I had an eating disorder for 10 years. Im finally done?

Question

For ten years I was bulimia. I went to the hospital last week and had three bags of pottosium in me. I am so blooded I can't even fit in my jeans. I went from 106 to 114. I know that its because of the bags and IV's that I had. I done with my disorder and now I have a fear of gaining weight. I am eating little portions of meals but I am eating food like a 3 year old because nothing will stay in my system.. How much weight am I going to gain? And will the swelling go down from the I V's that I had. I am seeking help now but I feel so bloaded from the I V's and now that I am eating its making it worse. But I am not going back to my disease. Im done. But how do I at least maintain my weight. I don't want to get any bigger. Will the swelling from the I V's go down, and how long will it take?

Answer 1

Bulimia is a psychiatric condition. You need to speak to a mental health professional (psychiatrist or psychologist). It doesn't just go away, it is a complex condition which can take awhile to figure out. You should also see a primary care physician and nutritionist to help you with your nutritional/dietary needs. I believe that there are also support groups which might be helpful to you where you can meet others with bulimia who can share their insights with you. Please get help for this serious condition!
As for the swelling from the IV, this is the least of your problems but yes it will resolve.

Answer 2

You are not finished with your disorder by any means if you are freaked out about the bloating from the IV.

Good heavens, let's get a reality check here. You are very ill, have been in the hospital for this disorder and the only thing you are concerned about is "getting bigger".

I strongly suggest you contact a counselor for psychological counseling before you go into the hospital and don't walk out again. You are killing yourself by not eating.
