I've been wanting to share this in my own diary but I'm afraid I'm just not ready.
I'm bulimic. I'm also struggling with periods of not eating but I'm not willing to say I'm anorexic because my weight loss hasn't been...huge and it fluctuates because of my binge episodes.
I am so sorry for your pain. I know exactly how you feel. For almost a decade I've gone back and forth between anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and compulsive overeating. It's quite frustrating and feels as if you're swimming against the tide. I wish you the best and hope you can obtain a strong support system, which perhaps could aid in your recovery. *Hugs*
Admitting it here is the first step. Once you become more comfortable saying it anonymously, you'll be able to talk about it more freely elsewhere as well. Just please do not stop reaching out!
i can relate here. it has taken me a while to come to terms with my eating disorder. i try to eat regularly now, but when i am stressed, i have no appetite at all. or i am simply not bothered to eat. i can go days without eating. and i get used to feeling starved. i know it is not good, neither for my mental health, but it is a hard mindset to break. i am already underweight. my biggest fear is going over 100lbs.
