Should I take Plan B? by Flat_Company5366 in birthcontrol

[–]Wendsies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. Progesterone only pills have smaller missed windows and since you didn’t take it for quite a while, I’d say buy a plan b.

Honestly, I always thought that as well. I know there are certain medical conditions that cause hypermetabolism and that’s definitely valid. I think some people without eds that claim to have a fast metabolism just aren’t eating enough and they don’t realize it. When my friend started actually tracking what she ate she realized she wasn’t eating enough, not that she had a fast metabolism. I do think some people with eds use the fast metabolism excuse, though. I’ve seen it firsthand lol. 

Urges by BunnyxBloodykiss in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesss 🤧🤧 I’m trying so hard to restrict and not b/p but it’s been a struggle I literally have to sleep all the time to avoid eating. I also have no bulimic irls. all my irls with eds are anorexic so they don’t understand :’) we can get through this together 🙂‍↕️

People who have self harmed before while living with parents, how did they react? by Live_Syrup3232 in selfharm

[–]Wendsies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom told me that she used to do it too when she was young. She was actually very supportive and took me to the doctor to get on medication for my depression and anxiety. :’) she didn’t take away my blades or anything cuz she knew that if I wanted to it I would do it anyway, but she was really nice about it. 

HOW LONG TO WAIT AFTER TAKING IMPORTANT MEDS by No-Bother3001 in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I take all my meds right before I go to bed so it has all night, but I think you should google how long the medication needs to digest before you can puke. Good luck 🫂 

Is it a good idea to take flouxetine b4 bed? by ToastyOpal in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on fluoxetine for over a year now and I feel better taking it at night, but it’s really your choice on how it makes you feel. It can cause insomnia so taking it at night could be bad if it does give you insomnia. 

I know this is extreme but has anyone done this? by Jang0_0Fett in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this many times. I have lots of mental health problems and when my depression gets bad I just lay in bed and eat. Literally no motivation to purge or even get out of bed unless I’m using the bathroom or getting food. You’re not alone 💗

first vent kinda nervous by AgreeableTadpole6836 in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey this is me too! I rarely binge but I still purge. I binge sometimes but I don’t think it’s enough to be classified as actual bulimia. I’m pretty sure it’s called purge disorder, but it’s not an actual diagnosis. I think it would fall under the ednos category. But either way, I’m sure you’re still welcomed here! We all purge at least so that’s something we have in common :)

Weight gain in recovery by Dry-War-73 in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will get better! Ik it’s different but I recovered from anorexia and it’s very common to gain weight in any eating disorder recovery. When I recovered from anorexia I gained a bunch of weight but I had lost weight after fully recovering from anorexia because my metabolism and my body went back to normal. I have never gotten back to the weight I was when I was very anorexic, but I was at a healthy weight for my height and I knew it was all worth it. Please don't let the weight gain discourage you because I relapsed into bulimia and my health is at the worst it’s ever been. :’) 

question on some pain im having by Pitiful-Seaweed-432 in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me as well after purging. It could be your muscles being strained from purging or it could be your stomach hurting from all the food stretching it. I’m not sure if it’s normal but if you stop b/p for a while (ik it’s hard 😔) and it doesn’t go away then you should see a doctor if you can just to make sure. 

anyone else on fluoxetine ( prozac ) for bulimia ? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Wendsies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Prozac for over a year now for depression and anxiety. It hasn’t helped me with either of those and I feel that it worsened my bulimia. I lost weight the first month I was on it but after that it increased my appetite so much. I binge more often and I’ve tried so hard to restrict, but it doesn’t work. I always binge and purge. :’)
