EATING DISORDER TAG

Sorry the sound seems to be off from the actual video I did this all on my phone this morning but here is my eating disorder tag video! Questions: 1. How old were you when your ed began? 2. Did you decide to recover or were you made to? 3. What were you diagnosed with? 4. Do you binge? 5. Do you purge? 6. Who did you first watch on UA-cam ed wise? 7. Have you ever signed up to a pro Ana website...

    Honestly I am terrified by the algorithm. I just heated up 2 bags of very strong lax tea that I am going to let steep for 10 minutes. Recommend 1 bag steep for 2 minutes max a day. I literally just walked into my room and turned on UA-cam and this is 3rd video recommended on my fyp. I didn’t even say lax tea out loud or type about it. Like how did UA-cam know?!

      I developed bulimia after binge eating disorder. I purge 4 different ways. 🤮 after I eat, laxatives, fasting and over exercising. And I go to a mental health day program, have a dietitian, take a nutrition class and live in a group home. I lose weight fast but every time I lose 20 pounds I binge.

    I figured out after I had knee replacement surgery that my roommate was speaking my prescription laxatives that she is definitely abusing them. I was prescribed them after being on pain medication for a length of time. But I haven’t used them as I know my system will kick in. When she was complaining that she messed oh herself (saying she has a virus, about the 20th in six months) thinking I wouldn’t figure it out. Ive had to confront her and its not an easy thing to do. She weighs about 359 lbs, but keeps telling me she weights over 200, I am over 200 and she is twice my size. Its a problem as she is over eating to the point I cant buy groceries by the month and only by the week. Even then she will sit down and eat entire box of pop tarts, bag of resee’s of box of ice cream . Ive had to stop buying all of this.

    Thank you for sharing this. My mother used to abuse laxative so much that she was misdiagnosed in having chrones disease. This was about 40 years ago when no one knew about it, Now I am 54 and my roommate is using them and as well as making herself vomiting. She is also bipolar. So I carefully have to talk to her about it….being the one who cleans the bathroom I know she is abusing them as now she losing control of her bowels….I am over weight myself but do to being disabled. I have had multiple joint issues so I lose weight calorie counting. I have talked to her about it, she tells me sometimes she uses it but through washing her clothes, and cleaning and the one who cooks, I know she is abusing them. I did get her to make an appointment with the stomach dr and she asks me to go with her to tell the truth. I want to support her, but her over eating is out of control, abusing laxatives and bulimia . Thank you for the video.

      Namtiddies GD I experienced this many times and it’s important to understand that laxatives are a form of purging and just like with vomiting it can cause your electrolytes to become all out of balance which can be dangerous for your heart and potentially fatal. I’m not a doctor but try to make sure you get some fluids and electrolytes back into your body

    Steffani, Thank you for sharing your story. Your super brave to put it out there for others to hear. I personally have dabbled with abusing laxatives and I'm definitely worried it will turn in to something more serious, currently I use them if I feel bloated or If i have eaten too much but I know that is not what they are intended for. I did find that I have binge phases, where I use them for many days at a time and then stop. Or go weeks with noting and then take a bunch to in my mind "cleanse" myself out....tmi , like you said its not a pretty topic to discuss or come clean about... The worse for me is when I become incredibly nauseous and excruciating stomach cramping few hours after taking them. I know what I am doing is not right, like you said your felt, but it seems harmless at first, if anything it seems therapeutic in a way , as you tend to feel like your getting att the bad stuff out of your body. I honestly haven't told any of my family or friends as I am quite older thank you, i'm 37 , I'm a grown women and A,.should know better than to do something like this, and B .I have never done anything like this my entire life, but I also did not have any weight on my like I do now until a couple years ago, I was always at a healthy weight. So I tink my weight gain has really caused me mentally to feel like this is ok to do ...but I know its not. Anyways, Thank you for sharing your experience and I definitely think when I see my GP, I am going to mention to her what I ave been doing , maybe she can help me deal with it on a healthier level.

    Please young woman can you remember if your body was able to go to the bathroom without them. Or is what you are saying bloating, is that from not being able to go on your own? I need to know soon please. Yes I'm older but I don't think I have an eating disorder. I don't eat much but I WAS taking about 120mg of narcotics a day and I am down to 20mg a day. But I can't go potty without the meds. Hope you can help. I am seeing three doctors but each specializes in something different. I don't know how this is going to get fixed if I don't take a dominant hand in it. I don't eat much but it's because I'm not hungry not because I want to be a smaller person. Humm, well I sorry of thing that's true. It's a very long tale to tell. Maybe later. Thank you very much for your time.

    Laxative abuse is extremely painful. I became obsessed, with taking the pill I honestly was addicted to the relief that started to come with just taking them, my stomach pains came on so sudden, I couldn't move with them, I was crying but every time o ate I took 2 more depending on size of meal, also I took 8 every morning and every night. The anxiety that comes with not taking them when I stopped was crippling. It was really nice to see your video and be able to relate, I didn't think I had a problem either, knew it was not good but didn't think I had an eating disorder
