I am a 21 Male and have been suffering from Bulimia for the past 2 years, at my heaviest I was 300 lbs and at my lightest I was 160 lbs, I am now 190 lbs.(5'11). Recently (over the past few months) my bulimia has slowly turned into anorexia, now I only eat a few (2 or 3) times a week and throw up whatever I eat immediatly. It's as natural as brushing your teeth in the morning, I eat, go throw it up and move on with my day. I need help, the effects of these dieseases are finally starting to become evident, I feel like I am going to pass out all the time, my body has strange twitches, my stomach hurts too much, my teeth are gums are eroding away and I still can't stop. I need help, I know, but I'm not sure if I want it, I'm not sure that I will be ok with gaining weight, as sad as it may sound. I would almost rather be dead then weigh as much as I did before. i just don't know what to do...I honestly can't tell you when the last time I kept any food down was.


Has anyone been through recovery for an ED, can you tell me what it's like?

Welcome to SR Franklin. There is an Eating Disorders forum further down the main forum page. It looks quite active too!

Good luck

Welcome FT, as you say, you know you need help so please get medical advice. As mentioned there is an Eating Disorder forum and some of the folk there are very knowledgeable, best wishes.

I posted a telephone hotline and general information in the ED forum.

Shalom!
