Laxative abuse is damaging to the body, it can lead to hypokalemia(which causes low levels of potassium in your blood,dizziness, muscle weakness in intestines which will cause loss of normal bowel movements on your own, headaches, irregular heartbeat, and paralization in the muscles in your body.) So yeah taking laxatives other than prescribes are harmful!!! It can damage your intestines/colon forever and risk of death caused by this.

 

[MyaShane]

can laxitives kill you?

They seem like such a quick fix, I know but they're so dangerous! If you're hardly eating anyway, the laxitives give you about zero chance of your body getting to absorb any vital nutrients from what food you are getting in you!

 

[MyaShane]

I figure as long as it's not killing me I can can be strong for my son. But I just can't weigh more than what I think I should it kills me. If I could weigh # I would but that's unrealistic.

I have two kids, hun so I understand the baby weight issue. You have someone else you're responsible for now though and it makes it that much more important that you take better care of yourself! He's going to love you no matter what you weigh, and what he needs most is you being there for him, so try and make that your focus now if you can!

I haven't seen Katey in a few days so I assume she's in treatment. Katey, check in with us when you can and let us know how you're doing, sweetie!

Hey everyone,

I haven't posted on this thread before...but I am soo in need of some support

I am having such a terrible time. I relapsed into my eating disorder about four months ago (after about a year and a half) and I feel like I have just fallen so hard.

Not only is this stupid ED affecting my health, it is affecting my relationships (with my family and my fiance), and my school. I just had to drop out of my physics class because I was too sick to write my midterm yesterday. I haven't kept anything down in days and I am so tired. And the further I fall, the stronger I feel that ED voice telling me how stupid, fat, and horrible I am.

Sorry for the depressing post...but I just feel so lost and sad right now. Anyways, thanks for reading. Hope everyone is having an ok day today!!

Welcome! I really hope you're able to find comfort and support here with us.

I'm sorry that you're struggling so much right now. Everything you've said are issues we've all dealt with ourselves and are very typical of how an ED works. You definitely are not stupid or horrible at all! And you haven't fallen, not really, stumbled maybe, but we all do that.
Does your family/friends know about your ED and are you/have you been diagnosed and/or treated?

/me hugs everyone.

I wish I could respond to all of your posts... but I don't have time right now.

Things with me are rubbish. My parents are being invasive, Jarrod is still upset with them, I have zero privacy in reality (even though I have my own room, due to the construction of it, I am missing half a wall and whoever comes into the basement can see ##% of my room, including my bed), and I have to deal. Only four hundred and fifty-six days until I get married, haha, and get out of the house. I have to live here since I have practically no income of my own and couldn't get another job due to the wicked bad stress of that PLUS school. I'm still cutting, although not frequently (yet, thank God...).... and my parents are currently upset with me/hardly speaking to me due to my requesting last night for body privacy & room privacy.

Messed up life indeed.

How are you all doing today??

 

[the_box_of_giggles]

Oh honey...

 

[katey]

[katey]

hope your all doing ok. sorry havent been around much things have been a little bit mad still trying to get used to the fact that in like # weeks time i'm going to be starting university!!!! its mad i cant beleive how quickly things have turned around. theres so much going thorugh my head about it all right now so am a little lost and confused but trying to stay positive about it all. so many people have different ideas about it all, mainly my mates and fmaily and my community team as much as they say its a good thing theyr all worrrying about how i'll cope. i dont want to let on how much i'm worrying about it i want to show them i can do it its just me being stubborn i know but never mind.

sorry that was a bit of a ramble. i'm out of hospital now anyway they let me out (or rather i asked them to let me out) i got sick of the place didnt see why i should stay in. not that i've been left to it i've had so many people from various laces ringing me all day i nearly turned my phone of but then didnt that that would be a good idea theyd just panick then.

 

[alilsa]

Do SI post here now? Nobody is answering anything I posted days ago in the SI thread, they never got posted. I'm working on an ED because cutting isn't acceptable. Though I guess i could have posted in the depression threads since I've been seriously depressed for the last six months and have no future.

 

[katey]

hi Alilsa, how you doing? i'm sorry your posts didnt get replied to i've not been around much the past week or so but if we can help here then we'll try. so here if you want to talk xx

Welcome Alilsa!

Your posts are certainly welcome here! I hope you can find some help and encouragement here with us. If you can, will you elaborate a bit more on what's going on with you? When you say you're "working on an ED" what does that involve? It might help us help you. How long have you been struggling with these issues and do you work with a counselor?
for you!

 

[MyaShane]

I'm glad to see you Katey! Was the treatment not helpful at all? It didn't seem like you were there very long, hun. And what are laces?

 

[katey]

Hey sorry the laces ment places.

the hospital stuff was more of a keep me safe admission as my mood became so low and i near enough gave up.i hate being in there i've been in soo many times. i wasnt there long i asked to go home, it was probably really stupid of me but its was way to busy for me in there and there were patients in that i was having a real hard time with so i decided i waned to leave. they did try and stop me, but i was on a bit og a high after being acepted at university so they eventually agreed to it.

 

[LovesEnduringPromise]

Treatment is uncomfortable right now for me, I made a blog about it...I think its just because it was my first day and alot of new people. I hope for it to get better. I wanna kick this anorexia in the bum. There is soooo much more to life, and positive thinking brings positive results...I know we can all do this. We can give this to God, we can strive for something more..let our minds be filled with him instead of this mess...it will destroy us if we dont destroy it first!

 

[MyaShane]

Sorry that's it's been uncomfortable Sabrina, but I do agree with you that it's probably just the newness of it. I really beleive that this is going to be a great thing for you!!

Hi, I'm new. My best friend thinks I have bulimia, but I don't think I'm that bad off. I do admit that I have "problems" with binging and purging and I'm trying to stop it. One thing that has scared me though is that a couple of days ago I was purging and as soon as I was done I felt really sick. I felt like I was going to throw up without any force. I went to bed, but I felt even worse. When I got up I couldn't hear anything and I thought I was going to pass out. When my sister found me, she thought that I was having an anxiety attack and slept with me the whole night. I didn't have the courage to tell my family that I was purging even though I was seriously afraid I was going to die. The next day, my head really hurt, I couldn't eat anything, and I had a fever. I'm fine today, so here I am, telling myself that I'm atleast going to try to stop.
A part of me feels that it had nothing to do with it, that I just happened to get sick after my binge and purge session. I looked up some of the complications of bulimia and all I found was that your esophagus can get torn up if you prolong purging. Has any of this ever happened to you? Because I really want to know if it was just a coincidence or if it was because of the purging.
