bulimia
no, im not clinically diagnosed.
im really sure how it happened, past experiences, and then i used to self harm and have kind of swawped self harm with ED. ive always had probs with food, either not eating or then eating too much and being sick. just never this bad or this long.
my family chose to ignore it, if its not there its not real. if we dnt talk about it then it will go away. i kind of understand why they think that, but it makes it hard sometimes,
i have in the past tried diet pills, but i dnt take any now. i just excercise more.
hope this helps

1)anorexia/bulimia
2)Yes, but my group counsler
3)I suffer from an ED because for some reason that is the way I choose to cope with things, in a unhealthy manner, there are multiple people in my family with ED as well, and my father who called me fat and gave me a weight limit and so on...im guessing those are the main points on why. And of course media, they never help!
4) no other psych issues
5) Well, my father contributed alot to it, my mom and twin had ED, and my family never acknowledged my ED. Long story....
6)Yes, I used to take ephedrine
7) never been in IP treatment
8) I have had an ED for about 13 years or more, and I am finally ok with myself. I have struggles every now and then, but I am more stable than i ever have been in 13 years

orthorexia, anorexia

Yes, just this week

I have no idea- trying to figure that one out. Passion for exercise and healthy eating seems to have just gradually taken over my life

No other psych issues, a little OCD but not close to diagnostic level

Family does not know. I am a single mom with younger daughter. Family will not acknowledge a problem, just think I am too skinny

No diet pills just adivd excercise and in depth calorie counting

One day into out patient treatment- very expensive.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Well started life as an anorexic and quickly resorted to bulimia aged 14/15. there were other problems sexual abuse in childhood, depression playing truant from school feeling isolated etc. Then carried on with it in a severe form, until a psychiatrist 'discovered' and named bulimia. by that time had other addiction problem alcohol became a problem in my thirties and nobody would treat me for bulimia unless the alcohol was dealt with. So eventually got some CBT at about 40 which didn't really help much except in a practical sense for a while. It never addressed the emotional issues. Since then I haven't had any treatment for it, at the moment diagnosed with psychosis, and dealing with that seems the priority.
The medication slows my system down so I use copious amounts of andrews liver salts, which of course feeds into my bulimia very nicely thankyou.

sorry to answer your questions a bit more I have panic attacks linked to being in closed spaces particularly restuarants and somemes in the checkout in supermarkets.
M diagnises have been ptsd and major depression, there was a lot of suicidal attempts associated with this in the past.
Two sisters with compulsive eating problems.
My family have mainly ignored ithe bulimia, my mother thought I was disgusting in the past, which was kind of how I felt after a childhood of sexual abuse. I think it is related to self hatred and how you experience yourself in your body, in my experience at least and also habit a very hard habit to break.. Also an emotionally based disorder strongly linked with depression and coping with depression.
I speak only for myself and my perception of how it is .
