Have you ever suffered from an eating disorder?

Question

I have suffered from bulimia for almost 8 years. It's not exactly to lose weight but more for emotional reasons. In high school health class the instructor said bulimia and anorexia is rare..and it made me feel alone. However, I feel like more people suffer with eating disorders than we all know. I'm making this post to show others you're not alone and also encouraging people to get help.

Answer

I've suffered from EDNOS since I was 12. I'm 29. I've been through periods of bingeing, purging, restriction, over exercise, ect. Around 24 I discovered veganism. It helped me overcome these things and care about the planet and my body. I still struggle sometimes and I figure I'll always have that mental battle. But overall I'm now happy and healthy!

Answer

It scares me that this is most fucking 50/50

Answer

I was bulimic/anorexic for 2 years.  I still have my days where it's hard to function normally.  I would barley eat, work out twice a day and if u had anything that I felt was 'bad' I'd throw it up. I've never been more than. 125 lbs, but u got down to 87 lbs before I finally sought counseling.  It was the hardest part of my life. You CAN conquer it though.  Reach out to people you trust and love. Go see a counselor.  You can do this. You're not alone. ♡

Answer

I have, in the first few years of high school during abusive relationships. I got very very sick with it, near death.

But I've gotten over that with help and have put on loads of weight

Answer

I didn't develop one til I was in an abusive relationship. I wouldn't even drink water. I exercised 5 hrs a day. Now 10 yrs later I'm 220lbs and I over eat. Lack of eating and over eating are eating disorders. It's a hard battle.
