I'm new and scared

I have been sitting in my apartment where I live alone for a week, binging and purging all day long. I do not feel I can stop. I do not feel I can talk to anyone about it. I have told one friend, she has been supportive but I do not want to bother her. I am here because I need to say it out loud. Say my actions out loud so that I can perhaps stop them.

Has anyone else every been in a rut like this and have they gotten out?

hey u sound just like me. I have been screwing up bad and i don't know what to do either and it's so embrassing to even post. i broke all the plumbing in our house last weekend and i kno my husband knows what's going on and is so mad and wont talk to me. i'm worried he's going to leave and take my daughter if i don't get better. sorry you are suffering so much right now. hugz & luv,

Hello. I am sorry that you are going through this now. I have been and am still in a situation such as yours. I did manage to stop years back because of the help of a really good friend. However, with my friend now gone, I am back to doing this all over again and do not know how to stop. I am currently in this rut because I was informed that I was putting a few pounds on. Do you talk with a therapist about this? Do you know what triggers these ruts for you? I am also sorry that you are having to deal with this now and I'm sending you big hugs.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.
I can definitely relate, I've gotten caught in day-long cycles that lasted for weeks.

The first step is usually forcing yourself to stop purging. Having to sit through the discomfort makes you more likely to think twice before you binge again.
I know its easier said than done, but see if your friend is willing to do some things out and about with you or just come over and keep you company. Its eaiser when you're not alone.
Good luck doll!

Embrace yourself and your responsibility to yourself to get help. Don't end up like be: no teeth, can't chew with the lousy dentures, can't talk right, and I'm constantly, incessantly chewing on my mouth. The purging has stopped. That's the MOST important thing. I still have the disorder but the purging has stopped. Do it for yourself before you do lasting damage. The love of a man moved me past the purging behavior. I couldn't be that way for him.
