News of Bulimia Nervosa Forum

A couple days ago, I purged some food I ate (I am not a frequent purger) and shortly afterwards my throat started hurting pretty badly. It was late evening, so I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever. My heart rate was really high, I felt weak, dizzy and hot. I took a cool shower to reduce the fever and started shaking like crazy, but the ...

i started seeing a therapist close to 2 months ago .... i went 3 times .... basically our talks just consisted of her telling me that my problem probably stems from something deeper .... which honestly .. it doesn't .. i just wanted to lose weight and i never expected it to get to this point, but it did and now im stuck here .... so ...

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone else has stomach problems- indigestion, frequent bloating, aches, constipation,.....etc?
I don't know if it's related to the ed or of it's separate. I purge about once every three weeks, think about food nonstop, chew and spit out, restrict and run a lot. I feel very fat and my stomach is bloated most of the time- on rare occasions, it's flat? after meals, or about 90minutes after the symptoms occur. ...

I know a lot of people wish they could stop, so my problems will seem petty. However, I stopped through no choice of my own, since then I've I've lost the urge/need to purge. It would be ok, but I still over eat and now it's starting to show. I'm scared; being slim has been so good for my social life, and bulimia itself is the last of my ways of coping from my old ...

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could share what personal efforts you make to get healthy and cure yourself of this horrendous disorder? Someone once suggested to me to make over my way of thinking by forcing myself to think healthy and "nourish" my body to give it life and vitality. If you repeat something over and over again, sooner or later it becomes a part of the mind. It certainly helps. I think ...

So apparently in Canada next week is National ED Awareness Week. My univeristy decided to do it a week earlier, and held classes like yoga and pilates, and information sessions. I was able to go to one; it was pretty good. Remember doing highschool phys ed classes where they briefly cover EDs, and give you more tips than information? This was MUCH better, and the women from the local clinic were really helpful and very ...

I know this sounds stupid, but I've just had oral surgery and my mouth is full of stitches. I can barely open my mouth and therefore am being fed foods like jelly, custard, ice-cream etc but because of the stitches I can’t purge. It’s driving me crazy, I eat then I just feel like tearing my stomach out, I almost vomit automatically, but I know how dangerous that could be. I don’t know what to ...

I only purge about once a month or so and the rest of the time I manage to control this urge. I do it when I feel like I have eaten unnecessary food in a larger quantity than I wanted. I don't starve, but I restrict (or try to all the time). My question is, that since my purging is fairly infrequent, how much damage to I do to my body? Is there no effect ...

This is meant to be funny. Not in the usual sense, more cynical really. Anyway, I tried the therapy route to deal with bulimia, one of the few problems I've had lately. I was actually there to deal with depression, and she focused on the bulimia. I'm rambling.

My point is, when she tried to help me she came up with some really un-educated solutions to quitting. She made me sit down and write a ...
