I am new to the forum. What I am looking for is someone who is in the same boat as me. Someone willing to give eachother support via e-mail or even here on the board. I have bulimia and I am having a hard time. I do not just purge when I binge, I purge everytime I eat. That is unless my husband is here being the toilet police. So if this sounds familiar, E-mail me or even just reply here on the board. I could use all the support I can find. And no offence to anyone out there, but I would feel better if someone who knows what it is like to have an ED would lend a friendly hand.

Hi there.

I have compulsive eating disorder, or binge eating disorder. I just want to give you some (((hugs))) and point you to a WONDERFUL resource:

They have a message board too, and there are great people over there in recovery. There are those who struggle with anorexia, bulemia, and coed.

Good luck to ya!

I am just in the discovery phase. s
So much information is new to me other than the basic. I overeat . I eat when I am not hungry but for every other reason you can think of. I think I am a compulsive eater. I haven't been dianosed by a doctor but they didn't diagnose me with gallbladder disease either until the 3rd trip to the emergency room and me telling them that was what was wrong with me. Seems to run in my family for some reason. Most of the girls on my fathers side had their gallbladders removed after the birth of their first child. So after really thinking about this and gathering some info I believe I may be a compulsive eater. I have found lots of support both on this board and the fishy site also. I hope you find exactly what you are looking for and congratulations on your decision to seek support.

Issmee, I know what you are going through. I used to purge everytime I ate. To me eating anything was a binge. I did this for several years when I was younger. I stopped when I ended up in the hospital with a very bad case of Mono. They treated my body but not my mind. I started purging again about 5 years ago, for me it is a coping mechanism. When I get really stressed I purged. Long story short, it took psychologist to talk to, psychiatrist for medication (which DID help me to stop purging) and dietician to help learn to eat healthy. I did all this for about 6 months and then stopped everything, even though I should have continued (which if you read any of the other threads, you can see why),...BUT I do NOT purge anymore. I have other issues, but at least purging is not one of them at this time. What I am trying to say is do not be afraid to ask for help. There are alot of people out there who can help you. Purging WILL take a toll on your body and your mind. I know. Ask for help or at leat keep posting here so you can get some support, that is what we are here for. Take Care of yourself OK.
