Hi /b/ How the fuck do i cope with an eating disorder?? This

Are you vomiting it all out or just not eating enough? I don't think you should be going to /b/ for advice. Try seeing a doctor. Living healthy is important to being healthy. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step. Good job anon.

Get medical help ASAP. See a therapist and ask them about cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), See a psychiatrist for antidepressants/psychotics that could aid in your recovery. If your health is being severely affected, don't be afraid to go to the ER or check into an inpatient clinic.

>"feel empty inside".
well you should try to eat something. that might help

>>716975818
No vomiting yet, but everytime I binge eat I feel the overwhelming desire to throw it back up as an attempt to take back what I've done

>>716975893
I am eating, that is the problem. I tried to just restrict the amount I ate so i could lose weight healthily but no matter what I eat I feel awful

>>716975983
No binge eating anon. Try to eat a bit for food throughout the day.

>>716976150
Emotionally or physically?

>>716976150
have you tried going to the doctor? he could prescribe you some pills to get appetite

Used to be bulimic. Lost like 20 pounds in a month.

>>716976230
I always try to stop eating, I used to be able to do it successfully but now after one day of starving I get the overwhelming desire to eat

>>716976244
emotionally

>>716976346
what methods did you use to make yourself throw up

do coke and adderall, you wont be hungry, and youll feel great

>>716976362
Coffee and cigarettes. Me too, with the not eating, but my girlfriend monitors me so i don't relapse. Do you have a gf, anon?
(Me btw)
>>716976346

>>716976346
I feel those feels, in recovery now, but man it's tough sometimes.

Get to your doctor asap as they can put you in touch with specialist treatment. Depending on your country there could be online resources? For when you're in a crisis or are feeling the urge to binge eat or purge.

>>716976362
As someone who also has emotional problems, I strongly recommend seeing a therapist. Low self-esteem is caused by habitual negative thought patterns, but it can be treated. Don't let work/school/whatever get in the way of this either. Your health is your #1 priority.

>>716975471
go to treatment or something faggot

>>716975471
go see a doctor you fucking b/tard.

Classic two fingers in throat. But in the shower because easier to wash off backwash. DON'T DO IT ANON MY THROAT LINING IS FUCKED UP AFTER 1 YEAR. LOVE YOURSELF AND FIND ANOTHER METHOD.

>>716976508
the only people that know about it are not exactly supportive.

does coffee really help? I heard it helps with weight loss but with the amount of calories I can't bear myself to drink it while I'm restricting

>>716976736
The support of friends/family can be nice, but you have to acknowledge that they're not experts

>>716976706
I don't want to start throwing up because the side effects are much more sever and easier to hide than my restriction method. I can control the urges but everytime I binge eat I feel that the only way to make up for my mistake is to throw up. I haven't done it yet because I know that once I try it I won't be able to stop

>>716975471
Get your shit together OP. I used to be depressive an i managed get back on the track.

Go traveling if you can, do some sport and GET OUT OF YOUR FUCKING HOUSE. Go to the cinema, go on bike rides. DO NOT SPEND YOUR TIME ON /B/ OR IN FRONT OF YOUR FUCKING COMPUTER.

Yessir. Try skim milk instead of creamer, no fat calories. And don't go on promia proana websites, they'll make you beleive you'll always be a fat fuck. (Even when I was at an average, lanky weight)

>>716976736
caffeine naturally suppresses the apatite. but if you put loads of suger its counter productive
. black coffee could help

This is true. But like I said, coffee cigarettes, and activities to keep you busy are your best bet. If you have a gf, ask her to help and remind you if you're gonna eat and what not

>>716975471

I heard that if you should displace yourself from the disorder. For example, give it a name.

>>716975471

I feel for you, op, so bumping with random photos

>>716976986
I only go on those sites after I eat to try to motivate me to keep on restricting

>>716977199
i need to find someone else to starve with. would be much better if I could at least talk to someone who understands. When i get too deep in my diet it takes effort to get out of bed, so activities would be difficult but I'll try that.

>>716977234
does not work, only makes me feel ashamed to not be skinny anymore

>>716977244
i am skinnyfat not complete fat fuck

My sister had an eating disorder when I was growing up and it tore our family apart. Don't be afraid to get help you need it or else you will never escape from it.

I don't want to be THAT anon, because Jesus he's annoying, but in this one case...

