Hi there,
I'm new here. Long story short, I'm finally (at age 46) dealing with pain caused by my emotionally distant mother. I struggled with Bulimia when I was in high school through college. It crippled me big time. I lost my ability to stay in college and I lost a long-term relationship. I finally moved out of state for several years and that is when I conquered bulimia. Being far away from my mom ...

A friend of mine has consistently had this symptom ever since I met him about a year ago and I have been starting to see a pattern emerge, which seems to be consistent with his constellation of mental health issues (which are not diagnosed and not immediately apparent; he seems to think he is just weird). I don't want to get into his other issues here, I am only interested in this one possible eating ...

After identifying my main trigger about 4 weeks ago I became afraid of it and went on a bender. I didn't think I'd ever surface. Now I have two days b/p free which is a small miracle. I feel more willing and equipped to feel the feelings. So far I have only had to endure the empty feeling for short durations which feels manageable. It was a definite fight the past two days but I'm ...

Hello

I'm just here for some advise and help?

About 3 years ago I lost a considerable amount of weight, and since then I'm obsessed with calorie counting, all I think of is what I'm going to eat / when I'm going to exercise etc.

I have always binged one day a week and ate normal throughout the week, well keeping to a certain amount of calories

About 3 months ago, I still have my ...

Today I found out that I've gained quite a bit of weight when I was at the doctor's office. I was panicking internally when I found this out and ever since I got home, I've cried about it three times and I am still crying as I type this. I'm overweight and I know that I need to do something about it but I have nowhere where to start nor do I have the motivation ...

One of my favourite quotes is By Erica Jong " Eating is never so simple as hunger ". It says it all in such poignant few words.
My story: I love the smell of butter. The milky, creamy aroma and soft, velvety texture leaves me literally intoxicated. Add some warm freshly baked bread and I am lost. I can feel my body responding if it were cocain. It might as well be. I feel just ...

I am feeling like I want to b/p to save my life. I have home renos being done so I have no privacy to call the crisis line. The power is off so I have no internet except on my phone. I can't read my kindle. I feel like I am gonna lose my mind.

Anyone else struggling with bulimia go to a psych evaluation and feel like your disorder affects your treatment for other things? Like, I'm Type 2 Bipolar as well as bulimic, and they regularly prescrive Abilify to people like me because it helps the most. But because abilify makes you gain weight, they won't prescribe it to a bulimic. My head spirals and I feel like I'm not getting optimal treatment and it makes me sad... ...

I was struggling not to b/p tonight and called a crisis line. The volunteer was amazing and I felt hope. Felt like I could let go of perfectionism, build slowly on my small successes and allow myself to feel. Now, only an hour later, the urges are back, I want to be numb, and I feel like giving up. I don't know how to do this. I feel destroyed.
