Bulimia - Research. Help Please. Posted: 02-28-06 15:18pm
Hello - i'm a 16 year old female who is
currently studying drama at a level.
As part of my devised piece - I am playing
the character of a bulimic. I need
someone to help me understand how it felt
suffering from this disorder as I am
clueless.
This may be a painful and frustrating
subject for some sufferers but I know that
many people are here to help people - as
they have been through the same problem.
Any help and stories/info is very welcome
thankyou :)

I am 25 years old I am 5 foot 7 and 8
stone I am sick every day. I have been
bulimic for about 13 years now. I know am
not fat am scared of putting on weight. I
wish I had boobs I am so flat chested. It
all started being called fat and that I
was not very good in any of my sujects at
school. I feel alone and a failure. I
hid the fact I had a ed for years my
sister would hear me in the bathroom.
Then we would aurgue and she would shout
it out I would say she was being stupid.
I would hide behide my smile it was all an
act. Then I went out with a lad that put
me down all the time then my brother died
and every little thing that happened after
that was like the end of the world I hated
my self. I feel that nobody loves me and
am depressed all the time. I would go out
every weekend on the drink that made
things worse as it made me more depressed.
Then I meet my lovely husband in 1999 and
got married 2004 of course my eatting just
stayed the same as its a habit and I cant
get out of it its so hard. I am wanting
kids now but only have periods every
couple of month. Maybe if I got pregnant
I would stop beeing sick.
Hope your drama level goes ok and stick in
at collage. Good luck x

Knew someone who was bolemic

and his muscles wared away cos he lost so
much weight
it discolours teeth and erodes them

So... Can anyone tell me what sparked off
their bulimia?
Does anyone feel pressured by all the
media and celebrities trying to stay thin?
Or the constant diet plans sprawled
across magazines?

Err, not sure if it will be much use to
you given i'm a bloke.
I started making myself since I was 14,
yup, the age were most people are there
most vulnarble, worried about their
apperance and what others may think of
them.
I became isolated and depressed at school
and ate, alot.. Eating made me feel
better but quite soon I felt guilty so I
started throwing up. So, i've been doing
that for 4 years (with periods of
stability where I stopped followed by a
re-lapse- I had stopped in feb05 and
started again on the 21st of dec 05).
In the four years i've done this people
have said i've lost weight, I keep doing
it, and my folks don't know and they
comment on what I eat and call me fat (i
know its jokingly) but when that happens I
binge and throw up.
If you want to link this to bullemia,
think of a time where you have felt
isolated and not in control, imagine
watching yourself from above (as if an
outerbody experience) doing something you
don't want to do but can't stop it).
Also, if you've drank whiskey/vodka/40%+
drink and it burned you throat, thats the
feeling you have in your throat after
doing it.

Myself And Bullemia Posted: 04-21-06 13:44pm
I know this isn't anything to be excited
about but I have just recently started to
loose alot of excess weight and I believe
I might be getting very sick today I am
going to my dr's and I am worried. I
cannot keep and fliuds down not even sips
of water. I was doing coke and that I
think started my trip to where and how I
feel everyday. Ai have mixed emotions
about being bullemic and I am not really
sure if I want help right now. When you
take a pretty but overweight 24 yr. Old
woman and now she is loosing weight and
looking even better its hard to say its a
bad thing...... I am confused.... I
don't even eat and I am puxing and it
burns and feel's really bad but I look
good... I don't know what to do.!!!
