Anyone over say, 30?

[Gwen'sMom]

I was just wondering if there were any people here who developed an ED over the age of 30? I am 38 and my world has recently come crashing down and I have begun vomiting. I know I shouldn't and I realise how unhealthy it is but I keep doing it. I have always had a problem with keeping weight off and I even had my stomach stapled back in 1999. I have gained much of my weight back and to this day I still hate my body as much as I did when I was a young teen.
After I vomit I feel cleaner. Does this make sense?

I sooo sorry, Luvie, that this is happening to you.. these eating disorders are the blooming pits. I know you can relearn to eat in a normal way and maintain weight but you would need some support while you learn new habits. And even then there would be a bit of backsliding until you got more in control and learn to manage anxiety without eating over it.. then there is the body image thing.

It is a matter of owning your body and rejoicing in it.. caring for it and nuturing it.. and dressing it in nice clothing. Sometimes we only need a bit of knowledge how to put ourselves together nicely.. sooo many issues to consider and all the time there is your individuality.. and your problems and your dreams and happiness YOUR LIFE!

You need a counseller, Luvie, and don't be too trusting with these counsellers because some of them aren't worth a tuppeny damn.. you know what I mean..

If you think it will help you can PM me and we could put our heads to together, and try to make some LITTLE improvements to start with.. if you go on like this you will ruin your health and be miserable.

Or try to find that GOOD counseller who deals in eating disorders.. Best from Jenny

This old sheepdog has seen a few bouts of that stuff. Their was a time when panic Disorders, Eating disorders, and depression filled my day. It's a wonder I had time to do anything!

I came back from the service with a wicked case of PTSD too. add a bit of OCD and you got a complete guy! None of that rules my day anymore but some of it still peeps up once in a while. did I lock the door? what kind of chairs does that place have?
loud noises like thunder at night in my sleep and I am on the floor reliving bad times. It is such a waste of my life. If it helps any I saw your profile picture and this old dog thinks you are beautiful. I imagine your little girl must be simply stunning!

Stick around. CF is the place for you to find unconditional love and support. and I love everybody. Cant help it y'all are so neat!
