Dispelling the Myths On Bulimia: Myth #2 Is experiencing bulimia unique to females?

...See more It is not the case that only women develop eating disorders. Eating disorders do not discriminate, and the kinds of stresses and worries that might lead to developing an eating disorder aren't unique to one gender. The stigma surrounding eating disorders, and male sufferers, means that we cannot say in certainty how many men experience them – many men go undiagnosed. However, studies suggest that up to a quarter of bulimia suffers are male. You can get treatment for an eating disorder, no matter what gender you are or identify as, and full recovery is possible.

Addressing the Myths On Bulimia: Myth #1 Is bulimia all about weight?

...See more Bulimia (bulimia nervosa) is a serious mental illness and eating disorder that can affect anyone of any age, gender, or background. People with bulimia are caught in a cycle of eating large quantities of food (bingeing), and then trying to compensate for that binging by vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics, fasting, or exercising excessively (purging). It is important to recognise that it is normal for people who arent suffering from an eating disorder to choose to eat a bit more or overindulge occasionally, and this shouldnt be confused with a binge. People with bulimia dont feel in control of how much or how quickly theyre eating while they are binging. Sufferers may have a distorted view of their size, body shape, weight etc. Bulimia develops out of a complicated mixture of biological, psychological, and social factors, and it is a myth that bulimia is all about weight. For some, the tendency to develop an eating disorder is stimulated by a stressful life transition such as moving or going off to college. For others, it is due to feeling powerless over their hidden anguish and lacking effective skills to needed cope with negative feelings constructively. Bulimics may use food intake and weight control to find refuge from everyday emotional conflicts. Do you have anything to add? 🌺 Keep Fighting, and Stay Strong and Safe!
