For thsese past couple weeks I've been vomiting after every meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner), eatig nothing else during the day, excersicing 3 days a week for 2-3 hours and I have the constant need to keep moving and shake because of my anxiety... As a result I've lost over 5 pounds and people have noticed "I've lost a lot of weight lately".
I don't need to use my finger or any other technique to vomit, I just can't handle food anymore. Today I wasn't able to do it much as we had to leave short after breakfast to the hospital because my brother's son was being born. And I wouldn't be able to use the restaurant/hospital's bathroom for like half an hour after lunch without people getting suspicious.
Now I feel full and I don't like it. I don't care much about body image but I got so used to feeling empty that I hate being full and satisfied.

Do you see a therapist or counselor? What about a support system? Reach out to them. Support is so important, especially when we are having a hard time.
You can also private message me on here if you ever want to talk or vent. I am on here a lot and am always here.
Hang in there. Have faith that things can be better for you, and they will be.
Because you've been starving your body for so long it will naturally feel horrid and uncomfortable to eat food. But long term for your good health's sake I know that you will know that what you are doing is hurting you and your body. Do you have medical support from your doctor?
Please seek help as soon as you can. It's a lonely, scary journey by oneself.
Take care, Kim x
