Does anyone else have insiders who have ED's?

If you do, do they write in the ED's forum. Seems like people wouldn't understand. I have one who binges to feel numb (and to stop the crying voices). She doesn't care what she looks like. She just wants to feel numb and for the crying voices to stop. She says if she feeds them, they quiet down.
and another who says she will die before she allows 'the body' to get fat. She purges and restricts and tries to get everyone else to restrict. She's made some believe their food was poisoned and calls us all fat pigs for eating.
They are both around the same age, one is 12 and one 13.

Yes I have this too. I have a binger and then a binger and purger and then also a restricter. My parts can go away for years. I don't know if that happens to anyone else. But boy was everybody happy when I suddenly recovered from my very serious, almost killed me, bulimia. Except that I don't even feel like I can own that or accept it as mine. It was like one day she was there and the next she vanished. And everybody was shocked why I wasn't in eating disorder clinics every other month anymore. I was skeptical and then I diagnosed with DID and it all made sense to me.

I still don't know what made her "go away". But most recently my binger has been out. She'll eat so much food and I feel so sick afterwords. And then I saw my doctor the other day and he told me I was prediabetic. She's vanishing slowly also. Now I have to force myself to eat. I have no more sudden urges to binge. It's so weird. But it seems like it takes someone saying "you're going to die" and the entire DID system believing it before the entire system takes action and stops the part from doing harm. I mean our systems are there to protect us right?

As far as writing in the ED forums, those parts themselves wrote in like the somethingfishy forum (for eating disorders) just fine, but it would be very very awkward for me to show up there and pretend to belong.

Eating problems are also listed with DID. It's all so wonderful.

Lydia, my parts who have the Eds also seem to come and go. So there are good periods when things seem to be okay.

The one who restricts has a rule: she won't let the body go over a certain weight. If it does, it seems to trigger her out.

take care

I have eating disorders as well, and I do post in the eating disorders forum sometimes. Sometimes I find it too triggering though, so I usually only read things there if I'm feeling well.
If you were wondering if it's okay for you or for parts to also post in the ed forum, I think the answer is yes. You're welcome to participate in any forum that you feel is helpful to you, or where you may be helpful to others.
