ive always struggled with body image, eating habits and before summer i lost some weight but still had body dysmorphia and was scared to gain back the weight and when i found out about laxatives i started to use them every single day, it felt so good and i did not know anything about it but kept using it. Then i started increasing my doses and taking more and more laxatives day by day, binging terribly because i felt like oh im taking laxatives anyways. Ive tried several times to stop but my body got so used to it and i got lazy colon and was super bloated and my body just can't digest anything. I've been abusing laxatives for 6 months. right now i don't know what to do and i feel so lost and i am wayy to scared to tell my parents. I geniuenly don't know what to do and i keep going and going and its a horrible cycle. Not only this but being aware of what it is doing to my body and the dangers makes me more and more depressed every single day and i just want to figure it out but without anyone finding out.

Yup it was fir me 🎉Here in Germany, it's called lisdexamfetamin. I switched from 30mg to 50 but still did not feel the kick .the only fabulous thing that kicked in straight away was a decrease in appetite. I lost 5kg in the last 6 weeks without doing anything 😅 I had a knee surgery, so I was pretty much sleeping or sitting. The typical me would be binge snacking, but I just don't feel like it anymore 😊 as to my adhd symptoms are there higher doses or will I need to switch to something else if I'm not seeing results?? I appreciate any helpful answer

I'm 23 and have had an eating disorder since I was 4 years old. The past few years I've stopped saying I have an eating disorder as I no longer binge/purge/starve but if I'm actually honest with myself I still have one. My entire mood and day depends on how I look. My biggest problem is that when I go to the store if I think about what I want to eat I get overwhelmed and literally nothing but Lettuce is healthy enough, so I really struggle to buy anything substantial. If I don't think then all I buy is sugar and dairy, just chocolate, pastries and cheese. Then I beat myself up about it and restrict.

This is rubbish…ask the person who has the Ed…there isn’t generic things not to say..every case is different and not everyone will react the same. Triggers are individual to each sufferer…and vary greatly between different Ed’s…anorexia is vastly different to Afrid etc

Restriction and diet culture ate nor always tge culprit. At the highest point of my ED, IE worked because I had been restricting. But to be honest, what motivated me was the fact that many intuitive eaters reported losing weight, and rgat has ALWAYS been my goal. I do not, can not and will never "accept" my bigger self. To me it feels like giving up. Sorry...not for me.

I was diagnosed with bulimia a few years ago as a freshman in high school. I still have issues whenever people make comments about my weight or my eating habits. Even a comment like you never drink water throws me off. I need surgery and I was so worried they wouldn't do it cuz of my weight it threw me into a relapse. I started to look at myself in the wrong way. I started reading calorie labels and being scared if it was over 100 calories. I hear laxitives do work but I fear it won't give me the closure I need

i dont have ADHD. at most maybe ADD. ive been on vyvanse for 5-6 months for BED. ive been having phenomenons where i get up from bed and I immediately get fast heart rate, blurry vision slowly coming on, cold sweats, nausea/salivate (i salivate when i need to throw up too). Im not sure why this is but i guess it could be the medication. but the medication truly is helping me because im so stressed all the time i end up eating everything. i am also really not interested in food when i have to cook. i dont eat when i have patients in office because the day goes by fast so i dont get hungry but then i crash at home. im getting help but my life is in such a rut in some ways. i am blessed in many. i want my family in Lebanon safe.

Thank you. Again, I stumbled upon this channel while looking up how to talk about my weight without it triggering me and having the doctor be able to work. I and my dietician both agreed on getting blood tests done to check on my progress. All that the nurse wanted to talk about was “weight gain” and how to loose it. It did not help having my lab results have high liver readings even though I’m eating healthy and enough for myself to feel full. I even asked to not have my weight be shown or read to me, yet the paperwork for my blood test and doctor summary had my weight in the biggest, boldest font. They put the reason for visit (it was a yearly physical) weight gain which made me so upset. Took me forever to even be tolerant of how I look and feel in my body and it made me completely relapse

Thank you. I have been working so hard to beat my restrictive eating and my recent visit to the doctor (who knows about this) that I was able to restore my weight. Nonetheless, the whole appointment was due to “being overweight” (not even 30+ on BMI not that I agree with this system)

I know this sounds weird however, I (a person with an eating disorder) get triggered when people comment on other people's bodies and weight. Is this normal?

