survivor
hey just wanted to let you know, surviving your disease is achievable. I have suffered from the same illness for well over 13 years. It sucked me dry from relationships, normal living and self esteem. It destroyed my teeth, caused me to have chronic stomach pain and bathroom problems, not to mention the mental abuse associated with the denial and isolation. I am now married, healthy, and able to eat everyday without worrying where I will go to vomit. My suggestion is for you to begin an exercise program, not evasive, but just simple changes. You will realize how out of shape you are and it will help you realize what you want to do with your life. As I know, bulimia is a way to control something when we feel we have no control. I got thru this not only because I had a seizure and it freaked me out, but I also tried to exercise and my health scared me. With this disorder comes our obsessive compulsive behavior. So my advice to you is to put your energy into becoming fit and healthy. While it is hard not to become obsessed with exercise and eating healthy, it is much more beneficial to your health. I would be glad to talk anytime.
