anna_thema Thank you so much for asking❤️. I fought really hard against the Bulimia and won my battle against it around june 2018 but since I wanted to stop bingeing and purging I developed the habit of not eating. The Bulimia turned into severe anorexia (I lost over 20 kg) where I almost had to go to the hospital. With lots of help from a psychologist and Dietitian I gained my weight back in august 2019 and I felt amazing!! I finally felt happiness and pride again. A lot has happened since that time and right now (since the last few weeks) I’ve had a little trouble with my thoughts but I know I’ll overcome them again. I’m very lucky with my mom and Boyfriend who support me through everything. But most of all I’m healthy and I’m going upwards! 😁

I'm so happy that I got out of the hell hole that is Bulimia. When I went vegan I told myself that this would be the moment I would change my life forever. I stopped restricting calories and immediately began eating 2,000-2,200 calories a day (without purging) and I gave my body time to heal. I learned to love my body because it's hard to get past the "bulimia bloat" stage but it's been two months and I haven't had a single urge to puke because in my opinion, the 'full' feeling you get from plant foods is no where near as disgusting as the 'full' feeling you get from animal foods. When you starve yourself then binge, you're more prone to eat animal products then have that greasy, gross feeling afterwards which will make you purge (in my case). Now that I don't eat those foods anymore, I don't feel the need to purge, starve, or take laxatives. My "recovery from purging" the first time (still eating animal products): -Lasted four months -My bulimia bloat lasted the entire time -I still starved myself and I still binged (I just didn't purge) -I had to fight the urge EVERY DAY -I still abused laxatives -I had no energy, I wanted to hide all day long -I was always in a bad mood no matter what My 'recovery' from ALL of it, the second time (vegan): -It's been two months (ongoing) -My bulimia bloat has almost completely gone away -I poop on my own 2-3 times a day -I never starve myself -I never have the urge to purge -I haven't used laxatives -I'm more active and have tons of energy -I'm way more happy than I've ever been -I learned to love my body I *do not* believe being vegan is the magic cure for eating disorders BUT I do believe it can be the easiest rode to recovery. With that being said, I believe you need to be in the right mind set in order to be on the rode to recovery (If you're not ready, a plant-based diet could make your recovery end because you'll see it as restricting even more which will bring you back to purging on animal foods). You need to be prepared to give your body time to recover from the punches it's received. You're going to have days where your confidence isn't up to par but you have to fight through that. Make sure you're ready to recover, that you actually want to fill up the void or else your "recovery" will end in a relapse. I hope every one who has this eating disorder saves themselves before it's too late and I wish you all the best, I know how tough it is.

I made a vid a few years ago listing things like that called "Bulimia ate my hair," but I wasn't especially serious about it. I used a lot of humor which I think offended at least one person but I lived with the condition and some consequences and was losing my hair, so I still feel its okay to make jokes about something you are personally living as long as its not aimed at making fun of the people living it.

Oddly relevant... A few months ago I relapsed and engaged for the first time in bulimic-like behaviours. I had never purged before and it felt so great but now it's starting to get out of control. Sometimes I get scared and think about telling someone and getting help. But at the same time I don't feel ready to actually do something about it... I hate this so much. I think another very scary, very important thing is the effects of electrolyte imbalances that purging can cause? I'm thinking of heart problems especially. Sometimes after purging I'll feel my heart strained, or a fuzzy ache sort of like a cramp, or just funny beats and chest pains... that's when I usually think "that's it, I'm not doing this anymore".

This is an awesome vid as more people need to know the reality that bulimia is hell. I've just turned 21 and been bulimic for 9 years. Recently I've been bringing up more blood than ever and I'm so scared, literally everything is red not just small bits anymore. Once I've binged I get so anxious I feel faint as I hate purging so much as my reflux is gone so I have to always use half a can of baking soda and 12 different sized toothbrushes to puke plus it takes me sometimes 2 hours. I literally collapse it's so exhausting. My body can't do this anymore and I hate it so much, I wish I could stop. When I was 16 I was sectioned and held down and tubed cause my anorexia took over but since then I've gained and relapsed again then had to gain for a operation otherwise they wanted tube in the last 3 years I've had 14 ops including a colostomy bag, ileostomy bag, catheter as pelvic floor keeps collapsing and prolapsing due to diet pills also. Heart problems, severe osteoporosis, anaemic and need ion transfusions often, my body is buggered up. My life is ruined me I'm just waiting for the time I don't wake up from a fall as my heart has said enough is enough. I've seen varies therapists but they have all given up in me. :-( I wish I didn't have this so much. If you can stop please do as I promise it will ruin your life, your body ect. I might not be able to have kids and I need another operation as another prolapse now outside my body. Life is no fun and all because of mia and ana.

I’m scared to recognize it but I think I may have bulimia...I don’t want to tell my parents and I also don’t know how to approach them and tell them I might have an eating disorder, but this video motivated me to stop.Thank you! All the comments make me feel better knowing I’m not alone.

