Is It Normal to Have “withdrawals” From an Eating Disorder?
Question by Mystery: Is it normal to have “withdrawals” from an eating disorder?
I know this is probably a strange way to word the question, but I was wondering if it’s possible to have something like withdrawals from an eating disorder? I’ve been suffering with bulimia for a little over 2 and a half years. I’ve never been able to quite make it over a month without purging. For about a week now, I’ve been feeling different, like I don’t have an eating disorder anymore. I had to go to the ER in February due to chest pains, which I was diagnosed with esophageal spasms. I felt I needed to stop the purging, so I did it less frequently. I’m not sure exactly of the last time I purged, but I know I’ve done it at least three times, if not a little more, this month. However, I can’t really remember the last time I purged, and for the past week, I’ve been eating like a normal person, without worrying about it much. I have, however, been working out, only for an hour a day, about 4 times a week.
I just feel like I want my eating disorder back. I’ve wanted to purge the past two days, but haven’t because I have a painful cold sore, and because I’m paranoid, since my parents and brother know that I have a history of bulimia. I don’t want to be caught. I don’t talk to anyone about my disorder anymore except my boyfriend, though I feel obligated to hide it as I don’t want him to be hurt. I’m so confused and stressed out, and I constantly worry about small things. Like if my boyfriend doesn’t text me back, I get all anxious though I know he’s only playing xbox. And he asked me the other day if I’d be upset if he hung out with a friend who is a girl, and I said no because I hang out with a guy friend (but he’s gay…), and I guess I’m just a little jealous because before he and I got together (we were best friends of 4 years before dating), he told me he found this girl sexy. I know he only loves me, but I’m a little uneasy, though I know he’d never cheat. I’m guessing it’s because I’ve been cheated on and used in the past, especially by a person I truly cared about. I’m very much in love with my boyfriend now, and I’m so scared of losing him. I just keep worrying about small things. I know I can’t go to a counselor, as I don’t have the money, so I have to figure out a way to deal with all this on my own. So I was wondering if anyone had any advice?
I’m sick of my eating disorder doing what it’s doing… my teeth have so many cavities and they have turned yellow… I just want to be free, but I also just want to binge and purge… what can I do? I want to talk to my boyfriend about all this, but I can’t… I just don’t know how, and I’m afraid of pushing him away, though as my best friend, I’ve always been able to talk to him about anything… what should I do?
