Today is the first day I have gone without bingeing and purgeing in a loooooong time.It's just, my parents are watching me extra hard all of a sudden and the last of my b/p food (that I keep stashed in my room) got used up last night and I didn't get an opportunity to go to the store to restock :(
So I feel like I am losing my identity as a 'Bulimic' and like I'm not worthy of the title anymore.
Idk, does anyone else use this as an identity substiute??

I never really have. Bulemia isn't an identity I've ever had to use...but schiz, BP, BPD and psychotic are definitely some of them. Apparently...control is another one. But I disagree.
But why do you write "So I feel like I'm losing my identity as a 'Bulimic' and like I'm not worthy of the title anymore."
What interests you? What do you like to do? What music do you like? Are you an artist? Do you like to sing? Do you like to write? These things make you who you are. My e.d counselor made me realize this. We are more than our eating disorder, and you are currently in a life changing situation to better yourself since you have evaluated the situation that you have with the bulimic identity issue.
