I have one fake tooth and one missing. Tons of cavities and no more enamel on my teeth. My dentists asks why and I tell him I eat a lot of hard candy. He must think I'm an idiot. Also, it's been 7 months since I had a period. It could be that I was on birth control on and off for ten years, it could be my prolactin levels from my AP. Or it could be my ED. I just want my period back so I can be healthy and someday have a kid! Oh and total years on ED, 13 years of binging and purging straight.

Well, I'm tearing my family apart. They cry over me way too often. I feel like I am toxic to them and should leave. They often tell me they fear I am going to go too far and die, and I really can't say they're wrong. Sometimes when I'm expected to eat and pressured a lot, I cry and just wish I could completely disappear. My hair is falling out, I am covered in bumps and bruises from passing out, hallucinations getting really bad, I get so dizzy that I temporarily lose my sight and hearing while my face and extremities go numb, and now my heart is often skipping beats. I haven't had the energy or will to leave the house for a long time. I lost count..

I get the skipping heartbeat too and it scares the crap out me. Or I get dizzy when I stand up too fast. I left home the min I turned 18 because my dad was pissed and said I'm eating them out of house and home. My brother cries and says he's scared someone will find me dead next to the toilet. He had a friend who's sister died at 17 from a heart attack from her ED. The thought of that scares the crap out of me.

I have a denture for 3 teeth that I lost due to my ED, I also have Osteoporosis, not had a period in almost a year, bad circulation in my hands and feet, downy hair over my body due to feeling constantly cold, dizziness, anxiety and constantly tired. My hearing goes funny and my eyes blurry when I stand up quickly and I hate going outdoors because I hate people staring at me.

Well, I have other physical health issues that cause some overlapping problems, but...
After years of denying myself food I've noticed that I just....don't really feel hungry anymore, usually, which makes it really difficult when I'm trying to get better about eating.
Since I don't feel hungry, I kinda....forget to eat.
Which then can cause anything from me feeling nauseated and dizzy to having my vision start to close in on me.
I've also noticed that after so many years that sometimes if I don't eat for a prolonged period of time, especially if I have to be up and about that I get stomach acid creeping up in my throat.
I also have some heart issues which are in part due to a physical illness, but my specialist has been wondering why it hasn't been getting better, and I can't bring myself to tell her why...
And of course, a very irregular menstrual cycle.

My ED just started in April of this year. I was 209 pounds now I'm 109 pounds.
First my PCP was concerned about the rapid weight loss. Asked me if I ate. I said like a horse. So he admitted me to the hospital in June and ran a ton of tests. Found out my gallbladder was dead. Had that removed. My blood tests are all over the place and lately I've been having problems with my medicines because not eating or hardly eating. I was very upset in October and over dosed on my medicines and had seizures. I never told anyone I took an overdose, they just say it's other things. No one had ever asked me about an ED so I never said anything. Recently on a medicine review my psychiatrist asked me if I had an eating disorder. She is the only one who asks. My family does tell me I need to get meat on my bones. I wear a little girls size 10 pants I still feel fat.
Sometimes my son accidentally grabs my jeans thinking they are his. He is 8.
The last 4 months I have spent a total of a month in the hospital.
Honestly though, I can never ever go back to my big self..

I am thankful that it didn't do anything though it had many chances to. It didn't seriously hit me until I was in my 40's so all my bones & everything had developed by that time in my life. I was in & out of the medical hospital so often for a few years, but luckily nothing caused any permanent damage though I don't know if the migraine started at the point when the ED got bad....but migraine was the side effect of all the psych pills I OD'ed on also so who knows what I might have messed up doing that more than anything I messed up with the ED.

My teeth were messed up from the antibiotics I had because I was so sick at the time of my life when those teeth were forming.....great...I had all my teeth removed the beginning of this year because they were all breaking off because of the bad enamel.....only problem I can't tolerate dentures because my mouth is so small & I do have a horrible gag reflex....but I never got into purging because I couldn't stand to throw up because there were times when it was so bad being sick that I burst blood vessles in the whites of my eyes & they ended up totally red & my face was speckled with little red pin dots where the little capillaries burst from throwing up....obviously it wasn't going to be something I would constantly want to do
