These videos actually help me because I get scared about having heart attacks and organ failures...plus my mom needs my care so I always go to the kitchen and eat something healthy afterword
It's strange... I've been looking through these videos for a research paper, and I haven't found a documentary yet asking why this happens. It seems like that would be just as important, if not more so, than simply saying that bulimia is bad and you don't need to do it. The best cure is prevention, and it's hard to prevent something if you don't know why it happens.
i have bulimia and i hate throwing up eggs, ice cream , burgers , and ramen noodles . but i love to throw up chinese food i think is the best!!!!! im just being real!
If you want to heal your hunger effectively & efficiently by drawing on the wisdom of experience, I am available for regular chats via email, online chat or video calls healhunger@gmail.com. I was on the recovery trail for 11 years, 7 of which were spent tackling a severe case of binge eating disorder. I am now 31 & as healthy happy & wise as they come & effortlessly, anorexia bulimia & binge eating disorder free :0) you can be too x
I thought I would never stop, I thought it'd be my end. 7 years without stopping 1 day. I have been free of Bulimia now for nearly 56 days. And I am never going back. So can you, just keep fighting all of you out there. We need to survive so that we can spread awareness through the world so Bulimia is no longer some dark hidden illness.
Bulimics put it to a science; It was a sick game of espionage. It is just as much a serious addiction as that of Heroine and Cocaine, perhaps even more so as it is a whole new level to not only put something in yourself like drugs to feel numb, but to force things out of yourself and tear your body apart in the process.
Bulimia is not a mental illness. It is an addiction. Until "trained certified doctors" begin understanding this they are not that helpful. I never went to rehab, in the seven years I battled with Bulimia. one day 100 lbs. another 120, and the circle went on and on.
Its hard to stop but it is even harder to continue... you are slowly losing everything from your life or so you think you do until you make it becomes true. It's a mental illness, no matter what triggers it and what's your background, you are messing up with your mind and thoughts. That's why it looks impossible to come out of it. You need to "fool" yourself, not listen to your own mind but only the ones who love you and believe that slowly you WILL get back to normal. And you do... Patience...!

