- As a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and ED recovery, want to talk about bulimia - what bulimia is and what it isn't. How it's correlated to other conditions like exercise addiction, restriction, overeating, binge eating disorder, and other eating disorders. I have a lot more videos on my channel regarding this.

Another big thing a part of bulimia is the restrictive or starvation periods that come as compensatory behaviors after binging. I, as a bulimic, will go days without eating just because I had binged and then self induced vomited. I always go the extra mile to prevent weight gain, which is a symptom very common in all eating disorders. Thank you for touching base on this topic! This makes me feel extremely validated.
I do this and I didn't know it can also be a behavior of bulimia
Depression sucks. Even when I'm with a lot of people, I still feel like an outcast.
I know that feeling, it’s horrible feeling alone around people. Im sorry you’re dealing with this.
Me too. 54 years of it
FFFFFFFF depressions can go beat it ....somewhere else
when did this video say depression 😭
Anyone else struggling with this I'm sending my love because its so hard and isolating, but your not alone and there is help out there!
i think it’s important to note people still struggle with this even without binging. ie people still purge after eating even if they ate a “normal” amount or even less
THANK YOU. Bulimia behaviours don’t always take place after a binge. When I was deep, deep into my ed I’d literally have a 50 calorie apple and thought it would make me gain weight so I’d exercise straight after for a weird amount of time.
That’s where I am right now. I eat a single meal and get anxious and kinda switch to autopilot until my brain is satisfied it’s done enough but like, there definitely wasn’t enough to count as a binge
then isn't that anorexia nervosa ?
@@saorise28 welp I guess I was misdiagnosed then lmao
@@saorise28yes it does I have anorexia, anorexica can include over exerciseing purging and laxatives all things that bulimics do the thing that changes is once you loose a lot of weight to a point where your sick your no longer bullimic your now anorexic, It’s actually very common for anorexics to purge. I purged and over exercised I was never bulimic because I was always servely underweight so just wanted to clarify
I’ve had bulimia for about 10 years and don’t know what to do. I’ve never told anyone. I’m 36 and feel like I’m going to die soon if I don’t stop.
Omg 😢 don’t feel bad it’s going on 16 years for me and I’ve had a numerous of help from treatment centers, ED specialists, (which I currently see) support groups and still struggling 😢. It’s rather challenging to break this cycle of addiction but I believe that it can be done❤. Please stay in there I totally feel your pain we have a purpose in this life that we ought to fulfill!!!
I learned something today. I always thought bulimia was "eat, vomit, repeat."
Yes. I was horrified getting the actual diagnosis, cause I was SO EMBARRASSED. Especially by the “getting rid of”-part. But also the universal “I’m not skinny enough to have an ED”
My grandfather had that eating disorder, which was strange to me at the time, 80's era, because I had assumed from television and everything else that it was primarily a female problem. As a kid growing up, I would often wonder why my grand dad would make a run to the bathroom after eating. I think part of what he went through has stuck with me as I will intentionally starve myself when I feel like I get too chubby. I will go through periods of "phases" where I just refuse to eat, and I end up just making myself sick in the process. I was never close to my grandfather so I'll never know the specifics of his own problems. But I definitely remember hearing about that from my grandma when I was around 8 or 9 years old.
some medical conditions can cause vomiting after eating.
@@coffeeandhorses7991 Could have been for all I know, but I do know at some point they had put my grand dad on some antidepressants which must have drove my grandma crazy because she never believed in psychology and the treatments behind it. I would also catch a lot of flak from her as I got older because of of that as well.
@@justinhoward7725 psychology is the study of feelings and thoughts and behaviour. It's a science based. So is therapy. so it's kinda funny she doesn't "believe " in psychology!.
@@coffeeandhorses7991 I remember when she came to visit me while I was hospitalized, my therapist had showed up at the same time and boy that was extremely awkward. She blatantly disputed everything said at the time. She often times would tell me to flush the meds down the toilet whenever she asked how I was doing.
Between her and my dad, it was hell trying to navigate my younger adolescent years. As far as I know, she died still not believing in mental health and therapy. My dad would eventually come around to an extent, but it was always awkward discussing mental health and it's probably why I rarely mention my own feelings around family.
@@justinhoward7725 I’m sorry you didn’t have support in your closes family members. Neither do I and it completely sucks. Your gma sounds a lot like my mother.
Hope evryone that deals with it is doing well ...
For those who are worried about their teeth due to Bullemia, please note- 1. Do not over brush your teeth 2. Stop the acids reflux touching the teeth 3. Do not brush immediately after the food or after acids reflux 4. After any meal rinse your mouth with water 5. Use mouth wash for teeth sensitivity (usually it blue with potassium) try the one from sensodyne 6. Get dentist appointment for regular check up to see any signs of cavity 7. Do not get crown or tooth extraction unless your teeth is highly damaged and sensitive 8. Keep your natural tooth as long as possible. Once there tooth work is done by dentist you will require several continuous visits and money. I have heard many dentists recommend full teeth removal even if the teeth are healthy enough and it’s totally wrong. Due to Bullemia the enamel gets eroded but that doesn’t mean the teeth is gone. You can still prevent further erosion by following above tips. As we grow our teeth placement changes so it’s better to get major teeth work done later in life.
Lastly you are beautiful ❤
@Rae because it damages the teeth further m. You can brush after an hour so that the teeth gets neutralise by the saliva. When you throw up the acid erodes the teeth and the teeth are quite exposed to further erosion.
