I want this to be over! I'm tired of hating myself. I'm tired of dreading meal times. Tired of hating myself, feeling ashamed, embarrassed. Obsessing over food and weight. I have no self esteem anymore
 I've tried getting help but both doctors looked at me like I was just crying for attention. Enough is enough it has been 5 years. I want real help! Never before have I felt so helpless. I do not want bulimia to win.

Hi there!
I struggle with bulimia and I want it to be over too. I was in recovery for a bit so I can tell you that it does get better but then I relapsed and I don't wanna go to residential treatment cuz I don't wanna have to deal with the stress of what to tell my job... Here's something to think about: Would you ever starve a little kid? Or make a child throw up? Or tell a baby all the nasty comments that your eating disorder tells you? Well you were once that child, you're just a little bit older. So get a baby picture of yourself and hang it in your room so you can remember that the next time you have negative thoughts or wanna purge. You can also start a positive chain. I have one. Every time you control yourself from binging or purging or using laxatives or whatever symptoms you use or when you feel good about your recovery etc take a strip of colorful construction paper and make a loop and eventually you will form a chain! I know you want overnight releif but recovery is a process. Sorry to disappoint you. Babysteps. You can do this!  Hope that helps! Let me know... Hope that helps

Whats wrong with needing or wanting attention? I do not know about you but my Bulimia stems from feeling lonely, empty and abandoned. When we were able to release and heal those parts that held those feelings my Bulimia goes in remission. You need a T that understands this....that Bulimia is not just about wanting to look like a fashion model and fitting into a size 2. That stigma drives me out of my mind.

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. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
