To think it's ok to make myself sick sometimes?

Ok I know not everyone does it. But I make myself sick if I've drunk too much or if I feel like I'm bloated and had loads to eat. It makes me feel better. Today I ate 6 packets of crisps because I feel stressed. I made myself sick. That doesn't mean I have an eating disorder though does it? I feel better, I don't plan to do it again, but I feel better now. Cleansed I suppose.

Hi Farontothemaddingcrowd,

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources - here. One of the organisations listed in the webguide is Beat eating disorders - they have a helpline open 365 days of the year from 12 - 8pm (weekdays), 4 - 8pm (weekends) - 0808 801 0677. They also offer one-to-one webchats and support groups. Please do take a look here.

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek real life help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We're going to move this thread over to our Mental Health topic now.

Sending good wishes, OP. Flowers
