(I am a) Bulimic Nightmare, By “desperate” I just meant that some people with bulimia want to get better and will go through anything to get better - That’s what recovery is, it’s hell that’s worth going through. Treatment tends to be a part of that process. “All that” - other disordered behaviour one might develope such as frequently weighing oneself or constantly exercising, etc. It’s just that the way you’re talking about bulimia, it’s like you don’t think anyone can ever recover. And that’s nonsense. It’s possible.

By "desperate" I just meant that some people with bulimia want to get better and will go through anything to get better - That's what recovery is, it's hell that's worth going through. Treatment tends to be a part of that process. "All that" - other disordered behaviour one might develope such as frequently weighing oneself or constantly exercising, etc. It's just that the way you're talking about bulimia, it's like you don't think anyone can ever recover. And that's nonsense. It's possible.

You’re right, I’m very skeptical of recovery. I have never seen it work. I’ve been trolling these tumblrs and blogs for well over 2 years…even the “fully recovered” anorexics I followed for inspiration have privately asked me tips on how to start purging. You become quite cynical.

And I get the “all that” now. Digressing, some of the most heartbreaking posts are when girls get their scales taken away and they are terrified they are gaining weight. They start looking for all sorts of other ways to measure themselves without that security. There is so much pain in getting well.

I really hope recovery is possible, anon. I truly, deeply do. If it wasn’t, there would be no hope. THAT would be the most unbearable of all.

I do appreciate your interest, and will continue to respond to anything else left for me to the best of my limited ability.

Bulimia & Multiple Sclerosis & Depression. The holy trinity of a sick girl. Trying to make it through these diseases and come out on the other side more whole. Eating disordered for more years than not; addicted to beauty, male models, true crime, the unusual, my husband, color, pills, The Golden Girls, QaF, 80's new wave & progressive trance music, and binging/purging - and most of all, hiding what I really am from everyone. All we have is each other now, darling ~ let me help you ~ you've already helped save me.
