I posted a while ago re: my bulimia, I received several responses and deleted them all because I had decided I could do this by myself and just needed to stop being stupid. But... recently has gotten worse and worse. I've been completely open w/ my husband this time around but he doesn't know how to support me. I think if I had someone to talk to that has been or is going through this it might help.

What can I do next?

my stepdaughters mom had similar problems. she ended up getting treatment at a place in St. Louis, mercy ministries, i think is the name. i guess they provide counceling and such, and its free if you really need it. it was worth her to go away and get treatment, because of the fact it is so dangerous physically and mentally.
Have you went to any local support groups? I suggest talking openly with your family doctor too. dont try to do it on your own, bulimia has very life threatening consequenses. getting to the bottom of how it all started is important in treating it.
ill be thinking of you.

I had anerexia when I was younger, it was a control thing. I didn't have any control in my life. Anorexia made me feel in control.(but I was out of control if that makes any sence) It is always good to have someone to talk too. Although I don't know exactly what you are going through. I am very non judgmental and would be more than happy to talk with you. ____@____.com

I wish that I was just a little closer to you!! I have been going throught this with my step mom for 13 years and she doesn't seem to want to listen. I am glad that you have made the decision to get better!!! I was in the beginning stages of bulimia when I was 14 and my family and friends caught on to me early and with their support I was able to over come some parts of my life that I felt that I was not able to control. Mamasource is here for you and if you want to talk further I will be here to listen and help in any way

J.: I have been through bulimia myself and with my girlfriend. It is a tough thing to face and ask for help with. He husband seperated her from me and we both got worse. He did this because he said that we were encouraging each other to do this and in all actuality, we were helping each other from vomiting. She was happy and carefree when she was away from her husband, but when she knew that he was coming home from his job, she would get worse and no matter what I did or said to help her, it did not work. She got so bad that she was bleeding internally and we had to take her to the hospital. I have since lost track of her, because she left her husband and they both moved away from here. I know that deep in my heart I will again find her someday. If you ever want to talk I am here to listen. my email address is ____@____.com

J.,
I'm sorry you are going thru this. You are very strong to know when you need to ask for help. that's very admirable!
I can't say i have been thru bulimina myself. I had a friend in my early 20's that was bulimic and anerexic(sp). She finally was put in therapy with a feeding tube.
Since then, i've heard, she has had a child and got married.
If you need to talk, i'll listen as well as i can and try to help.
have you thought about couseling for you and your husband so he can learn the ways he can help you? is he willing to learn ways to help you?
