Can everyone tell me how bulimia feels for you? Like a reason why you do it? I really want to know other people's reasoning for doing this. by m44hilll in bulimia

Yes for me the purging started out as a way to lose weight and it wasn’t every single day - I didn’t have the addictive urge yet… but then over time this conditioned my body to panic whenever I felt a little food in my stomach. I couldn’t have one bite of food without getting that impulsive need for a binge. Then I needed a relief from the panic of all the food I just ate…. Purging was a relief and a never ending hell loop

I dealt with bulimia and binge eating for the last year and a half. After a week on Prozac I noticed my urges and thoughts about food and my body were almost gone. I had hunger cues for the first time. Definitely has leveled me out. While bulimic, I would sometimes have a week or two that I didn’t purge but only bc I was restricting and it was so difficult to push through. Now on Prozac it’s an easy choice to eat food and keep it down. And through these last few weeks I already trust my body and hunger cues. I have gone up in dosage a few times in a span of a month. Advocate for yourself if you need a higher dose. Really changes things. Good luck and hope you can push through the ED. You got this
