The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

bulimic since 14 now 24
- Thread starter ifonly4aneternity
- Start date
I was bulimic for 9 years, but just recently I was healed, not by going to church, not by a psychologist, not by nagging family and friends and definately not by pills, drink, drugs or over exercising.
I got to such a desperate, angry and to be honest pretty ugly state where I was literally on my hands and knees crying my eyes out red raw for Jesus to come into my life, forgive me of my sins and take away this discusting creature (bulimia).
A week prior to the situation described above, I asked God to reveal to me what it (bulimia) was and what my submission to it (sin) was doing to me...and boy did He open my eyes most unexpectedly. The light of the Lord shined out whatever I was being controlled by!
1corinthians 5 "...He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart."
The bulimia wasn't controlling me, my 'heart' was decieving me into accepting it, which in simple terms, I was accepting sin and thus inviting Satans control into my life via his carefully crafted addiction to trap me and prevent me from experiencing the safety and love of Jesus.
And now I am free! You will be too. God made us and He can fix us. We just have to believe it, repent of our sins fully embrace Him. Seek the Kingdom of God and the rest comes later.
Philippians 4:13
"...I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
If you ever need a listening, non-judgemental person to talk to then I'm always here. I know how it feels. I really really do - 9 years of bulimic hell and horrible scars both mental and physical as a reminder. But I am healing daily. It's gone. That unquenchable, furious hunger followed by the torture of purging... yeah I've been there. But now I'm safe, free, (not fat either - I've taken up Pilates),controlled and I love me because Jesus loves me.
I hope this helps. Like I said, if you want to talk about anything (not much fazes me) then I am a willing listener.
I pray that God reveals his truth and wisdom to you and that you are freed from the grip of this addiction forever through the mercy, love and forgiveness of Jesus.

I was bulimic for over a decade. I accepted Jesus as my savior and I have been set free. I still struggle at times, but if I cry out to God and set my eyes upon Him then I'm able to turn from it.
You can get better. Don't give up hope! Life is so beautiful and so precious. Remember, you are made in the image of God. You are the apple of His eye!

Hi ifonly4aneternity, I was anorexic/bulimic for many years, and I know how hard it can be to break out of it. But if you want to stop and get better you can. You've just got to set yourself little goals and take it one day at a time. So maybe for the next couple of weeks you purge less, then after that a bit less, and so on. Don't beat yourself up for your failures or mistakes, God loves you as you are and wants you to come through to the place where you don't have to do this anymore. I know that guilt and shame can be crippling, but please remember that those around you just want you to be happy.
Do you talk to anyone about this? Like your husband or a counselor?
