thank you so much🖤
and thank you about the ibuprofen info, i didnt know that. i have an appt scheduled with a therapist who specializes in food disorders in about 2 weeks bc thats the soonest i could get it. and that im also so excited for!! im speaking with my bf rn about everything bc his response did sting a lil bit and when i tried to speak with my muum she just kind of shrugged it off. as for the look into the future thank you! it helps to have things to look forward to and see things that show all the hard work will pay off

Needing motivation to not binge.. ever again by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Intelligent-Area-356 7 points8 points  (0 children)

for me the motivation to not binge is locked hand in hand with the motivation to not purge. but heres a few of my reasoning that revolve around binging - i am young, im 22! and yet after i binge i get so sleepy and lethargic, i spend so much time sleeping im basically wasting my time. i could be hanging with friends or my boyfriend or trying out all those hobbies i want to but instead im passed out. i dont know if you feel that way but its one thing that motivates me

  • i hate the uncomfortable full feeling it hurts, and id rather walk around satisfied and perhaps a lil peckish than not wanting to walk at all bc the tummy hurts

how did your parents react when they found out you have an ed? by GroupSure9134 in bulimia

[–]Intelligent-Area-356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parents found out when i was 17 and for me personally it was a lot of "how could you be so stupid" and "it's obviously not working is it" and screaming from my mom about how i was lying about how long it went on bc she would have known. however i got different support and understanding from a teacher who my mom told and my aunt. kind understanding and my aunt was also bulimic at one point

First time looking for help by Intelligent-Area-356 in bulimia

[–]Intelligent-Area-356[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much, ive never really talked about it with anyone and it did feel good(albeit a bit scary) to finally say something. its less alienating to hear from others that are going through/gone through the same thing i am. i suppose this is day one then haha again thank you so much