I've been suffering from bulimia for more than a year now and in march 2015 things got extreme.. So i decided to get inpatient and talked to my therapist about it. She helped me to get accepted in one of the best clinics in Germany but now I don't know whether I should go there or not. First off, i stopped having my enormous binges (~10.000kcal, crazy I know) and I also started to purge way less. My last one is 2weeks ago and now I feel like I can make it myself and donvt need to go there. The other point that is making me want to quit this whole clinic thing is my family. They didn't even know what bulimia is and now that they do know about it, they tell me how stupid and fucked up I am. They say it's all non sense, that I just have to eat carrots all day ling and ride my bike more often and then things will be super duper good. They were sooo rude to my therapist, to my doctor and the psychologists at the clinic. They think I want to get hospitalized in order to lose weight, like wtf. My aunt is even offering me to go to Gran Canaria with her for a week in August so I won't go inpatient. The next problem is school.. I'd have to stay at the climic for 8 months but this means that I couldn't attend school then and it'd be my final year. So I'd quit the clinic after 3 months (in mid september) and go to school then. But I've heard that this clinic lets you go home after only 4months which means I couldn't go to school. I'd start the therapy there in early july. What do you think should I do? 😢😢 i hope you don't mind me asking

Thank you for sharing, I've had different types of eating disorders during during these past 6 years, started with anorexia, got help, developed bulimia, got help, then ortorexia and now bulimia again. I am trying to get real help now, once for all, I just want to get well again.. anyway I learned a thing or two from this video ❤️

I wanna stop but it has become an addiction. Every time I eat something my very first thought is that I have to go throw up . Today i served myself some cereals for breakfast but right after I thought I shouldn’t have them so I put them back in the box . Then I had some nuts and felt guilt after eating. Later I had some ice cream and I made myself throw up immediately because of feeling guilty . That was my day .

I have bulimia. This has been going about 5 months. I always wanted to stop but its so hard. i kept craving for food and i cannot stop myself from eating whenever i see food. I cannot control myself infront of food. All i want is to eat and eat everything what's infront of me. I won't stop until i feel throwing up. I tried to stop last week because i feel guilty about my mom cooking my favorite food for me but all i did is to waste it all and throw up everything she cooked for me. The thought of it makes me feel so bad. I kept wanting to stop but i just couldn't.

To be perfectly honest, the possible damage to my vocal chords is the ONLY thing that has kept me from outrightly becoming bulemic. I knew most of that thanks to my psychology classes, but it's always good to have a reminder. #katifaq Please do a video like this for #EDNOS . Thanks!

I have a problem but idk if its a disorder or what. You know that urge/need to eat? Mine usually occurs when I'm not doing anything or just bored or idk it just pops up in my head like 'hey you need to eat something even if you're not hungry or even if you just ate. Just eat something' and more often than not i give in easily. Because if i try to resist it then I would start feeling uncomfortable or annoyed? I would fidget and my toes would just curl in annoyance? lol yeah sounds funny but yeah that's what I do when im annoyed or uncomfortable, curl my toes to the extent that's it's hurting me. Immediately after eating, self hate always follow. I would then start checking every parts of my body. My arms, legs, tummy, the side of my face, chin, everything! I would literally check everything and that's when i'd start hating my self, start questioning every decision I've made in my life. It's like listening to your own brain yell at you "If you had not eaten you wouldn't have gained that much weight, if you had not eaten you wouldn't have looked this ugly. Yada yada yada yada.." *excuse my English, it is not my first language

after hearing these facts I feel ashamed of myself. I've been throwing up once a week since last December. but the problem is I don't think I can stop. I've only told one person in my life about this and my parents have no clue. when u mentioned it damages our vocal chords I was shocked because I'm a performer and from that I should stop but like i said I can't. i do it because i binge eat a lot and i dont like the way I feel with myself after and I'm not in a very emotionally balanced state of mind in my life right now.

I have been in the same boat and for me what makes me want to stop and keeps me clean for a while every time is the damage to teeth. I have been through so much shit with my teeth I don't want to waste all this effort. Sadly I can't give any real advice because I keep shifting around my problems, when it's not the purging it's something else equally destructing or shitty and I wouldn't recommend it. All I can tell you is try to find a source of support, a place to talk and share advice with others who are going through the same and understand. If you don't have such a place in real life try finding it online. For me at least it helped a lot to have a place on the internet to talk freely to people without being judged but understood, to people who share the same black humour about food issues, people who share their advice and experience to help you out and where topics like eating disorders or mental health are not associated with shame or secretiveness. It is also enourmously helpful to seek out 'safe purging advice' to at least limit the damage and of course educate yourself so you at least know what you're doing. I wish you the best of luck, stay strong and stay safe.

No because you are still eating and fasting is good, and since you are eating alot then fasting will give your body more time to get rid of it so you'll just stay as you are

I've considered myself recovered for 9 years, even though the urges never stopped I don't do them. But I think my vocal issues I have a from purging. I wanted to cry listening to this. My throats scratchy and I can't sing anymore. I did it to myself. Guess I shouldn't be surprised my body won't hold nutrients now either. I have to take a shot ton of vitamins or I get sick. And my iron is always now. Always cold to this day.
