  I stopped purging for 8 days and went from 97 pounds to 108 pounds. I do feel bloated after eating. I ate some butternut squash, drank lots of water because I was dehydrated so I rehydrated (I took it too far with the water) before getting weighed plus I hadn't had bowel movements in days. Is this normal?

  I'm starting to worry because I stopped purging but I'm still losing a lot of weight even though I'm eating more because I feel a hungry lion all the time even after eating. I also have other symptoms such as feeling very thirsty, going to the bathroom like every 10 minutes, having no energy, and increased irritability. My friend who is diabetic wanted to check my blood sugar because she was concerned and it was 500 but at the same time I have been drinking a lot of juice lately so it's...

  I take Latuda, no weight gain, but I'm still having psychotic episodes. I took Seroquel (I think can't really remember what medication) when I was misdiagnosed as bipolar and it helped a lot with hallucinations and paranoia but I stopped taking it because it made me gain weight. I have an eating disorder and weight gain is one of my biggest fears that's why I'm scared to seek help because I have seen shows where they force you to gain weight. Is there any other medication that won't cause...

  I take Latuda which hasn't caused any weight gain in my experience but at first it was working great but now I'm starting to get manic, depressive, and psychotic episodes again (I have schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type). But I'm worried to try other meds because I have an eating disorder and one of my biggest fears is weight gain. I remember my first medication I believe was Seroquel and it worked very good but stopped taking it because I gained weight. Maybe in the meantime I should make...

  My doctor wants to check my electrolytes

  Lately my dissociative and psychotic symptoms (from schizophrenia and depersonalization) have gotten worse. My doctor thinks it's because of electrolyte imbalance due to bingeing and purging. I'm worried about all the damage bulimia is doing to my body and mind.

  Ed = eating disorder (in my case, bulimia)Al = alcoholism, or alcohol use disorderMet = mental illness (in my case, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia)All of them are ruining my life, because of the stress Ed and Met give me Al is coming back and I don't want that. Hopefully Dre (drug addiction or abuse, which was also my past inner demon) doesn't come back because that will ruin my life even more.

  Sometimes I get episodes of feeling both depressed and manic symptoms (such as high energy and agitation) at the same time. During this time I also get very paranoid and hear voices (I have schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type). I am so confused.
