reason help: i have an eating disorder and i just binged and tried to purge. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

i have an eating disorder and i just binged and tried to purge.

i’ve not been eating for awhile, and today i got stressed out and just binged on a lot of crap. now i feel like **** and i tried to throw it up and i couldnt.
i’ve done it before, but for some reason this time i couldnt get it up.
it was the most awful feeling with my face in the toilet with my fingers jabbed down my throat and none of my horrible sins i just ate would come up for me.
my eyes are bloodshot and there are fluids dripping out of every opening in my face.
all i ended up getting out was a lot of mucus and a couple of blood spots.
now my chest hurts because there is a bunch of food in it that i nearly threw up (but i cant). it’s stuck in there.
and i’m all shaky too.

i know this is bad, and i need to get help. i’ve posted about it before on help.com.
but i’ve never not been able to purge and then have these after effects. like the blood spots (really tiny ones), and the shakyness and the pains in my chest.
what’s wrong with me right now

(other than the fact that i have an eating disorder and i need major help.)

I guess the first thing that you could do is get to the docs, hospital or somewhere. if you have blood spots coming up it would be good to get that checked out. when the jews and others were found in the concentration camps in germany and austria etc, they were literally starving to death adn yet the army were told not to feed them cos that could kill them sooner than help them live.
you need to know that so perhaps get to the docs and explain what is going on.
in regards to the eating disorder, how about finding out the root of the problem, the disorder is a symptom not a problem in itself. but i guess you are asking for wahts wrong with you right now.

i dont really purge that often. i’ve dont it on and off for a short time. i dont think it would be enough to make my gag reflexes to dull.
and this was the first time i’ve tried to do it in a few months because i’ve been doing so good with NOT eating.
what are the loads more?
i wouldnt want to make you sit here and tell me ALL of them if there are a lot. is there i site i can go to or something?

whats the reason that feeding them would kill them sooner?
…i wish i could go to the doctor, or get treatment, or something, but not i or my family have the money to do so. we dont have insurance or anything either. not that my family knows about this or anything.

thanks for your help so far, both of you.

yes i eat when im upset.
when i dont eat i think that everything is fine because of the fact that i know i eat when i’m upset. (did that make sense?)
it’s always different reasons. and i’ve sat and thought long and hard about what causes these sorts of things to happen to me. and there are a few.
i know why i have a preoccupation with my weight and with food. i know why i hate myself when i eat. i know what makes me sad and upset.
the problem is making those things go away.
you may think i’m starving for food, but really, i’m starving for attention.
i want to love myself. and the funny thing is, everyone around me would call me the most confident person with the best head on her shoulders. always happy. always laughing, and always smiling.
funny how things arent always what they seem.

Hi, I am a certified paramedic, the blood spots you are seeing are from damage to the lining of your esophagus. Your eyes are red because of the increased blood pressure to your head when you are forcing yourself to vomit. You can cause further health problems by “not eating”, and you can become mal nurished. I won’t ask you the reasoning behind this. But, if you don’t get some food variety into your system it won’t be good, and not eating isn’t going to help either. This condition is what’s known as bulimia, long term this can be life threatening. Pm me if you would like to talk in private I would be more than happy to help in any way I can.

it could be because you didnt drink enough water or liquid when you were eating = it didnt come up easily. not that im trying to give tips. i had to go into hospital because of this it seriously damages your body

I have just got in from a night out. I went out for a meal with my friends. I tried to pretend like everything was fine and eat like a normal person, but I couldn’t, I ended up leaving most of my meal. Luckily my friends know I’m fussy and just assumed I didn’t like it, and two of them ended up finishing my meal between them. When I got home I felt hungry and had a yoghurt, now I feel fat and sick and wish I hadn’t. I hate it and wish I could just eat without feeling guilty, but I don’t want to get help, because then I won’t be in control of what I eat anymore.
