bulimic and just want to be able to stop

[foodismydemon]

can anyone help?

I have been bulimic on and off for about 20 years. For the 1st 17 it was very occasional from what I remember. Now, since the birth of my ds, it's almost every day and sometimes more than once a day. I have tried to stop and am able to sometimes but my urge to eat takes over and I can't help myself. It doesn't even need to be bad food but I have to have it then feel fed up because i'm overweight so it's not as if i'm skinny.

Are there any reformed bulimics who can help me because I don't want to go to the doctors about it. I'm on AD's but I wonder if they ever have a chance of working tbh though I tend to binge in the evening and take it last thing at night. Other aspects of my life are ok really, it's just that food takes over completely and apart from it being a total waste of money it's not good for me.

Any tips please?

please go to your doctor and get some proper advice. take care.

CBT can be extremely helpful for eating disorders.

I have just started a similar thread about my own eating disorder. Didnt see this first, sorry.

There is an AD that can be taken to help with Bulimia - I think it might be prozac 3 times a day - but check with your GP.

And check out my thread, in case there is anything useful there.
