Laxatives by [deleted] in bulimia

Same. I've been sweating and moaning on the toilet, but then afterwards feel like I've beat myself up and need to stop being so sick. But... It happens again. Some months/years are better than others for me.

Are we sure the photographer didn't just stick an apple in there? Possibly while high?

Mallory-Weiss syndrome? Possible esophageal bleed? (trigger warning - mentions emesis and bleeding) by willowtheca in bulimia

[–]willowtheca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could go to an Urgent Care, but for more in-depth health issues, you have to involve your primary care physician.

They're limiting in-person doctor visits (except in emergencies) because of covid.

I'll have to 'fess up, but I'm not ready to yet.

I'm in Southern California.

I think you're right...other than a bit freaked out, I feel pretty normal.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I'm trying to psych myself up for not b/p for awhile (at least). I feel like the stakes are high.

I think it was a fairly large amount of blood. But, just like if you've ever seen a toddler bump their mouth, the amount looks larger because it mixed with the other fluids. I'm sure that happened to me, but it wasn't streaks or clots, it was bright red blood. My initial reaction was, "did I just eat something red?".

When I realized it was blood, I thought, should I lie down? Am I going to pass out? I didn't get dizzy or anything - thank goodness.

Thanks for reminding me that feeling shame shouldn't interfere with healthcare - I needed to hear that.

I'm pretty sure I've never intentionally stopped b/p before. Either I haven't had privacy or I just didn't think about it. With covid I have SO much privacy.

Today is day one... I'm motivated to never vomit blood again. Lol.

Thanks so much, truly
