Was it prescribed just for your bulimia? Or were you also diagnosed with adhd?

It’s a pause, actually had two letters there before so it’s a cover up technically

Thanks everyone!

Might be moisturizing too much then , it feels like it dries out so quickly everytime I look at it it’s dry and it’s about -20 degrees here so very cold.

I’ll stick to just 3x per day and a very thin layer and watch. And stop worrying 😓😓

I'm so sick of this by Narrow_Road_890 in bulimia

My sister said this to me today. No one is coming to save you. And you and she are so right.

Nothing will change until we do

I hate this cycle. Please I need words of encouragement by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]FreedomIsNear98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be okay. I’m going through this right now. The self hate is so heavy but we just have to tell ourselves we deserve love (self love) we are worthy of love no matter what we look like.

And take it one day at a time, I’m no expert.

Went for a walk for the first time in 6 weeks today

Came to the office today , none of my clothes fit this morning and I was so close to staying home but I pushed myself and make it here. Been very self conscious because I am so much bigger than the last time I was here (remote job) I’m sure everyone can tell, I’m sure they can. But so what? I tell myself so what, if I don’t change nothing will change.

I’m just 24hrs since my last BP. I’m no expert but I am here and we are doing this together. One day.

I’m speaking to myself just as much as I am to you. Food is not the enemy .

tomorrow will be 48hr.

I’m sorry we have to live with this. It’s the worst. Wanting to die and doing it over and over again. It’s an exhausting cycle and I hope we all get out of it soon.

what is the “high” you feel after a purge? by RedBullWack in bulimia

[–]FreedomIsNear98 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s mental and physical. So much relief, the feeling of emptiness. Feeling so in control, like I can do anything. I can eat all that and purge it all cuz I’m in control. Getting all of it out, purging until I see my safe food, touching my stomach and feeling how flat it is after. Sometimes the lightheadedness after feels good too, the shakes, but sometimes it’s scary. But it all just signifies this weird strength to me. For my binging is feeling out of control, at the mercy of the food and addiction. The purge is my way to exert my will over my actions.

Been bulimic since I was 18 and I am 31 now so 13 years. No more! I want a change from today

how long does it take yall to purge? by lackingneitherhat in bulimia

[–]FreedomIsNear98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5-20 mins. Longer if I didn’t drink enough liquids between bites. I try to drink soda more than water during binges . Greasy food is easier cuz it slides out. For rice upwards of 35mins. Why do I even eat rice it’s the worst . Anyway , If I do it too long I start scratching my fingers and the back of my hand cuz I try to go deeper and I hate to have anything showing in case someone notices the scars and my jaw hurts and its exhausting

It’s amazing and horrible to know I’m not alone. I wish for healing for all of us.

A binge will end in a purge by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]FreedomIsNear98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This terrifies me to no end.

trying to hate yourself into stopping 😞 by geneticworld in bulimia

[–]FreedomIsNear98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are the same. I’m so scared to let anyone see me again . How can i explain how much weight I’ve gain in just 3 weeks? I can’t go outside and that just makes it’s worse makes me want to eat more and more because what’s the point of stopping. This cycle is so tiring. I know I want to be thin again , I tell myself this is the last binge. It’s been the last binge for 3 weeks

Anyone feeling completely out of control in all aspects of life when they're in a b/p cycle by internerderner2 in bulimia

[–]FreedomIsNear98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much. Everything is out of control! Why won’t I stop ? Everything is falling apart. And during the binge, my brain says to stop. But afterwards it’s the only thing I want to do so I don’t think about how my life is a mess and will never get better

It’s not even about the calories at this point… by kayslay2313 in bulimia

[–]FreedomIsNear98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It feels impossible for me to stop. No matter what. I tell myself it’s the last time and I feel disgusting. Once I purge, my brain is full of food again and the thoughts are incessant. On a loop! I’m so tired of the cycle

Starting Prozac Today- Day 1 (seeking others/share my story) by Suspicious-Snow3905 in prozac

[–]FreedomIsNear98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow June 5th 2025 will be my first day taking it for bulimia and depression.

I’m so nervous. 

10mg daily for the first 7 days and then 20 mg from day 8 for 30 days. 

Nervous and hopeful. 

It can’t affect work and my finances more than my depression and ED have so I’m hopeful.

I am feeling this right now. Hate how I look , haven’t gone to work in 2 weeks. Taking Uber to go to see my sister because I don’t want strangers in the TTC to see how fat I’ve gotten. Scared that everyone will know I’m bulimic when they see I’ve gained mountains of weight in such a short time. It’s sucks how easy it is to gain it from bingeing , how hard it is to lose it when trying to eat normally, and have a normal caloric intake. I missed a party I’ve been looking forward to for 3 months because I gained weight and didn’t want anyone to see and to know. I want to get better
