I've been on disability for the last three years but am now looking for work. It has been very discouraging. Very stable with my bipolar but am having trouble with my bulimia. I am diabetic and about to go on an insulin pump with a continuous glucose sensor. Would like to hear back from other diabetics with bulimia and/or bipolar.

Hug
Hey, did you end up going? I am assuming yes, since I haven't seen you around here. Good hard work ahead of you.
I’m With You
You are beautiful, lovable, and capable. I am with you 100% and you can message me anytime if you need it, or even just want to. You are strong and you are going to get past this.
Hug
I'm just really glad that you're some place safe tonight and are not all alone. Hang in there... it sounds like treatment (and hope) are right around the corner for you.
Good for you for reaching out to people when you're feeling so bad; it shows me you'd really prefer to stay alive, and thank goodness for that!
All the best to you. I really feel your desperation.
XoOXx
Hug
I'm sorry you're feeling so down ... I'm thinking positive thoughts for you and I believe you can make it through this.

I have bulimia and will hopefully be getting an insulin pump to help manage my diabetes. The problem is that my doctor doesn't know that I'm bulimic and I'm afraid that if he finds out he might not get me the pump. I am desperate for help for my bulimia and for control of my blood sugars.

- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Therapist says that ED is a symptom of self-loathing and the weight issue is only something that is focused on and not the main issue.
