Could somebody help me?
Hi, I don’t know if this is for the right place; if not I am sorry I’ve wasted your time. I have been struggling recently as I don’t thing I have bulimia, I don’t tend to binge eat or eat a lot of food in a small amount of time, but when I do eat I feel guilty about it which leads me to purge and aim to get it out of my system. It may only be a small portion but I still struggle. I just don’t know where I belong! Is this normal? Am I healthy? Do I have bulimia? Pleas help me.
@olibe1099 Hi there! I'd like to say that I'm glad you reached out for help/decided to talk about it. Before I go on, I'd like to tell you that I am not a professional, and I haven't experienced this. I also want to let you know that you shouldn't let me tell you what you have or diagnose you. I know a bit about some eating disorders so I will try to see if this helps. From what I know, these behaviours can be like anorexia (or bulimia nervosa). I'm not too sure about your situation, but perhaps you may be trying to lose weight or feel guilty for eating. You may say it's a small amount of food, but you're still struggling; which doesn't make you any less important.
I would like to show you support and tell you that it's okay, I know at the moment guilt can consume you causing you to purge. But let me tell you, it's not anything hopeless, and with time and patience, you can heal that behaviour. It may seem hard, but your relationship with your body and food can heal.
I hope I wasn't too confusing and didn't imply or say anything rude to you in the process.
Take care and stay strong love!💙
Sorry if I mispelled your username by the way