It still bothers me because I'm still hearing about those opinions.

This is not true. Yes you can healthy at every size, but you can't stay healthy at every size. Usually, young people are still healthy despite their weight. It's like saying anyone can be healthy smoking. Yes, you can be healthy when you start smoking, but 10,20 or more years later, your health is in serious decay. I wish the best of luck everyone with your health journeys. Don't focus on the scale's number, but making healthy changes, eating vegetables, healthy sources of protein and no(or at least little) junk food. Remember, you got this and I believe in you! P.S the research behind obesity and negative health effects is overwhelming. One study I read, where the previously healthy obese people where checked up on later-to find all had severely degraded health relative to when they participated in the original study.
@ParallelWellness4 ай бұрын
Maybe you didn’t watch the full video and still misunderstand what health at every size means. The focus of the approach is on healthful behaviours - eating a variety of nutritious foods, moving your body, reducing stress, improving impacts of poverty, etc., rather than simply focusing on reducing body size.
@anonymousduck67354 ай бұрын
@@ParallelWellness with love. I believe you have the best of intentions. Health at every size is not true. Obesity is the largest cause of disease in the developed world. This is supported by endless studies going back over a centuary until today. Obesity can be caused by other ailments, however caused by another diseases or only an overconsumption of calories-it is still severly detrimental to your health. You can be healthy obese, but you CANNOT stay healthy. I wish it where not so, but the science is irrefutable. I used to struggle with my weight in the past. Now that i've gotten healthier through healthy habits like good food, exercise and sleep resulting in a healthy body fat percentage(bmi/scale are trash) I am full of energy, sleep well and feel great. to be blunt, healthy at any size is a fantasy meant to make people feel better about themselves. Please open your mind to the evidence that a healthy body fat percentage is important. There is no ideal body weight for anyone, but if you're obese-or worse-your health inevitably suffers. I love that you want to help people. But you arent helping people by telling them incorrect information.

So I don’t feel like I can talk with a professional, when I was 15 I was told I had major depression disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and ednos.. however when I brought the topic to my mom she said I had “munchies syndrome ” meaning Munchausen syndrome, also known as factitious disorder imposed on self, is a condition where people fake or create illness, injury, disease, abuse, or psychological trauma to get attention, sympathy, or reassurance. It kinda made me feel.. bad about myself to hear that maybe the doctors lied to me about ednos but told her I had this, and even years later I’m still struggling with disordered eating and my weight fluctuates sometimes I am happy and other times i truly hate myself, as well as when i watch a show or an episode of the show and it talks about eating disorders i kinda go into relapse mode, I do think it’s very understandable to think I am faking this because I used to go to proana websites and crave those type of things to “motivate myself”

It always breaks my heart to hear of people having a negative experience with the mental health system. You can book yourself a consultation appointment with most private care providers to determine fit and if you can trust someone. As an adult, your therapist should not be sharing your information with anyone else. If they suspect you may have fictitious disorder they should be telling you directly. Trust and respectful communication are the cornerstones of therapy. I truly hope you have a better experience if you choose to seek professional support again.

Hi Olivia! BMI is an inaccurate measure of a person’s health. Have you talked to you Mr medical physician about heart-healthy behaviours that may include diet and movement but also other important factors like sleep, stress levels, etc? Weight loss isn’t the enemy but diet mentality. You may be at greater risk of having disorder eating thoughts given your history that can make trying to lose weight risky for disordered eating. Have you considered working with therapist or dietitian experienced with eating disorders?
