I'm 31 and have had issues with food for about 11 years finally becoming bulimic in the last 5. I saw a counselor for a few months but I am back in school and money is tight. I couldn't afford to keep going. It's so expensive, over about 3 months I spent around $1500-2000. My husband is self-employed and does well, but that is a huge amount of money!! I have days that go by with no binging/purging but then I'll have an episode that goes on for several days. I hate it! I've opened up to my husband about it and he talks to me when I bring it up but he never brings the issue up himself. I think he hopes I'll be able to just get a grip on it myself, but obviously I can't do it by myself or I would. I've noticed a lot of younger responders to messages but was just hoping to see if anyone out there was close in age with this same problem. It would be great to talk to someone who really knows how I feel. I feel so ashamed of myself and so inadequate as a person. I've never gone into a chat room or left a message online like this before so I really don't know what to expect. I've always had a very difficult time developing close relationships with women b/c I am constantly comparing myself and I feel like I am in constant competition with them. It's sick, I know, but how can you put an end to the cycle. I think it's stronger than me. Anyway, if anyone would like to talk, please e-mail me at [email protected] you for taking the time to read this! ↓
