batteling, because it truly takes on the form of an addiction.Theres even a specific addictive pathway in your brain that gets induced as a result of bulimia! You can look it up: They call it the 'reward-pathway'.It is the same that happens when druggies and alcaholics get addicted to stuff.You get addicted to the binge-purge cycle.After you purged, your'e hungry again ,so you must eat anyways otherwise you get headaches and you tummy growls.So why not eat a healthy, light meal once and get it over with.Bulimia destroys your enamel around your teeth.Yes-they start to rot and fall out.My front teeth are still white and good (Thank God!) but two of my back teeth fell out and I now have two false inplants at the back of my throat.Other things that could happen to you is throet cancer.The acids start erroding your throat! Your stomach lining may tear and you may get an ulcus.You may suffer a heart attack because vomiting risd your body of important electrolytes.But the most grueling experience for me have been not being able to live a full life.When bulimia totally takes over (and it will if you dont deal with the problem right now), it steals your energy, makes you grumpy and emotionally not up to things you normally would have been up to.Every little stress in your life becomes a HUGE stress and you can't take anything.You become a shadow of your formal self.A formal self who you never truly appreciated untill you lost yourself.Im finding myself again and I will do anything to help people learn through my mistakes.You don't have to go through the same turmoil, just listen to what I can tell you.It is also important that you realize that food can never be a escape out of any situation(whether its border, frustration or feelings of being unsatisfied with areas of yourself).You must take responsibility for what you put into yourself and for what you let out of yourself.Whether the output is vomit or achieving something you really want to.And whether the input is food to calm nerves or socializing with people who makes you feel good about yourself.You are the one diciding what you are going to do.And that decisions could make or break you.Please love yourself and don't break yourself.Thenk you for reading my extremely long message.I wish the best for you.If you need further help, please son't stay silent about it.And don't ever say you're okay when you're not.Be open so that we can put bulimia out.It is you who deserves to shine, not bulimia! ↑ |
