Hello everybody!
I'm recovering from bulimia; last weeks I was well, I wasn't purging at all, and I was binging one time a week far away, my weight was ok (as far as my weight could be ''ok'' for me...)
But this week has been..a disaster. I binged about four times, and purged about two (not too much, but I was going so well, and now I'm so upset..)

I need to talk with someone who recovered from bulimia, someone who can tell me it's ''ok'' to relapse, and that everything is gonna be alright.

Tuesday I'll see my dietician, and I'm so afraid of the scale (I'm sure I got fatter)..

Right now I feel so guilty and hate so bad myself..I've just finished to eat kind of 2500 kcal..I won't purge, but I feel sick and really want to hurt myself.

thanks xx

ps..sorry for my bad english!

Hello fra1992 and welcome.

Take it from a recovering bulimic,it's not "ok" to relapse but it can be part of the process.

More often than not,while a person explores their feelings towards certain circumstances,the spiral ensues.As bulimia is a means of escaping the issue/s
at hand,it becomes a reliable albeit unhealthy means of coping.

Have you considered going to a therapist or seeing a prescribing physician?

Respectfully

Hi,

I have been one year and 15 days bulimia free. For an entire year, I saw a therapist every other week and he taught me coping strategies to use when I have a relapse.

Can you ask your D. to weigh you backwards? Does she now about your bulimia? Can you tell her that it is triggering to hear your weight and how it makes you feel?

hugs
