      Type: Bulimia

      I have been fighting my eating disorder for 31 years. I started as anorexia at 13, turned into compulsive over eating and about 15 years ago turned into bulimia. So that is where I am right now. Bulimic 3 times a day & I mean full on stomach bloated to the point of not being able to fit anything else in. Each episode takes around 2-3 hours. Besides that, I am a wife, mother & school teacher. I have tried everything- psychiatrists, therapy, OA, in clinic stays. Nothing has any effect.

      Treatments

      Dietitian Consult Not Working
      They just wanted me to eat too much.

      Love group therapy. Did nothing.

      Not strong in this area & no real success cases to give support.
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      I am taking Lovan. It has gotten rid of the negative voices in my head. Stopped it for a few weeks to see what would happen & they came back.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Had not effect
      Residential Treatment Center Somewhat Helpful
      It was wonderful. I could live there forever. No pressures, no food preparation & lots of positive & supportive people. Did nothing when I got home.
