Bulimia & Me

Bulimia is an eating disorder which is rarely spoken about in its rawest form. It is seen as a taboo subject with HUGE stigmas attached. As someone who is open about their struggles with bulimia, I aim to help change this.
This video aims to educate those supporting someone with bulimia about the challenges we face. I also hope it helps those struggling with bulimia feel less alone, whilst enabling them to understand themselves better.

I had no idea bulimia did not have to include making yourself s**k but could include lxtvs or exercise, this was a very informative point that I never hear anyone mention. So bulimia is actually the cycle thing/restriction cycle not just one specific action of purge.! Thanks x

Thank you for this comment, it’s so lovely to hear it has helped you understand things a little more! Makes filming it worth it. Always happy to help if you have anything else that would be useful to discuss! Xx

Can totally relate to ALL OF THIS, thank you so much for this honest video raising awareness and helping people feel less alone and ashamed of their behaviour ❤️ it really is such a horrible illness 😔

Thank you so much for your comment, knowing these videos are well received makes me glad I made them. Even if the topic can be difficult to talk about. Sending love your way. You will overcome it one day like I will too ❤️

Is it unusual that I haven’t overcome restriction or my addiction to exercise, but I don’t binge anymore because I gave myself permission to have whatever whenever? Also, is it unusual to go from bulimic to anorexic rather than anorexic to bulimic in recovery?

There‘s a german girl on KZbin who used to make videos explaining about her bulimia, therefore she was a healthy weight i would say. Now i‘ve seen her on another KZbin channel and is really underweight, she developed anorexia and she was talking about how she used to eat on in one day like an average person would eat in a week. It is possible and i believe you experience a kind of disgust or hatred toward eating that you just stop eating because that is what makes you recover from the binge and purge cycle

How soon after eating do you throw up/ how long are you throwing for