I didn't realize the other purging forms. I wa taught it's puking after eating a large amount of food.
Thank you for the information. Knowledge is power.
Thank you so much for validating me with this video. for me, people really don't understand my bulimia because there is such an association with throwing up. It makes me uncomfortable to tell people I am a binge eater, because in my warped mind, I feel like I work so hard to compensate and stay at a normal weight. I used to throw up as a teenager, but now as an adult I over exercise, fast, and use substances with a laxative effect.
Like ocd and bulimia eating disorders
I do this but for drugs. Everytime I smoke weed or drink alcohol I remove some of the guilt that comes with it by going to the gym. My chest doesn’t hurt as badly the next day. It could be all in my head but I digress
Hey I kinda had the same problem, with smking 🍃, idk if you tried this already but if you’re chest hurts the next morning try putting a heating pad on it for 15 minutes before going to sleep and after waking up. I’m not a doctor but it could be because your chest muscles are tight and aching.
My cousin had to get all of her teeth replaced because she had bulimia for many, many years. She went to rehab many times and it didn't take... I think that the new teeth gave her a new start in life. But, if anyone doesn't know that your teeth will eventually fall out, I would encourage you to find help
I’ve been bulimic for 10 years, I had a dentist check up the other day and was told I have a good set of teeth, Given I did need a couple of small fillings but he I quote said it was due to aggressive brushing, I still have all my teeth. Sorry to hear about your cousin :(
so i actually have three eating disorders, (and before you say get help i’m in recovery) anorexia, bulimia, and ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and when i purge is after i eat food that is probably less than a normal person would eat and then i convince myself that i ate a lot but what makes it bulimia is that i purge.
There's anorexia-restriction subtype and anorexia- binge and purge subtype. No one should be diagnosing anorexia and bulimia anymore. Not since the DSM 3. Oh bulimarexia 🙄
That is more descriptive, now fewer people can hide it
Perfect explanation
I have stuggled with bulimia and body dismorphia for almost 40 years since I had a kidney transplant and became obsessed with losing weight caused by prednisone I gained about 40lbs in a month). My compensatory habit was always purging. It is a hell of a taxation mentally.
it's a cycle: restrict, binge, purge, guilt (so you restrict again and the cycle continues).
i'm so sorry to everyone else struggling. we can do this
This is me.. i binge and purge to dissociate in order to eacape from the overwhelming load of problematic knotts i have entangled myself with.. i aldo have ADHD-IT PTSD and substance use disorder which is where this escapist behavior originates
Now i dont know what i have. I dont eat much these days cus i feel guilty if i do but once i eat more i make myself throw up. I also overexercise from dancing
currently still doing that:)
What is it if you make yourself throw up but do not binge?
That’s still bulimia. You can still be bulimic if you do those behaviours even after eating a “normal” amount of food or even less than that.
Is it still the same thing if I eat a “normal amount” but still trow up working out whatever
After the death of my grandfather I started ro bing. I allmost gained 13 pounds, I'm also feeling insecure. Because having a cookie or any type of distraction is horrible. I can't get away from this
thought i was the only one .....ik ik i have to stop am trying
So how do recover when this is all you know? You can think you are good one day and then relapse and have uncontrollable urges when coping with trauma from your past. When nobody is there for you your entire life it’s hard not to find comfort in eating and then binging. For me it has numbed me so I don’t feel any pain but I know I will only cause harm to myself.
40 years bulimua. After phase of forced tube feeding and 15 years a psychiatrist who tried to make me believe I would be paranoid fuckkng still alive. Esophagus hernia, inflammation stomach etc. Very very willing to die. Only possivility is to overdose laxatives with out eating potassium. And the grief, not to weigh 55 pounds anymore. That s what xou forgot to tell. 🖤
Sounds like u may be suffering from purging anorexia...I hope u get the help required to beat this. It's very difficult but I like to think it is possible, especially if u are able to get accurate diagnosis. Wishing you the best ❤️🙏
Can you talk what's the difference between ana with binges urges and bulimia ? I have ana with high percentage of mia but doctord never explained me
The difference is, sadly, still determined by weight. You have anorexia-restricting subtype which the patient has to maintain a bmi of 17.5 or less, or anorexia-binge and purge subtype (also with the requirement of bmi under 17.5). To get a diagnosis of bulimia, one isn't limited by size. So if your bmi is 17.5 or less, that's the difference. Now, is there much behavior change simply due to a weight cutoff? No, not really.
One thing you failed on if person have tactics disorder which is due sensory process disorder and they can refuse food or have fear of food which causes them lose weight or not gain much weight. They connected sensory process disorder with anorexia Nerosa. Which should be evaluated by a occupational therapist deal in feeding
ive been struggling since 2015 im turning 26
I'm victim
I have bulimia. I do lots of fasting, binging and purging. I also started exercising doing hour workouts and almost 31k steps.
I am obese and I get lots of comments about my weight. It started when my old eye doctor made me cry about my weight multiple times.
Lets tolk about how is to be a parent whit anxeity and depression?
By the way don't forget there're many diabulimics out there.
Donate food after vomitting that food though. If you dont want that swollen cheeks with negetivity to follow your life.
✋🏽
"We".. I am sorry
I eat more I want vomate it up I can't do it or over run I over watch TV
