I started when i was in the 8th grade, i wanted to be skinny so i found a way to make me skinny, bulimia.

I have been bulimic for about 10 years now and have been really good about controlling my urges now. In therapy...so on. however, about a year ago i got diagnosed with a thyroid problem which is now under control. HOWEVER, when i had all the symptoms of the thyroid thing It caused a whole other can of worms to open...such as major anxiety/panic and stuff like that. I have been having so many symptoms go ...

I was just thinking about it today... it's seems when I feel full I feel fat and ugly, when I'm empty I feel confident and pretty... sometimes even... wait for it... skinny! After purging I feel better, not so fat, not so worthless. So it seems that I love eating (comfort eater) but feeling full makes me feel bad about myself so I get rid of it... I dont really know what I'm asking... is ...

My husband left for Afghanistan last month and I'm alone here with the kids. I had just watched a degrassi episode in which there was a bulimic girl and I know this sounds sick but it seemed like an easy way out of having to control what I eat. I walked to the bathroom and tried to purge what I had eaten but I wasn't able to. I only managed to make my throat really ...

Almost like this intense.....rush.....I can't eat ...

I feel more lost and discouraged than ever and just unbelievably hopeless. The closest person to me in my life is my boyfriend, and I think telling him could help, but i don't know how he will react, or if he will view me differently, I ...

Recently my girlfriend confessed to me that she has been making herself throw up since November. She'll binge and then make herself vomit. I guess what's so hard about this is, she's living in England right now. I just got back from visiting her a week ago, and she recently told me this as she broke down over the phone.

I want to be there for her, I want to support her in anyway I ...

Well I am new here, I have a long history of anorexia, depression and bulimia. Right now I am in university and having a really hard time, I don't even know if I want to be here. I am on medication and I have lots of support from my family, but I really hate to worry them. All through my adolescent I refused treatment and did not comply with anything, which resulted in NG tube ...
