My ED is so crazy weird it goes from one extreme to another. I starve myself for Weeks. Then I get in the cycle of binging/purgeing. Now the cycle is I can't stop bingeing!I know it sounds crazy but I tell myself I have to purge every time I binge but sometimes I don't purge after because so exhausted. I get extremely angry & at myself & so fearful that I failed & will get fat because I didn't purge it out. I feel so crazy.Does anyone else go through this?

Constantly. It's like I just can't find and maintain a balance. My parents don't get it though, as long as I'm eating they're fine, they don't seem to see that binging and restricting are BOTH ED symptoms. This is a very vicious cycle and I really feel for you. Message me if you wanna talk k?

Oh yes I am going through that right now. I am off to Bali for a holiday in 3 weeks and desperate to lose about 6lbs by then but I just keep binging and hating myself. I did 2 days at the weekend and was so strict and starting to feel thinner and now I am back to binging again and don't know why. I wake in the night with anxiety and swear I won't do it again and yet here I go again.......

I cannot count the number of times i have been in that cycle. Right now i am in the fasting cycle. Its like their is no happy medium or a balance. Its a hard place to be. And it seems like no one understands where you are coming from. Its frustrating, i know it.

Yes you guys totally get it!! Wow I thought I was crazy. Thank you so much for showing me I'm not alone. If there are people like us with this vicious cycle like you said Ghostgirl. Then there are probably people like us who have made it to recovery & made it on the other side...as in not struggling as much.right..? That gives me hope that maybe I can make it also.. I don't know if that makes since I think I just in journal mode.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
