A purge stopped

deleted_user

I binged really horribly, and for some reason I couldn't even purge it, like my body was holding for all that food for dear life-it made me so upset. I'm feeling like shit, like I'm the worst person in the world. Like i never want to eat again. And then my head had a strange pinching feeling, like an abrupt headache....is this is a side effect from purging?
Is my body telling me NO. I don't understand why this has happened, and Im wondering if any of you have had the same issue...

Sad, Alone, and probably the worst week of my life.

This used to happen to me occasionally. I understand how you are feeling. I would lose my mind when this happenend. The headache may be from stress or blood sugar spike? I'm not sure, but try to rest and relax. I hope you are seeking help and maybe can use this as a turning point.
You are not alone, please message me anytime!

I know when I bunged I just felt horrible after! just horrible, all the sugar, the bellyache... but it would pass and the next day I would know I was ok... I wouldnt die from it and I would move on... until the next binge that is !

try to forgive yourself... and try to get well.

Yes, it's a terrible feeling BUT it's a definite signal that your body has had enough. Good for you for listening to it. Relax. When you're ready drink a lot of water. It'll help keep things moving. It may not feel good right now but you will realize that one binge isn't going to kill you but one purge might. Be good to yourself.

Purging is so hard on the body especially one that is weakened by ED anyway. So I think that pain is telling you it's time to stop this behavior. I know that's easier done than said but you could easily have a stroke or a heart attack.

There is nothing worse than binging and not being able to get rid of it. It is awful. It makes you not want to eat for days. My body won't do it anymore at all no matter how hard I try nothing works. Let me know if you need some support Love Kelly

This has happened to me before. I wish I could tell you why but I dont know either. All I know is that it has be happening for some reason. It will be ok though. Your body is probably appreciating that food right now!

That has happened to me before and it really made me mad! But fortunately I was kind of able to take it as a signal that my body was getting really screwed up and I've more or less stopped purging now. The aftermath of a binge without purging is really hard (I know because that's what I'm experiencing right now!) but you can get through it, and in the long run you will feel better and be healthier if you don't purge. It's going to be OK!
