New Here
Hello, Im new here. I am 22 years old and have been struggling a lot with my ED. When I was young I started throwing up after I ate to keep my weight down. I went through a period of recovery and did not throw up for a while. I love food, I love to eat and try new things but recently I have been trying to control my weight. Im about 115 which isnt by any standards bad but I feel absolutely terrible about my body. So whenever I eat a lot or pass the point of being full I sneak off to the restroom and throw up. I havent told my partner or anyone for that matter. This is the first time Im openly saying it. I want to get better, I want to stop overeating and then throwing up, I try to eat well but sometimes I go overboard. Im just looking for advice or some support. Thank you.
@averylazycat Welcome! It was brave of you to share especially since you haven't told anyone else. I hope you find that this is a supportive and safe community. I hope to see you around here more!
Thank-you for being generous with your sharing. I know that's some shameful stuff for you, but you were brave to write it and send it out there. Good for you! It may feel shameful but know that it's just you struggling with your challenges. Maybe you're trying to figure out your place in the world. Can you explore what triggers you? Can you look at what purpose the B/P is doing? If you're still doing it, it's serving SOME purpose. Figure out what it is and then meet that need in a way that honors you mind and body. You got this!
