I'm Fighting to Stay Alive.
Posted: 12-10-07 21:36pm

I've been diagnosed as bulimic. Less then a week ago. When they told me that because of a direct effect of bulimia I have heart arrythmia, torn heart tissue, and my heart was so weak I could have a heart attack anytime. But, we can't afford treatment. Today is one of my worst days. But, at the same time a really good day because I stayed strong.
Today I have,
Passed out,
Been so weak to walk,
Slept 9hours out of the 13 and 1/2 I've been up.
Puked stomach acid up,
Chest hurt to the extreme (but it always does),
and when I passed out I could barely breath.
But, I'm hurting so bad I think I'm going to go to bed now.
I'm scared I won't wake up. scared

Please, please use whatever energy you have to get help. Ask the doctor who diagnosed you for a referral to a county mental health program. The feds give money to most counties to help people out who can't afford it. Also, google for eating disorder support groups in your area. You may find a lot of help there. Even if it's for anorectics, not specifically bulimics, the mental issues leading up to it are the same.
Hang in there, don't give up!

I went to health therapy through a North Key program. Try them.

Please Don´t Do It

Please don´t do it anymore...face your demons, you can make friends with them and compromise. I did it and I m getting better. I m anorexic and I can´t just stop thinking about food and how to avoid it. But I m not going to loose this battle. And u can´t give up. Fight yourself. I began almost 2 years ago to practice kickboxing and I m a blue belt now. If I don´t eat I wont be able to hang on to my belt and keep on training for the next one. Beat yourself up, it hurts but it will keep u awake. Don´t loose this battle against you.
