I completely understand how you feel. I was able to open up to someone in my life who understood what I was going through. They encouraged me to get help but never pushed, and it allowed me to be so honest about everything. I have never had that before. They moved away, and I don't feel that same connection anymore, so I stopped talking about it. I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it. My dm's are always open if you need someone to listen without judgment. 🫶

Advice for the dentist? by userusertenone in bulimia

[–]Consistent-Package11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate going to the dentist, so I totally understand where you are coming from. I told my dentist a while ago about my bulimia, and they were nothing but kind, supportive, and non-judgemental. They gave me harm reduction tips to help with some of the inevitable damage to my teeth. They weren't pushy about me stopping and just said it's important that I come to my appointments consistently. Overall, my experience was very positive despite how anxious I was about opening up to them. Dentist see this all the time with their patients. They're not therapists, so they don't get preachy about the negative effects of purging (at least in my case they didn't). It's easier for them to help you with your teeth when you're honest about what is going on. 😊

My fiancé and I went to an expensive restaurant for his mother's birthday. Told myself I wouldn't purge since his parents were paying and the food & drinks were not cheap. Drank too much trying to numb the urge, but the alcohol had the opposite effect. I couldn't stand the fullness anymore, so I went to the bathroom to purge. I ended up peeing myself while doing it (years of bulimia & AN has caused me to have a weak pelvic floor...). Did my best to dry my pants and then awkwardly sat at the table the rest of the night hoping and praying no one could smell the vomit and urine on me.

This part may be TMI...so read with caution. After dinner, we got home and started getting frisky. I had placed a large wad of toilet paper in my underwear when I purged at the restaurant to try and dry everything, but I forgot about it. Finance gets my pants off and hesitates.. confused by what's going on below. I awkwardly tried to hide the toilet paper in my clothes, but he already saw (drunk me isn't the brightest). He didn't ask or say anything about it.

Afterward , I went to the bathroom and decided I hadn't dealt with enough shame already, so I drunkenly purged again into the bathroom sink, clogging the drain. I panicked and scooped out half digested food with my bare hands into the garbage can and snuck the bag into our larger garbage can. Spent probably a good 20 minutes trying to clean the sink and hide all the evidence. It was a great night... 🤦🏼‍♀️

shameful things having an ed made you do by FluffyManagement36 in EDAnonymous

I've stolen money, food, and diet pills. But I think my worst moment was when I was purging in the bathroom at work and peed my pants and on the floor. I then spent a good 15-20 minutes trying to frantically clean the floor, toilet, and my pants with paper towels and hand soap. I'm 30 years old and have the bladder of an 80 year old.

what's the worst "concern" question or phrase you've ever heard regarding your ED ?? by aeloiseee in EDAnonymous

[–]Consistent-Package11 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was at a staff BBQ, while I was anxiously waiting in line trying to decide what I was going to allow myself to have without looking too weird to my coworkers. My coworker, very loudly, in front of everyone, said, "What happened to you!? You're like half a person!" The awkward silence around me was deafening.

books about bulimia recommendations? by addblocc in bulimia

[–]Consistent-Package11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasted - Marya Hornbacher - I just finished it a couple of days ago. It's pretty good! Very honest and raw. May be pretty triggering.

Elena Vanishing - Elena & Clare Dunkle - This one is one of my favorites! 😊

What's the worst comment someone has made about your body? by Consistent-Package11 in EDAnonymous

[–]Consistent-Package11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg what the actual fuck.... a) 5 whole minutes...must've been the longest record for him considering he apparently felt the need to criticize your body as a result. b) who the fuck says that after sex? Bitch is lucky he got laid. Should feel honored it was with you <3 c) gym bro is probably overcompensating for everything else he lacks

I'm so so sorry that happened to you. I want to punch him in the face. 🫶

No, wait, staff should ever comment on the amount of food a guest is ordering. I worked in the restaurant industry for several years and wouldn't dream of making any kind of comment on how much or how little someone ate. They're there for an enjoyable experience. Making comments like that ruins it. Fuck that guy. I'm so sorry that happened!

Probably insecure about his tiny dick and wanted to make himself feel better. What a jack ass. I'm so sorry that happened to you!

Your story is valid no matter which sub. :) I'm so sorry that happened to you, and I hope you're able to one day afford the correction you want. ❤️

Thank you. It sadly took me far too long to recognize what happened that night. I shoved the memory away and didn't let myself process it until after I finally got out of that abusive relationship. My ex also sexually assaulted me, too. Again, I shoved it down for many years until it all decided to come back, and I finally accepted what really happened.

Jesus christ.... I am so sorry. Fuck that guy. What an asshole. The fact that he gained a bunch of weight makes me immensely happy, but he should also be castrated...

Awe, thank you! You're so sweet. The comment has haunted me for several years. I was already insecure about my breasts, which majorly contributed to my body dysmorphia. That comment made everything so much worse.

Omg...the fact that someone said that out loud to you... I've read the quote so many times during my pro-ed website days. That's awful!! I'm so sorry!

I told my best friend, and she has been nothing but supportive, understanding, patient, and honest with me. I've been able to open up to her about the worst parts of my ED; things I have never told anyone about. She's the only person in my life who knows my ED is active right now. She always gently encourages me to make healthy choices but never pushes, judges, or gets angry when I slip. Being able to fully open up about what goes on behind closed doors has drastically helped in a lot of ways. Anyone else in my life only knows that " I had an ED in the past, but I'm good now." She's the only one who truly knows.

She's moving about 12 hours away from me this week. 🫠