Try weed. I struggled with bulimia and weed helped me
1) not give a fuck
2) control my appetite

Anyways it's been a year and I either cured my bulimia, or it's really efficient self medication

Change comes from within. People who have gone to therapy may have noticed how it is billed to insurance, it's called 'insight therapy', because all they are doing is guiding you through this...there is no one thing outside of your persona that can really fix you, it is all in your own mind. Some of us have chemical imbalances that make it hard to 'act' like everyone else, but with some help we can find our own happiness. First, tho, you need to focus on the physical things that can hurt you like the eating disorder BEFORE you can address underlying issues

This is also okay. Had my friend starve, purge, workout with me too during my disorder.
>skinnyfat
Me too. big thighs, thin upper body

>>716977660
Thisssss!
I'm on CBD oil and smoke recreationally. My bullimia started at 7 so I need cannabinoids to get hungry. sucks.

>>716977742
Abe and Jeremy?

>>716977660
Every time I smoke I see myself as thinner than I really am. But it also makes me over think everything, so I start to believe that only the weed makes me see myself as that, and I still feel like shit and need to starve.

>>716977821
My bulimia ran from 14 to 22. Weed really did help... Like I dont remember the last time I made myself throw up

I think it jus reprogrammed how I eat

): hope you get better, it's a hard one to give up but your life can be way happier

Try chewing the food but spit it out in a trash can

drink lots of full fat milk

>>716978038
I still get urges because its pretty ingrained. But weed helps me remember to eat and that its something I need to do. If I eat little and often I'm normally ok.

>>716975471
You feel ineffective and not in control of some (or all) aspects of your life so you control the only thing you can (eating) and this depresses you.
Figure out what is fucking eating you (you cuck) and get on with your life. Try a 12 step program, it's free and will force you to confront your fears.
Been there with alcohol, same fucking thing.

I understand that it stems from control issues, but that doesn't make the problem any less present

When I tried to recover I just felt like eating made me lose control of the only thing I could control (my diet).

Restricting makes me feel like I have more self control than I actually do because I can resist food while everyone else cannot

>>716978082
yes

>>716978449
the dark triad of eating disorder, alcoholism, and depression happens more often than we'd like to think. confronting your fears and your own life is the only way out.

If bulimic anon is still here

I read somewhere that chugging water makes vomiting easier. Any truth to that?

Stop whining then. If you don't want to do anything about it, no one can help you - but you.
You don't seem ready, or willing, to change.
Until then expect more of the same.

>>716975471
From what I've read, it looks like you're overeating but not at the stage where you're throwing it up yet. You've noticed in time that you need to do something about it.

Overeating is a sign of something else wrong in your life. To fully fix the problem, you need to address what is wrong.

That is a fucking hard thing to do, so in the meanwhile, you need to fix your eating disorder.

You're not going to stop overeating. You're craving the feeling you get when you eat and eat.

A quick fix is to only overeat on health foods. Only have health food around. DO NOT buy shit.

You compensate the flavours of healthy foods by spicing it the fuck up. Get a whole lettuce and chop it up. Mushrooms. Tomaties. Onion. Anything and every fucking thing. Chop that shit up and put it in a huge fucking bowl.

Then add Chilli Sauce. Or Garlic Sauce. Or Lite French Dressing. Anything that has a strong flavour. You don't need a lot, just to cover some of it so you get a taste when you load up your fork.

Now go to fucking town on it. Massive fork fulls. Stab that shit till literally no more can fit on the fork. Cram it in your mouth and chew.

This might sound stupid, but it solves three of your immediate problems.

1. It's actually cheaper than buying junk food
2. You're still going through the motions of overeating
3. (this is the most important) You're not left with the guilty feeling when you're done.

You're eating like fuck, but it's healthy. Eventually, you start to think like a healthy eater. Kinda like being on a diet, but you're not starving yourself.

I was Bulimic, on and off, for around three years. My teeth are fucked now because of it. I love eating. I haven't solved the life problems that caused me to overeat, so every now and again I need to go back onto this salad thing.

It works for me.

Yes but not very good. You end up throwing up water with minute amounts of food. Better off with the vomit inducing medicine (even though it's deadly). Maybe you heard that drinking water in between bites makes it easier, because that is true. Especially with dry foods

>>716978938
It does. Also, chew the fuck out of the food. It's easier to get back out.

Avoid heavy foods like bread. That shit clumps together like a ball. You're not getting that back out.

>>716975471
I'm recovering from bulimia. I recommend you see a therapist or psychiatrist who specializes in treating eating disorders - non-specialists know very little about the disease. Discuss meds with your doc too.
