Bulimia

Quote From: nothing276

Hey everybody:) I'm "new" I'm 16 years old and have been suffering from Bulimia Nervosa for two years now.I also suffer from trichotillomania(excessive hair pulling)

Recently I have been referred[by my counselor to an Out-Patient treatment program at the children's hospital .... even though I do not want to gain weight I know in the back of my mind it's the best thing for me. My only true worry is that I will begin to restrict, since I know I can not purge and that will lead to more problems.I understand that food is only an object, which is why I don't grasp the concept of it being what I use to cope with my emotions... I'm so confused

Anyways, thanks for reading...

hello i am hisjewel!!! I am going to be gone for a bit but will be back and hope to have sometimes to talk with you!!! I am so glad that you are doing what you are!! I want you to know I am proud of you for taking a step to go into an out patient treatment program!!! That is awesome!!! That takes a very strong person!! You know what don't think ahead and don't think behind think of now and what you know you need and about how you want your life!!! If we get stuck on but what ifs then we stay stuck in this horrible addiction!! I believe in you, you can do it!!! If you feed you then it kills away this eating disorder that is trying to take over you but if you odn't then it feeds the eating disorder and it will grow and grow. I know that you are confused but keep pushing forward i believe you can do it!!! you can look it right in the face and say no more you don't belong to me and i don't belong to you!!!! As you keep doing things it will slowly begin to process and make more since about the emotions just give it time!!!!

Hello, I'm maureen,

I'm probably the last person on this board to offer advice to anyone as I have only recently started to come to terms with what I suffer from and am still awaiting to recieve treatment for it and even that thought does not carry much hope in me....however if nothing else, I can say this..............For gods sake TAKE whatever treatment they are offering you and take it NOW!!!! This illness has cost me friends, jobs, relationships and almost my life...and even that still hangs in the balance......23+years of pure hell ............if you do no other good thing for yourself in your lifetime then take and heed the following words.........................DO NOT END UP LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
