Has anyone dealt with an eating disorder?
I know this sounds really nasty but I'm bulimic, but instead of throwing up, I take laxatives. I don't know how to make myself stop. My dad knows and he isn't really doing anything to stop it. Has anyone dealt with an eating disorder who can tell me?

Maybe give some free advice about: ?
Your father should be supporting you and taking you to the doctors! Once you start, you can't stop unless you go to a program...

You have to stop hurting yourself like that.. and soon! Get rid of all your laxatives, and make sure to eat all three meals. I used to have a slight case of anorexia, and once I almost fainted, it scared me and made me realize that not eating when my body needed to was hurting me more than I thought. If you need to, find someone to talk to. Someone you can definately trust. If you have friends that have an eating disorder too try and steer clear from them for a while if they might be an influence to your habit. If your concerned about your weight just make sure you eat good, healthy foods and exercise on a regular basis. There's no reason to hurt yourself like that.

you shouldn't do that. you can really mess up your bowls and then you'll be hospitalized and shitting through a tube into a bag, happened to my friend, not fun. maybe you should see a councelor and talk about why you do this, if you can find the root of the problem maybe you can help yourself stop. and if i were you i would do it soon, so i wasn't shitting in a bag. :)

Don't take laxatives, they will hurt your body a lot more then throwing up would. You should tell a therapist or someone that way you can get help before it's too late. Please try your hardest to stop. Good Luck! <3 If you wanna talk you can IM me at Butterflykizzxx3.

Just talk to someone about it..anyone. these problems are very severe and need to be dealt with immediatly, try and sit down with your dad and just tell him about it and hope he listens.

well i was aneorexic fo almost 3 years, then i had to see a councilor and everything, i actually kept it from my parents for 1yr, the only meal they weer ever home for was dinner so it was easy just to say i was eatin at sum1 elses house

it's extremely dangerous what your doing, and heres my view on the dad thing
he's either not a very caring dad, or he doesn't wanna belive it's tru, like he's in denial or sumthin, maybe if u talked to him, and asked him for help, u could stop, just think eventually you'll have to get put in a hospital with needles stickin thru u, IT'S EXTREMELY PAINFUL, BUT EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, being bulemic, and aneorexic SUCKS, but if u get the help u need, then u'll overcome it!! Good Luck, and if u need ANYTHING, drop it in my inbox :-D

If you want to try to help yourself.... get rid of all the laxatives in the house...then eat. Or you can get help yourself sice your dad isnt doing anything for you. call your local doctor and he or she can referr you to a clinic or can help you any way he or she can!
hope i helped you. feel free to write any time with any question

i was bulimic for 2 years chick and it's horrible. i made myself sick every night when i pretended to be in the bathroom and put the shower on so no one could hear me. i think my parents sort of knew but never said anything. i never told anyone when i was going through it. i think you need to look at whats making you do it - i was so unhappy, felt worthless and thought i had no friends. what was making me that way though was sitting in my room overeating and not being out there with the friends i did have. i overcame it and to be honest i'm not sure how i did it, it took a long time and even now when i'm unhappy i feel like doing it again for the release. but the main thing is to question why you are doing it to yourself. maybe you could talk to your dad? i know it's hard but maybe if he sees you trying to confront it then he will too.
good luck chick x

Yeah, your dad is probably either in denial or doesn't realize the severity of the situation. Talk to your dad about getting some help for it, because you probably won't be able to do it on your own, but you know that what you're doing is wrong and you want to get better, and that's the first + most important step to recovery :o). Call around to health care facilities near you and see if they have any eating disorder programs, I'm sure somewhere will. Good luck!

I haven't dealt with an eating disorder myself, but I've had friends who have.
Don't try to stop cold turkey. You probably won't be able to - try cutting back first on the laxitives.
It might not work right away because they probably stay in your system for awhile, but try cutting back one every day, until you're not taking any.
This is gonna take a LOT of willpower on your part, so you have to really want to fix this.
Also, you're gonna have to change the way you think about food. An eating disorder is as psychological as it is a physical problem.
We eat to have energy. I have this crohn's disease thing that just recently flared up, causing me to lose six pounds in, like, five days. I couldn't eat, so I lost energy and all I could do was, like, lay around and be bored. Now that I'm able to eat, I can walk around and do things, etc. Food is FUEL!
While it's good that you realize you have an eating disorder, you need professional help, which we cannot give you. I suggest you go to a doctor, since your dad isn't really helping.
I really hope this helped a little!

Well for starters, stop thinking food is the enemy. You need to find ways to make yourself believe that its ok to look however you want, so long as you are happy.
There are treatment centres all over the United States that you can visit, because you do need professional help. This is way above and beyond the means of an online site.
Go here:

Your father may be in denial about the situation. Sort of like a 'not my kid' kind of thing. Talk to your dad again, make another attempt. If he refuses to listen still, then seek help on your own.
Here is a list of things that could result if you continue hurting yourself like this. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) You have to realize that there is a way to stop and that you need to find a professional to help you. You are killing yourself and no one here can really be that enormous of help compared to how much a help a true professional is. Talk to your father, make sure hes listening, if he refuses to help still, then go elsewhere for support. Tell a friend and have them come with you when you get help.
Emotional support I can help with, but you do need a professional, a doctor. Please feel free to contact me.
