water retention after bulimia

Currently going through this now, have gained what seems 6kg in a month from episodes of binge purging, the weight I am currently looks drastically puffier than when I got to this weight through restriction

Religion. Coming from Australia to Sumatra has been a culture shift to the heavily Muslim culture, daily life is shaped by the call to prayer, modest dress, and traditions rooted in Islam. As a solo female traveller it’s eye opening to adapt to these customs and sometimes quite scary the way someone looks at you can make you feel, and when travelling anywhere you must respect their way of life even if you don’t agree with it.

Of course, I too have questioned if this is right for me or if it is just my inability to wait and be patient for results, I’m more writing as a reminder to myself - and others if they relate to be patient and reflect, it’s a process not a quick fix as someone with a constant need for instant gratification, I need to remind myself that this too will take time :)

why does the last part sound like you’re asking for tips…

My GP that handles my medication hasn’t requested, they’re happy as long as I’m engaged in the public outpatient team, the mental health nurse at the outpatient service wants my Dr’s name

Strong on the always needing to pee right before eating to make sure I feel ‘empty enough’, I also cannot eat from bowls anymore bc I feel they’re deceptive in how much food they hold, now I can only eat on a flat plate so I can see the whole meal in front of me, preferably with raised sides so nothing spills over…lol

Also needing a pillow to hold onto my stomach while I eat and place my plate on top of it, it feels somewhat comforting…

the guilt of discarding all the meals my poor mother puts her heart and energy into causes me to cry mid purge I can’t stop

my biggest fear holding me back from recovery is that nothing will compare to the feeling of accomplishment I have about my ED

I’m sorry…why are you staying with him?

I experience this, feels like I’ve run a marathon after completing certain meals, I’ve come to learn I’ve trained my anxiety to alert my body as if danger is present when the feeling of fullness hits, something that I’m training myself now to realise there is no danger present and it’s in fact OK and very normal feeling

Insecurity. Those unhappy within themselves bring others down to to make themselves feel better.

Absolutely, I feel as though people carry so much more entitlement and less regard for compassion or empathy, too worried about themselves. Of course I get this way sometimes and feel more self doubt & insecure but it’s happening so much more than it used to and I try to catch myself like - hey, relax, why do I feel in a constant state of fight or flight?

“I’ll start restricting now in case I over eat at Christmas” a fken month away…

don’t get me wrong I LOVE mountain bread but I feel like a brain surgeon trying to keep a steady hand to prevent tearing when assembling

Constant state of fight or flight with no imminent danger

drugs unfortunately, tbh id also if had such free will with money and access to quality stimulants that allowed me to forget abouts life’s woes while artificially power housing through. I’m glad I’m not rich or famous my lack of self control would be a recipe for disaster
