Hi everyone,

I wanted to post because I'm a bit confused over what seems to be happening.

Basically, I purged for the first time on Wednesday, just a little bit of vomit but after I felt very "unreal", like I was floating or in a dream like state almost.

Then, last night I purged again, only a small amount of vomit, but afterwards I had a really, really, bad headache and I got very dizzy, it was more like vertigo really. I took some Motrin and went to sleep, I woke up this morning feeling a bit better and I've dedicated the day to just resting.

Has anyone else experienced this before? What could this be from?
I've had problems with headaches and vertigo coming out of the blue for years, could the vomiting be triggering something in my head? Or is it just my body telling me it can't handle the purging?

Last night I felt so horrible, and I really don't want to experience that again, so I'm really trying to stop this before it spins out of control.

I hope everyone is doing well.

x

Purging is courting disaster. You throw your body's electrolytes out of balance and put a strain on your heart.
Please stop while you still can.

I don't think I've experienced this EXACTLY. I feel headaches a lot after purging but thats just because you are dehydrated and your brain needs water. But recently I have been feeling a different symptom after a day of heavy purging. I get shaky and real anxious like I can't breathe. I would describe it as a small anxiety attack. Its really annoying and I cannot control the shakes and lack of oxygen.

After a light purge, I feel like I am trying to go against gravity, and float in the air, but after a heavy purge, I can barely stand for close to 20 minutes. If I manage to get to my feet, I either feel like I'm going to pass out, end up losing something else from my stomach, or I just break in how much pain purging puts on my stomach. I have to push really hard to be able to lose anything, but once I start, it's super easy to lose a lot of stuff. 20 minutes after a heavy purge, I start to be able to walk again, with support from my boyfriend, but if I make a wrong step, I end up purging again. It's very complicated, and I want to stop, but I can't manage to stop, no matter how hard I try. I hope that all of you can stop, and I'll try as well

I hope you didn't try to overdose on the Motrin....
