it feels good but should i stop

Postby passionfruit3 » Fri Jun 25, 2010 6:26 pm

I've been making myself throw up for three different days i do because food doesn't always feel good when it's in my stomach. I feel better after wards. I don't do it often. I do think im fat but im not doing it to lose weight. I don't know why i do it? I don't think it's a problem because i've only done it three times i just need advice

often purging is not about weight, more about a sense of control / out of control of trying to "get rid of" something, for me usually something emotional, I feel good when i'm empty,

You said
I don't think it's a problem because i've only done it three times i just need advice

I'd be careful, it could be the beginning to something more serious. Everybody starts like that. I thought that i could just do it to make myself feel better when i couldn't control my emotions. It became something that at times i do 5 or 6 times a day and i can't control. Nip it in the bud while you still can. If there are other difficult things in your life seek some help, or talk to someone if you have someone near that you trust.

You can talk here if you want to expand on what you said,

Take care

I agree with skydancer, nip it in the bud while you still can.

I am bulimic but have other methods of compensation (instead of throwing up). The compensating is definitely about the control for me, rather than weight loss. And I agree that initially it does feel good, but it stops feeling good when you realize that it is dangerous to your health and you can't control it anymore. Then it just produces anxiety. Don't travel down this path, I can assure you it is not somewhere you want to be. Stop now while you have the chance. Before it controls you. Before it sucks you into the vicious cycle. Before it traps you here. Stop now while you still have the chance.

I have read some of your other posts, passionfruit. I think you will be better for trying to deal with some of your issues in more constructive ways than developing an eating disorder...

I wish you all the best. Come and talk here whenever you need.

Take care,