Although it is touching, I feel as if this video doesn't even begin to explain the emotional turmoil associated with the disease. Even after nearly two and a half years of living with an eating disorder, I cannot imagine sharing my experience with the world....so kudos for that. <3
It's awful you went through this (I know from my own experience how horrendous bulimia can be through, and how drastically it can change your life, your mind and your outlook) but I think it's great that you are now well, and not only that but talking about your mental illness. Not enough people do (especially those with bulimia) but the more people talk openly about their struggle, the less of a taboo it will become - and essentially more people will be able to get help. :) be well x
I've been living with Bulimia for 20 years. It never goes away. Its been a very lonely world for me never being able to reach out and talk to someone for reasons of humiliation and shame. Its a horrible illness and I don't wish upon anybody. It consumes your life. Your brain acts as a monster taking over your whole body. Just when you think its going to bet better, it gets worse. Thank you for sharing this.
I've had my ED for 24 years. Bulimia for 20 years. Let's say I'v purged an average of 3 times a day. That's 21900 times. Why am I still alive? I'm just wondering... My heart hurts from time to time though, but I keep thinking it's normal chest pain...
@Mira3696 I know exactly how you feel. I have migraines all the time and sometimes feel very tired and weak. It totally consumes you. I am living with it and its not easy at all. For me its been years of hell. We are oblivious to the consequences. The brain takes over. But we do need help no matter how ashamed we are, we need the help now. Its taken me 20 years to finally step up and believe me ITS HARD as hell.
@malkrow21 Ohhh, are you upset? Are you upset that your posts have no credibility? That all you can back up your posts with is your ignorant opinion? At least I can back up my posts with facts and sources. Any knowledgable person should be able to do that. Any educated person would know how to do that. Oh by the way, do you know something called the first amedment? Yeah, it talks about freedom of speech;therefore, I can post or talk about what I want, sir.
you're the one who is dumb because you choose to keep your ignorant opinion. if you are referring to the fact that i do not capitalize my i's well that's being a little picky considering this is a public forum and not an english compostion class. by the way i got a's in english. why don't you go attack someone else who can't even spell correctly. are you so bored that you have to troll videos dealing with eating disorders and then spew your ignorant thoughts on those videos comment boards?
@malkrow21 And how the hell would you know? I'm pretty sure you were not my English teacher. Did you see my transcripts? I don't think so. Oh, by the way who died and made you the grammar God?
@malkrow21 well obviously you don't understand eating disorders. it's a coping mechanism a negative one yes but many bulimics and other eating disordered persons do this to feel some sense of control in their lives because they feel like it is the only thing they have control over. purging in a way is releasing the negative emotions that they try to numb with food, much like an alcoholic uses alcohol to numb negative feelings in their lives.
And if you want to continue with your awful grammar and deny that sticking your finger down your throat is in fact an act of free will, that's your choice too.
It is very common for bulimia to cause other health problems such as kidney failure, cardiac arrhythmia, seizures, intestinal problems, and permanant kidney damage. I really hope you keep up your battle against you disease. It is very brave to put yourself out there with this video and hopefully your story will help others get the help they need. Good luck.
yeah but not with fries and burgers. only with parfaits, grilled snack wraps with no sauce and grilled salads with light or no sauce! and grilled chicken sandwiches without mayo or ranch sauce.
im sick since almoust 2 years ago and my little brother want to binge and purge because my dad told him he was fat and i dont want my brother live in this hell
i have ana/mia and i feel guilty because my mom had it and my best friends mom had and my best friend james had it and had to get his stomach tied and theyve all recovered and i cant. i feel bad because i dont want to...
stop now please i was where you are it gets worse it's not fun and it's easier to stop after that short a period of time... please. for your own health and well being it will be better for you in the end.
I didn't stop one day for 7 years, and finally that "mystical" day came, except it was so plain. I simply didn't binge as much, and what I did eat I didn't purge, no matter what my weight on the scale. Don't look at the scale for 3 days...just try it. Because that one day came, and I expected that I'd go right back soon enough. Yet here I am...free from Bulimia, 54 days strong. The rest of a free-lifetime to come! Believe that you can be free and you will :)
@BlankySoSoft It seems everyone who has commented got to the 7 year mark of this crappy disease ... i have already told my friends and family and im going for treatment today. i am scared for my life do u have any advice for me as i start my journey ?
@sassy4twin Don't be afraid! I promise you, any damages done can be reversed. My advice...gosh there is so much I would say, but really, the journey to freedom from such a dark addiction is personal and will always be personal. There is no book, no formula for healing, but rather main components that motivate us to heal. Those components in my eyes would be; the unbeatable desire to be free, the faith in oneself that you can and WILL be free,
@sassy4twin and the courage to be ready to silence all of those voices inside of you telling you to be afraid. I never went into treatment, because anytime I spoke to a doctor they approached Bulimia as though it were a mental illness, a sickness or a disease. Now granted, I may have just been going to the wrong doctors, but I know alot of friends with the disorder who were made to feel as though they were ill because of a doctor. Advice there; make sure whatever doctors you encounter make you
@sassy4twin feel completely 100 percent comfortable, and COMMEND you for your strength in choosing to overcome this addiction. I also want to stress to you to not fear for your life. I did as well, I kept thinking all the time "have I done irreversible damages to my body?" And those thoughts let me sink further downward, because with me at least, fear is a trigger for my habits. My proof that you should not fear for you life? I am now nearly 13 weeks free, have gone to multiple doctors who
@sassy4twin specialize in every area of the body, and they say that my body is healing so rapidly- my throat, the area of most concern for bulimics; still mildly swollen, but in another four weeks it will be completely fine and I will be able to sing any and every high note I desire, my heart; the doctor took a listen and instantly asked if I was an athlete because of its strong beat; Over and over again the doctors kept saying "The body is extremely resilient"
@sassy4twin or "you would be suprised how rapidly the body can heal once you start treating it with love". How do you treat it with love? Well, a bulimics main problem is that no matter what anyone tells us, we DO care about having a healthy, attractive body but we also ENJOY food and don't want to be without it. Well neither of those = illness. Actually they = a potentially super healthy person. But you have to change your formula for achieving that. In my first few sober weeks, I ate alot,
@sassy4twin and did not punish myself for everything that I ate. I gained a few pounds and instead of looking at the scale and feeling angry I thought...by accepting this number I see and not purging, I am extending my life. I have all the time in the world to get where I want to be, these numbers are recovery numbers and should be loved not scorned. However, as preemptive efforts, I began reading any books I could on balanced dieting and nutrition. Now, I was already vegetarian so I fell inlove
@sassy4twin with "Skinny bitch", a book that promotes animal rights, a Vegan diet and healthy living. A book which I went into saying, I don't have to follow this word for word, perhaps just to do for a month so that I can eat healthily in my time of recovery. Well, I fell in love and became a Vegan, and eventually slowed down my bread and pasta intake (replacing with gluten free bread and quinoa) and learned to eat 5 meals daily. This diet helped rid me of many of the things that set me off
@sassy4twin in the first place, so it may not be essentially for you, but it really helped me. Especially limiting too much wheat because when you begin recovery, a bulimics stomach is the area that seems to rise the most because our bodies have been SO hungry for carbs, nutrients and food whatsoever that it clings on to them. Don't be mad at your stomach if it does this, because soon enough with exercise and balanced eating it will be flat as you could desire. Love any changes your body
@sassy4twin experiences as they are all indicating you are in recovery. Don't look at other people who are thin and in shape and feel warm with shame or embarrassment (I did this at first) because they may or may have not been through what you have, or may be going through it themselves, which for any of those, they are at a different point in their health and are not to be compared to. You are the soldier, healing and fighting a battle that many succumb to. You are to be commended because you
@sassy4twin are surviving. My last advice to you? LOVE your body. Take it to the gym, take it on runs outside whether its sunshine, cloudy, raining, whether all it wants to do is walk. Train it! Tell it that you want a challenging but gentle workout! climb the stair climber, swim in the pool for both workout or leisure, lay on a blanket on the grass and just close your eyes, take in the sounds of the world and the feeling of its wind and light on your skin, be filled with happiness because you
@sassy4twin because you have made the choice to live, and you will now forever be apart of the world, and your body will thank you and reward you in ways you could not even imagine. Listen to music that feeds the soul for you will hear it better than you have ever heard before, watch movies and read books that make you feel and thank all your past woes and pains because they have taught you so much about emotion. I know this all probably sounds sappy, but we are alive, and you too will be free!
@sassy4twin start at the very first comment and read up...if you need to ask anymore questions, if you want any music to listen to that helped in my recovery, any books to read, any movies to watch, any silly youtube videos to laugh at when you need a distraction, or just need a friend to speak to who understands ...or who will understand whatever you want to talk about, as every path to recovery is personal, hayleyjane01@gmail.com and I can send you my facebook link, whatever works. Be Strong!
@BlankySoSoft that goes for anyone as well who stumbles across all of this and just needs a friend for support. No worries, I am not some youtuber creeper ;). I am an 18 year old university student with a boyfriend I am in love with, and just would love to help others find the bath to health, as I had to do before on my own with the help of loved ones. Good luck to all!
Just be supportive and listen to her if she comes to you for a shoulder to lean on. Living with bulimia is really difficult - I have it myself - so don't pressure her to go to treatment especially if she is not ready considering how stressful recovery is. She has to be ready if she is to be motivated to beat it.If you are going to ever suggest it, just do it lightly without being consistent or demanding about it. Some people get really angry about the mentioning of therapy so be really careful.
Eventually you start craving the purges as much as the food.

