i'm sitting at my computer after a binge and i feel horrible. i feel like when i get a craving there is nothing i can do to stop myself. I've tried everything, from waiting 10 minutes, to taking a walk, to reading, but the cravings only get worse, i hate feeling like this. I know there are people who have recovered from bulimia, but at this point, the road looks a million miles long, and i'm already tired :(

yea there are people who recover from this ---but i believe the bottom line is youve got to REALLY WANT TO-!! and youve got to do whatever it takes to not give in to it the cravings urges like no matter what just becuz it "feels" like yA NEED TO does not mean its the right thing to do---we have to say NO to it just like someone whos trying to stop smoking or quit drinking---it truly is an addiction, an illness and we need to face that reality if we want to change or do something about it!!!By the way i too am sitting here at my desk after a binge /purge this afternoon...It might help to see talk with a counselor theres other issues going on that can bring on relapses in ED,s ---Hope you feel better-----

Kelly,
I am so sorry for what you're feeling as I too am sitting after a binge and purge. My throat is so SORE and I am tired, wiped out, just so wiped out! Although I am new to this site it feels better knowing others can relate to us as sometimes our loved ones can't. If you need to chat that would be nice!
Feel better, stay strong, use this site as a distraction to keep you busy while getting some support!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
