I just wondered what other peoples experiences are, particularly those who suffered with anorexia and/or bulimia as a teenager. Do you feel you have fully recovered? How old are you now? Is it even possible to fully recover?
To keep it very brief, I suffered with anorexia age 15. When I did reach a healthy weight I then became bulimic for several. I'm early 30s now and although I have been a healthy weight for years, I still have a lot of guilt when it comes to food, and if I hear about eating disorders either on TV programmes or on work training due to my job role, I find it triggers negative feelings towards food and guilt that I am not "in control" of my eating like I used to be. If I do "over indulge" i find the temptation to make myself sick like I used to in my younger years so strong at times...that temptation and guilt around food has never really completely gone even as I've got older. Have others had similar experiences?
