How long have you been binging & purging? What side effects are you experiencing?

Sorry double post

[myknuckleshurt]

Going on 5 years. Teeth are fucked, in pain all the time, ended up with a Mallory-Weiss tear a few months ago which was awful. Dry ass hands with cracked knuckles. Money down the drain. Makeup getting ruined. Lying to everyone all the time.
I start treatment in 2 weeks, wish me luck, I NEED to get out of this hell

[biblicallyaccurateangel]

started when i was 13, just purged regular meals when i felt like it. thought i'd stop at one point.

got really bad when i was 15 and 16,

then i think i recovered a little at 17.

relapsed at 18.

stopped from 19-20 for a bit but here and there...

21-22 was full blown anorexia b/p subtype

now I'm 23 and i have purging disorder. 

 

so i guess 10 years on and off but i think i really slipped deep into my disorder in august 2019, even though ive always had it since young..

idk if that made sense

mmmh since june last year

[kitn]

b/ping on and off since my early 20s (in my 30s now).. always been predominantly restrictive since age 17 but lately b/p constantly

Since November last year it started and has gotten worse since. It got extremely bad extremely quick. In no time I started b/p 4+ times a day. Lots of money wasted. I'm incredibly dehydrated all the time. I developed gallstones and have the occasional attack if I dont purge thoroughly which stopped any hope of recovery so now I'm just in constant fear. I literally never use the bathroom. I have to take a bunch of laxatives every two weeks and spend the night in pain. I'm exhausted all the time. My teeth hurt. I cant do anything anymore bc I'm either b/p or cant stop thinking about food. I had to give my savings to someone I trust because I couldn't trust myself with the money. And I'm actually gaining weight right now which is such a nightmare and I'm so fucking terrified. I have many deficiencies. My hair is extremely thin. I mean it just goes on. I didn't know it would get this bad so soon.

Anorexia-r for 10 years, anorexia b/p started 4 years ago, switched back to AN-r for a while but for the past year I’ve relapsed back to AN-b/p :/

[Bluefingered]

first purged 7 years ago, it's been a constant cycle between restriction/binge-purging/purging without binging since then. 

 

i've been purging every day for just over a year now. 

[dumb cutie]

since september 2018, on and off.

9 years ago, the first three years was everyday. Then 3 relapsing constantly, and then 3 almost "clean", this year I relapsed. My teeth are ruined, I had 5 really bad cavities, my mouth corners too. I haven't go to the doctor yet to discuss my constant acid reflux but I had anemia for a long time. Another side effect is I know how to clean very good the bathroom and pretend I'm cured lol.

I purged like once in 2015 and it fucking terrified me because it was a rush but I knew how dangerous it is so I've just stuck with classic fasting/ restricting. I just knew how easy it'd be to slip into it ya know? Still kinda scared of doing it honestly

[Septsys]

16 years straight and I’m still somehow physically alright, never been hospitalized or experienced medical scares in regards to purging

[yuki ❄]

5 years of bulimia. I'm 25 now so that's a solid 20% of my life dedicating to b/ping. You can say that it's the only thing I have never given up on.

Yeah I get you, I think I was probably like that for me at the start but now it’s like second nature :/

[xxRho]

I’ve been binging for at least 15 years
I’ve been restricting for about 13
Purging (by vomiting) for about 2.5 years.

[Skarf]

First purge attempt st 9. I was vegetarian and accidentally ate gelatine in a yogurt so panicked, cried and used a spoon (dumb) nd fingers to vomit it. I was so shocked I never tried again.

I'm now 30, barfing since 17. I used laxatives and restricted purely since 14-15.

But what kid wants to be a veggie at
7yo??? Says enough.

It could well be related. Chest pain is serious and should always be checked out.

 

You might also need an ECG.

 

Heart problems are a known risk of purging
