eating again
ok so i am trying to recover from anorexia and everytime i eat i end up throwing up and i know this is just as bad as starving but even if i eat just the tiniest thing i throw up and i want to get better but at this point its making it almost impossible. now i dont even get hungry but i force myself to eat. what should i do
Have you considered maybe inpatient? If you're trying to recover from anorexia, you can't replace that with bulimia. If you have a therapist, talk it out with them to! Or make a list of reasons why you want to recover :)
@depressedbug - when you're first starting to eat again after so long of restricting, your body can struggle to handle it and reject the food, making you throw up like you're saying. You have to take it slow, but keep pushing your body to handle a little more. Two things that can help are 1. if your body is struggling with the volume of food, eat things that are high calorie and full of nutrients, but low volume, so that your stomach doesn't have to have as much but you are still being nourished and 2. try liquids - sometimes it can be easier to keep down fluids, so you could try to get your stomach more used to food by drinking soups, smoothies, etc., as you work towards solid food.
Hope those help. You can get through this.
