Q: Skipping Class.. Again

I'm new here.. however, not new to bulimia. I've been sick now for about 7 years... and I am SOOOOOOOOO done with it!!!

So, I'm a senior in college, and I have two quarters left before I graduate. I sit here in my bed, skipping class because I no longer have the motivation to walk to the bus and go to school. What's wrong with me????

It's not just that... my work out routine used to consist of going to the gym 4-5 days a week, which has took a turn for the worse-- I now go *maybe* 2-3 times a week, pretty much just to stare at the machines and leave.

Oh.. and this one is HUGE. I'm dating the guy of my dreams.. but I seem to be pushing him away lately due to my irritability level (it's out of freakin' control!!). He knows about my e.d., and clearly wants to help me. When we talk about it I get upset and tell him to leave me alone. I really do want to get better.. and I feel so bad for the way I've been treating him lately. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me, yet I keep pushing him away whenever we are together! AHHH! I try to keep motivated and think positively, but it's so hard when all my nutrients have gone down the drain (literally!).

Does anyone seem to lack motivation and are as highly irritable as I am?

I go through periods of throwing up every day, to throwing up once a month. I don't use my fingers to throw up, it just comes up naturally-- i eat foods that i know wont tear up my throat.

and I'm doing it again... this is not a good trend. I'm so mad at myself for not going to class today. I only have 3 weeks left and I can't even manage to push myself for 3 more weeks. I really don't know what to do you guys!

You know.. it might sound crazy, but i'd MUCH rather be out there in the real world!!! I do really well when I'm back at home with my family and boyfriend (not at school), I don't b/p at all.

The skipping class thing is due to my bulimia.. it's messing me up in more ways than one. I just talked to my mom about it (was really hoping I wouldn't have to tell her I'm b/p again..) and she's driving 2 hours from my hometown to come and stay with me for a few days to help me get back on track. I really hope this helps. I don't know what I would do without my family at this point. My friends, well, aren't really friends. Thanks for listening guys Smile

I'm glad you have a supportive family. i couldn't tell my parents. they would just tell me i'm whinning or begging for attention. They have this tough love thing going on. Maybe that's what you need more of.... and I need more support. there should be a happy medium somewhere, right?
