Bulimia is more controlling

Tw: purge, starving, weight

So I thought I had miraculously recovered. I was eating what I personally thought was enough and hadn't purged for a while.

A few days ago I purged again. And have been everyday. I replace all foods with cigarettes. And if I do eat it will go straight to the toilet.

I've lost a stone (honestly don't know how) in just over a week. I'm now in the "healthy weight" category for BMI and I seriously feel fatter than ever. I'm still determined to get back to a weight I was when I was little.

Work have commented on how much weight I've lost from them seeing me a week ago. Or as they out it "I was watching you walk around and noticed you've lost a shit lode of weight"

Obviously I doubted how much help support was. And how much I miss being able to talk to someone and share how I've been feeling with her...

Sorry.

    Obviously I'm in no position to advice, but I'm always here if you need someone to listen. I know how controlling bulimia can become, and honestly there is nothing I could say that would make it all better for you. I wish I could because it is such a destructive illness :( The only thing I can really say is if you truly don't feel you can eat without purging, then please make sure you're taking vitamins to replace the nutrients you are losing. Remember the vitamins can never replace food, but it's better than nothing for now and will help you keep your strength up.

    From experience I'd say don't focus too much on eating, have something small when you feel like you can. Even if it's just an apple. Once you've eaten distract yourself, go for a walk, get out the house so it's not as easy to just go and be sick. If you feel you can, speak to your GP. They might be able to offer you some nutrient drinks on prescription.
