Bulimia stole 7,5 years of my life, ruined my teenage years and self confidence. It started when I was 13 and overweight, got bullied at new school. My parents didnt help me, and were busy fighting.

I feel alot of shame for spending so many years purging down the toilet up to 3-5 times a day. Even though I recovered by myself when I was older I still feel deep shame for wasting teenage years binging purging and shoplifting food like it was my only mission in life.

I didnt even lose weight after all that. It became a horrible habit that was difficult to stop, that spiraled out of control. I feel bad that I put my younger self through that. I feel alot of shame. How do you heal from shame?
