Hi,
I'm new to this board but was needing to find somewhere to talk.
Its now 2ish, and I cant sleep... AGAIN. This is the first time I've posted here, so firstly hi. I've got an eating disorder, and i have done for nearly 2 years now. I've been overeating/purging and its now getting really quite bad. Everyone is aware that i am sick. but i've lied lied lied and have blamed a food intolerance or stress or my stomach muscle function.
I've had endless medication from the GPs for anti sickness, needless to say its gone in the bin. I only went so i could get a prescription to keep my mum quiet. then i would have a legitatmate reason for being sick. I've been for a camera down my throat, which was horrific., and i broke my heart lying on the bed because it was all my own doing and i still couldnt admit to it. I've had to eat radioactive eggs for a stomach scan. All these scans have of course come back clear, because its me doing this to myself.
And last week, I went to doctors where i completely broke down in tears. I got quite close to admitting how bad its all getting. I told her that when i'm stressed my sickness gets really bad. its like an anxiety thing. This is true. But I find myself stressing if i cant be sick after i've eaten. I feel like the food is just sitting there and i cant breathe. My chest gets really tight and i HAVE to be sick to feel less panicky.
I've been off work for the past couple of weeks and have been binging for most of the day. Its horrific. the toilet constantly smells of vomit
If I'm honest i htink this is just another form of my panic attacks/depression. I've got a child and when he was born I had really severe post natal depression. I took medication for this and it lifted but since then I've had panic attacks every so often. I've not had a panic attack in a while, but have had this increasingly bad vomitting thing. It started when my relationship with my ex was breaking down. I started to be really sick, then when we split up I had nobody to really monitor how much i throwing up so its just got worse and worse.
I'm now anaemic and i've developed raynauds syndrome as my circulation is shot to bits. I'm constantly cold. I've gone from a size 12 to an 8. and although i shouldnt i love being thin. When i eat anything, like going out for dinner or eatin in front of people, I panic about putting on weight. i try and get to a loo asap to be sick. With every meal I drink pints and pints of water so that i can sick more easily, and i always finish my sons plate so my stomach feels really full. and then i feel like i cant breathe so have to sick.
I've been asked a number of times if i'm bulemic and i always say no. why cant i just say yes? i feel like such a fraud. And people are obviously noticing and talking about me, but i still cant tell them.
When i was at the doctors the last time, she gave me beta blockers as I refused to go back on my anti depressants.
They are meant to help with anxiety/stress, and although that is underlying, thats not going to help with the bulemia is it?
Sorry if this has been garbled but I've never told anyone,, and its just all coming out now:heartpuls:heartpuls:heartpulsPrincesses wear crowns to remind them that they are beautiful and special because some days its easy to forget. :heartpuls:heartpuls:heartpuls0 -

Hope you are ok this morning, Shaz!:wave:
Sorry you are feeling bad, Sandy. I wish I could be of more help. Don't worry about moaning here, we all understand. Hugs ((()))
Vickiv55, welcome to the thread. Im really glad you were able to get your feelings out here. I hope this is the first step for you. As Shaz says, print your post out and perhaps show it to your doctor? This could be the beginning of you finding your way out of your situation. All the best and hugs (())0 -
hi. I eventually got a sleep around half 4 this morning, and then had to be up at 7 to get my wee boy ready for school. Needless to say, i'm def not working today. I've made a doctors appointment for later and think that maybe printing the letter out would be a start. its scarey tho,
thanks for listening x:heartpuls:heartpuls:heartpulsPrincesses wear crowns to remind them that they are beautiful and special because some days its easy to forget. :heartpuls:heartpuls:heartpuls0
