Am I beginning an eating disorder

I have always been overweight even as a young teenager (but I was not as big as I am now)

Also I have a history of depression, anxiety and PTSD

Recently in the last two weeks I have begun throwing up every meal, especially if I have binged or

gorged on meals, I want to be a mental health nurse so I know this isn't right but I feel so much better when I purge or vomit my food out.

Am I becoming bulimic or is this just me being over-reactive

Any advice or help would be appreciated

    Stop now before you cause yourself serious damage.

    Take it from someone that knows how devestating bulimia is, it is a sickness and is soul destroying thing that it is...

    Start eating healthy now, exercising and doing what everyone else has to do to loose weight.

    I am still aggressively bulimic, have depression, aniexty & have even hospitalised myself twice with potassium deficiency and stomach ulcers.

    All I can say is after 2 weeks ... You have a choice, soon you won't have that choice and I promise you it will take everything you love away from you.

    Meals with friends, boyfriends, evenings with friends, drinking, sleeping, working, moving, thinking, hearing, rationalality, every happy feeling. The only thing you will think about is what your going to eat and when your going to make yourself sick, what foods are easy to throw up, what is quickest to through up, ways of hiding food, how to find the money to buy the food you eat to throw up.

    If that sounds fun to you, ain't weightloss is worth giving up your life for; carry on.

    I wish that someone had been there to tell me what I've just told you .

    Hi Bailey93

    Thank you so much for your honest reply

    I have already started having only food on my mind and wanting to eat alone, without any one else watching. The worst thing was is actually I was thinking this food was not easy to pass back up so I will avoid that

    I am really going to try and stop myself as I know it's a sickness and part of me feels so ashamed as I

    want to be a mental health nurse and I know this is not a quick solution thing.....or a fad as some people call it

    I know it sounds pathetic but I feel so sad at the moment, but I know this is not the right thing to do

    thank you so much I really appreciate it
