Bulimia

Writing from a position of almost seven years symptom-free from my once old friend bulimia nervosa, and fully recovered, I read all these stories with such a tangible sadness. Everything described is so horribly familiar at the same time as feeling like a lifetime ago.

My name is Carly. I have had bulimia for eight years, and I have never been treated for it.

It's common for people suffering with bulimia to slip under the radar. A lot of the time those suffering don't tend to look that differently physically, so how would anyone know what is going on?

Natalie shares her recovery from bulimia and says there is hope. With the right support and education, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

My head was constantly filled with self-loathing thoughts. I couldn't concentrate on anything other than hating the skin I was in.

I'm now pregnant and suffering from Hypermeresis Gravidarum (HG), which is an extreme form of morning sickness.

I don’t have an eating disorder. If you have an eating disorder you are skinny, you are a young girl, you have self-control.
