I'm such a mess!!

[NoQuestion]

I had anorexia last summer, and I thought I recovered. But I would ocassionally have relapses. Now, I've been binging a LOT lately, and I want to purge so badly!! I tried to do it for like ## minutes, and nothing came and I know it was wrong. I know, I know, I know I shouldn't have even tried. I don't WANT to have an eating disorder, but I feel so trapped! I'm still trying to figure out how to purge and that makes me feel desperate and alone.

Awww hun don't worry hun its a tough thing to go through. Why don't you start going out and take a course or something do something. If you sit at home all day you will be depressed more its better to go out and do something.

Hey NoQuestion,

I'm a guy who suffered from an eating disorder, bulemia, for about three years. It's a tough thing to cope with but thankfully it's not impossible to overcome. It's good to see that you are dedicated in conquering this.

I'm in my fourth year of psychology and have come to realize how strong the roots of bulemia and anorexia are as a mental 'illness'. You will need therapy. Your therapist will talk you through this issues - mine did with me.

I would suggest that you get lots of prayer but also seek help from a trained psychologist.

My prayers are with you - you will overcome this.

GOD bless,

Stu

Also, one other thing that really helped me (through therapy) was to learn to truly be happy with myself - both emotionally and physically. Remember that no matter what you think you like, you are beautiful, especially in GOD'S eyes. Don't try to be what the world wants you to be. Avoid all of these models like 'Girlfriend', 'Vogue', et cetera. Don't let society tell you who to be or what to look like.

Keep me posted on how things go. You will overcome this.

Sorry, I'm about to go to bed.

I mean avoid those magazines, not models.

Sorry,
Stu

Thank you, I really appreciate your advice. Right now my family can't afford any therapy, and my mom is dead set on me getting over this without it. She doesn't think I need a specialist, and that makes me want to prove to her that I really can do it on my own. Maybe that is irresponsible, but I think I can do this.

I had a really bad day today where I binged and purged, and I pretty much wanted to die this morning. But I got a hold of my mom (she is # hours away right now), and she told me to start thinking about my # younger siblings and how I need to be there for them. I don't think this is going to go away overnight though. I really appreciate what you said.

Hun, do you think you can do it on your own?

Hun, do you think you can do it on your own?

I haven't really been able to, I guess.

ask for help?

We aren't meant to walk though life on our own. We can ask for help. Asking for help doesn't mean you are weak or irresponsible or stupid. If anything it means your brave enough to admit you can't handle it on your own. Which takes more bravery than most realize.

ask for help?

No, I haven't been able to do this on my own. I think I do need outside help...
