Reality of Bulimia

Short movie about my bulimia. My first video so sorry for the lack of technical skill involved.

*** as I have been asked by several people Feel free to use this video for classes/projects.what ever***

the song is beauty from pain by superchick

*** I am trying to recover from my bulimia now after being in an intensive treatment program

Because of this any comments promoting eating disorder, asking how to "get one" or telling me you are becoming bulimic because you are fat will be deleted.

those types of comments are not helpful in my recovery and they undermine the seriousness of this disorder.

PEOPLE DIE FROM THIS... THIS IS NOT A DIET!!!!!

EDIT: 6/11
Went through an intense 7 week hospital treatment, followed by a year and a half of group/individual sessions... My life was starting to come back together again, but I was sucked back into this hell

it's a hard fight, but that month or two with out it just reminded me what I have to fight for

Good luck and hugs to everyone out there going through this.... YOU ARE NEVER ALONE

I am crying... I can relate to everything in this video </3

[Nanami0406]

My mother found out yesterday afternoon of my problem...she's been crying ever since. She refuses to tell anyone because she's so ashamed and embarrassed of me. I don't blame her - I am too. From now on every time I'll hear her cry I'll think it's because of my stupid mistake. Please.. this isn't worth it.. when someone you love becomes affected.. it's not worth the pain..I really hope everyone with this problem finds help.

You should be proud of yourself for posting this video. You have reached out to so many people. Thank you for making me not feel so alone.

this video made me cry so much. I've gone from 92 pounds to 83 pounds to 140 pounds to 160 and now I'm 115. i want to be 100 (I'm short) so 100/105 is ideal. but I'm tired of this crap. always being all over the place. when I'm not purging i still binge and gain so much weight. when i do purge I'm so thin its gross. i want to stop and be healthy. i really do. its such a mental block every day i wake up and tell myself i'll eat normally. then i don't.

@livlead199 Bulimia is a physical compulsion and a mental disorder. Even if you ate tons of salad, it would still be binging and disordered eating. What your suggesting only addresses the symptom of weight gain as opposed to the main cause.

@Marijadundos Me too!

If I told my parents..they would hit me..shout at me..kick me out

ana/mia is MORE than wanting to just lose weight, it's about controll. They feel like they have no controll over anything, so they controll their body. It may start with weight loss, but then once the results come in, they want more, more, more.

@livlead199 nice idea!
