Hello all,

I'm recovering from bulimia and I wanted to add friends who have struggled with it as well or any ED to get support and be able to relate. I am not pro any of these eating disorders and I'm only here to try to lead a happier life.

Thanks(: x

    Hi there,

    I was in recovery from a eating disorder for a good while but recently I fell very ill and was on life support for 6 weeks... I am grateful to be alive... But I lost a lot of weight and was encouraged to regain Weight... I loved being so thin but in order for me to recover I had to gain weight.... I have put on the weight I lost and a little more .... I am scared I will keep getting bigger so I started purging.... At the moment I am not very mobile due to having painful joints etc I don't want to go back there. I want to lose a few of the extra pounds but I am so confused... Could do with some support. Not being able to be active doesn't help.. Some of my clothes are a little tight too ...

    I have struggled with binging, bulimia, and anorexia for a long time. Now I'm over exercising and just barely eating. I take in around 500 calories a day. I would love support to help overcome this. Most people tell me just eat, if only it were that easy. Feel free to add me.

    I suffer from Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder (B.E.D) and lately I've been starving myself a lot and I am trying to recover but eating just gives me guilt and sadness :(

    I've been a binge eater and an extreme restrictor. I have a terrible relationship with self image and some incredibly screwed up body ideals... but at least I am aware right? My motivation now is my son. The thought of him having these horrible thoughts about his amazing little self kills me. I am working hard towards health. Everyone feel free to add :)

    I'm 21, I've been in treatment for an ED before, and I'm always very careful trying not to trigger anyone. I have primarily struggled with anorexia, but recently started binging and gaining weight when I was already at a healthy weight. I want to lose it now in a "healthier" way, but I still struggle a lot with loving myself and my body. I can't be sure how healthy this mission of mine really is. I don't want to be sick again, but a part of me misses it.

    I would love to join anyone in the struggle of recovery. Years of anorexia has hurt me physically and mentally, but it's the years of recovery that's made me dedicated and positive about my outlook. EDs have a way of infiltrating every aspect of your life, and people will still just say "try eating more." It's never that simple. Please anyone add me if you want someone to talk to or to just know someone is on your side. I hope a better ED recovery community can be fostered on MFP, even if it feels like it's just us for now.

    I am too. I'm definitely struggling but I am receiving professional help and refuse to give up. I could definitely use a friend who understands this as well.

    I have worked with patients receiving treatment for ED. I wish everyone in this thread a healthy recovery. Stay strong and know that mfp is another tool you can use in your recovery process. Unfortunately there are a few people on here struggling with this and can come off as pro ED. Please watch for that and any other triggers that may pop up on a diet/fitness website. That being said, I know of quite a few members here who are fighting the same thing you are and doing great. Good luck. Feel free to add me as a friend

    you might consider OA group here. I'm not on it since I'm not one of the cool kids so I don't know how active it is or how supportive it is but it might be worth checking out.

    I have struggled with restricting and bed for 4 or 5 years now. I also go into times of depression and think I have some body dismorphia. I really want to get better and into more fitness. Would love someone to be able to talk to and be able to keep each other on track. Add me if you want !
