Are Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified serious enough for Inpatient treatm!


Question: Having a combination of Anorexic and Bulimic behaviors. Severe restriction for weeks or months, rapid weight loss but NOT underweight, then binging for days, not always self-induced vomiting, purging through diuretics/laxatives or fasting instead.

NOT underweight or overweight.
Also this has been a problem for 10 years.
Answers:
You do have a serious problem and you really should seek treatment. You could be underweight and not even realize it, that is part of the problem with anorexic and bulemics.

With bulemia,you can do things like pop your stomach, it's like a balloon that you keep feeling and releasing the air out of and filling and releasing the air out of pretty soon, the balloon becomes weak and then pops, you can also perforate your esophagus. Purging is a little more dangerous than what you think and as far as the laxatives you can dehydrate yourself. Sometimes Bulemia can cause other permanent damage to where you cannot keep food down at all.

Goodness! 10 years WOW! Well..you recognize that it's a problem and that is the first step to recovery. I hope that you do seek help. You are doing more harm to yourself than good

When you seek help, you will feel so much better, they will teach you healthy eating habits as well as healthy excercise plans.

Good luck to you sweetie. I wish you the best. Hang in there ;)

This poses a serious problem, health wise. This will eventually catch up to the one that is doing this if not under control. I think you all ready know the answer to this problem, just don't know how to deal with it. Log on to Anorexic disorders.
Aint no way 2 live!

Check the Yellow Pages for county or city run clinics
and check in.
omg, you should really seek help, this is a huge problem! Even if you're not underweight, you should really get control now, my friend was anorexic for about 7 years, and was pretty much so skinny she was on her death bed. Being that skinny isn't even pretty, it's disgusting. And while you may not be that bad, you nvr know. Being skinny is not even close to sacrificing your own health/life. And it may have been said like, 4000 times, but who says being a stick it sexy? You don't even look like a woman. My friend looked like a man! she was like 20 and weighed around 80 pounds. It was terrible!
Anorexia and Bulimia are not behaviors..they are disorders, and you need to seek treatment ASAP. If you don't give your body proper nutrition, it will take it where it can find it; example - calcium from bone and teeth. Dehydration by means of diuretics/laxatives is weakening your immune system and your entire body. It is good that you realize this is a "problem". That is a good first step. Please seek help immediately for your own wellbeing! Obviously, if you have been treating your body this way for 10 years, you are NOT able to treat these disorders on your own. Good luck and God Bless!