Tell it that you want a challenging but gentle workout! climb the stair climber, swim in the pool for both workout or leisure, lay on a blanket on the grass and just close your eyes, take in the sounds of the world and the feeling of its wind and light on your skin, be filled with happiness because you

@sassy4twin because you have made the choice to live, and you will now forever be apart of the world, and your body will thank you and reward you in ways you could not even imagine. Listen to music that feeds the soul for you will hear it better than you have ever heard before, watch movies and read books that make you feel and thank all your past woes and pains because they have taught you so much about emotion. I know this all probably sounds sappy, but we are alive, and you too will be free!

@sassy4twin start at the very first comment and read up...if you need to ask anymore questions, if you want any music to listen to that helped in my recovery, any books to read, any movies to watch, any silly youtube videos to laugh at when you need a distraction, or just need a friend to speak to who understands ...or who will understand whatever you want to talk about, as every path to recovery is personal, hayleyjane01@gmail.com and I can send you my facebook link, whatever works. Be Strong!

@BlankySoSoft that goes for anyone as well who stumbles across all of this and just needs a friend for support. No worries, I am not some youtuber creeper ;). I am an 18 year old university student with a boyfriend I am in love with, and just would love to help others find the bath to health, as I had to do before on my own with the help of loved ones. Good luck to all!

Thank you for sharing. You are very brave. My ex-g/f has bulimia, and I want to help her...How do I subtly help her without offending her?

Just be supportive and listen to her if she comes to you for a shoulder to lean on. Living with bulimia is really difficult - I have it myself - so don't pressure her to go to treatment especially if she is not ready considering how stressful recovery is. She has to be ready if she is to be motivated to beat it.If you are going to ever suggest it, just do it lightly without being consistent or demanding about it. Some people get really angry about the mentioning of therapy so be really careful.
