Bulimia is not a HABIT!!! Picking your nose and eating it is a habit!

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

Here, here.
I get sick of people referring to eating disorders as 'habits'.

Unfortunately is was someone on here PC that said it. You would think they have been stigmatized enough in their own pliet to know that calling any serious mental illness a "habit" would be ignorant, invalidating and hurtful.

Thanks for that, moxiedoxie. It helps to think of it as an illness, instead of a personal failing. I struggle with this belief everyday, to be honest. Sometimes I just feel like maybe if I have more self control, willpower, I wouldn't end up with this disorder for the past 15 years. On one hand I know it's an illness on the other hand I've this voice in my head belittling me. It's very frustrating.

I'vee never said it was a habit for me but I've never called it an illness until this week actually,when I realized I was ill/sick
 I would hate for anyone to tell me to just kick the habit!! That's annoying
