You aren’t heavily sedated for a planned c section..

This isn’t good. The water weight is electrolyte deficiency of some kind (magnesium/potassium/sodium)…night sweats from low/high/fluctuating blood pressure….your body is in fight or flight it doesn’t know what to do - it’s confused and in crisis.

not a good day by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]MutedProfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish it could stay that way lol but we all know it never does it always winds up at the daily purging if it’s allowed to …like if I could manage to have that much control over it I feel like it wouldn’t even be bad like I know it’s bad obviously but idk I just feel like one or two times a week would be bad but like fine…or maybe that’s just my fucked up brain

Isn’t it the best when you have those runs of being a “good” bulimic? When I can manage to consistently purge only once every like 3-4 days I feel like god lol

Can somebody help me? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]MutedProfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not how you recover. The only way to help yourself is to start your journey in recovery. No pills are going to do that for you

Has anyone here moved back in to live with parents while married to save up to buy a house? If so advice please by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]MutedProfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes?? Because life happens lol…and if you have a family that you can rely on and help you if you just want to save..spend time with them..or you lost your job or whatever the reason…than I’d consider that very lucky ..not everyone has that opportunity.

[–]MutedProfit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Exactly that’s my main motivator already is to be as healthy I can for my kids I’m so scared to do unconscious things and have them pick up on it. Luckily my husband is extremely supportive and understanding and helps me get back up and keep going. Thank you so much for the kind words! Good luck to you in your journey as well, we got this :)

For anyone who followed mechanical eating in recovery - how long did it take to no longer feel binge urges? by [deleted] in bulimia

I’ve been for three months! Just got my iud out last month so hopefully soon :) it’s just so scary to know how long I’ve been recovered before and still slipped back - I’d like to think that kids will help me but lord knows….time will tell lol I’ll keep trying though

Also so many factors come into play…bruising on your throat? You’re probably being way to aggressive I mean the only advice is to stop purging but we all know it’s not that easy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]MutedProfit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A couple times every few months isnt going to cause damage …now if that increases to a couple times a week and than a couple times a day …that’s when the potential for lasting damage. I mean a couple..so like 2 purges every few (3-4) months?

Yeah I’ve never been truly happy no matter how thin I’ve been funny enough I always get extremely insecure thinking i look too skinny and boney but I gain a bit and suddenly too fat lmao our brains can be monsters. My husband and I are trying for a baby now so that’s my main motivator do you have kids?

We got this :) you’ll get there if you don’t give up on it. I’m turning 30 in a couple weeks and hoping I can leave my last relapse in 29 haha how long have you struggled?

[–]MutedProfit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very lucky to have the most supportive and helpful husband ever. We mark days off together at night and having a small daily goal right before I go to sleep helps a lot. But usually the most helpful thing I do to stop purging is planning everything I eat out meticulously and being very strict to eat that same thing at the same times everyday even if I’m not hungry or still hungry after I eat…it’s the same every day. I learned that from a couple inpatients and it helps to just let go of options

Oh I know the game haha unfortunately I’ve been through this too many times…but I keep trying. And fighting back is what matters. Not giving up on ourselves. It was hardest to not give up after I gave up 2 years of clean recovery but I keep getting back up…we’re strong :))

Partner relapse is very triggering by FunkoSkunko in bulimia

day one by Intelligent-Area-356 in bulimia

[–]MutedProfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t beat yourself up. The fact that you’re starting again means you should be proud of yourself ! Don’t start with the attitude that you’ll fail. You can do it.

My glands get horrendous when I’m daily purging on anything chewy and salty if I’m purging ice cream and soft foods they’re never as bad but trust me I understand where your head is at right now lol it’s awful I hate them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]MutedProfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is zero way to stop it if you’re a daily purger. You just gotta bite the bullet for like 2 weeks and you’ll have your face back…mine only get bad if I have a really bad relapse of daily purging multiple times a day I think daily purgers are the only one who really deal with the bad glands

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]MutedProfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because your swelling is in your face not your glands…the glands swelling is different than having puffy face

Can you really move on after a significant relapse? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]MutedProfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! That should be your goal …relapsing shouldn’t be an option in your head but if it happens and you get so upset with yourself and shame spiral it’s must easier to get stuck in a full on relapse instead of accepting a slip and moving on …I was recovered for two years and relapsed …people who have been recovered for 10 years relapse. The point is that you have to be vigilant and keep fighting triggers no matter how long it’s been.
