want to share some light
i’ve been non stop binge purging almost every single day since march 2025. i’ve had electrolyte imbalances, my teeth started to erode, accumulated so much filth in my room at one point, developed russels sign, struggled with acid reflux, extreme weight fluctuations, infected my wisdom teeth, spent so much money and so much time eating and throwing up but for the first time in over a year im 5 days clean. it really does help to view this as an addiction rather than a body image issue (although i recognise it being both). i literally turned all my mirrors around and stopped myself bodychecking, i stopped isolating myself from my friends, started showering again, keeping my room, trying to focus on self care and studying and it really did help me stay clean and busy. i hope i can keep this up and i js wanted to share a positive experience as motivation, i hope everyone here can take care 💕 it sounds easy to recover from bulimia when writing this out but genuinely i had days where i would binge purge like 6 times and i would just be sobbing because i was so sick of myself. even if i relapse im not going to let it affect me i just have to keep trying, life never stopped for me when i was stuck in this addiction and it never will
