Any addiction,!’m a recovering alcoholic and opioid addict, can involve relapse. I’ve relapsed numerous times but I don’t give up. The important thing is to never give up. I realize it’s harder for those with bulimia. I can quit alcohol and heroin but you can’t quit food. You have another life to think about. I know that doesn't make it any easier but the best thing I did was rehab followed by therapy. If you don’t want to go that route I understand but at least talk to someone. You can't do this by yourself.
This is a great accomplishment that you have achieved! Exactly, till now I was thinking that I can stop whenever I want if I really wanted but in reality it is not that easy 😟
I don’t think it was your fault, sometimes one can’t help his/her perspective. Depending on what you observe, your knowledge and what support you do or don’t have you will have a certain perspective. When I struggled (After the birth of my second son) I was also very unhappy with my life. But it makes since because it’s related to perspective. It took a long time but I finally feel free and have a different view of food, my body, and life. You aren’t alone at all.
I can totally relate to many parts, I used to also starve before bulimia, though I started throwing up cuz I was so sad my body would just refuse to keep in food. and the constipation part is true too like I used to get constipated for weeks at a time before I finally give in to laxatives. You are not alone in this, it must be hard to share this with the world, but you are strong enough to get through this, you are strong enough to recover, this disorder has taken up enough of your life and it is time to break up with it. It will be hard but you have enough strength to get through this!
It is nice to see that I am not alone. I never tried a group treatment where people sick from bulimia share their experiences. Now, when I am reading your message , I feel that I am not alone and there is another person that can understand my obsession about controlling my weight and all my struggles with food. Do you continue starving or now you are just eating everything what you want and then throwing up ?
@@dobba3608 when I was at my worst I would throw up over ten times a day, then about 6 months ago I attempted recovery and gained a lot of weight, but now I am relapsing and like I can understand how it is a daily routine cuz I also have that, like it is second nature! Nonetheless, I do know that they sooner the recovery, the better chances of not having really bad illnesses when like we are 50 years old and such.
@@arwazzzzzz3689 Yes this is what I am afraid of to get even more sick that I am now. I am sick and tired to have luck of energy every time after I throw up. Right now and for most of the time, I throw up around 3 times after every meal. I am trying not to do it in the mornings, but not always I am successful. Usually, I eat something small, but then I am hungry and I eat again and its a vicious circle ... During my pregnancy, I was so terrified that I will gain so much weight and I will never be able to loose it again. I had to put all my energy to convince me that it is ok to gain weight and later I will loose it but was very hard. Again, I felt like I don't have control over anything .. Is it because of the weight, you are relapsing?
@@dobba3608 Actually relapse is a stage in recovery that not all but many people go through, it is where you learn more about yourself. Recovery will not be easy but it is possible. My personal reason for relapsing is due to digestion problems and although I do take meds I have a lack of medical supervision. Also in bulimia recovery mostly we have to go all in (like eat to hunger no matter how much it is) tabithafarrar.com/2017/02/anorexia-recovery-eating/ or structuring your day to 5-6 six meals that you should eat at certain times even if you weren't hungry heal-ed.com/eat-regularly/ and it will help to read through this edinstitute.org/blog/2013/3/31/homeodynamic-recovery-method-guidelines-overview
@@arwazzzzzz3689 thank you for the blogs. I didn't know that relapse is a stage of recovery . I can see how less, I know about the recovery process. So nice of you to include the articles, I will read them tomorrow.
I went through rehab I won’t lie. I thought I could quit on my own to get off alcohol. I won’t lie. I have relapsed but I keep trying. The important thing is to get help before you die and forgive yourself but please get help you don't want your baby to be an orphan do you?
No, I don’t want! I don’t want him to witness all my struggle with food. Thank you for your encouraging words, it is nice to hearing them from a person who faced his fears and keeps fighting .
You need help if you’re binging and purging. Soon laxatives won't work and you’ll need enemas to go. The woman I told you has to have them and she Lost hr teeth.
