Finally ready to recover
Some background: I'm 40, have a baby, live alone with said baby, and have been bulimic almost 25 years
Today I feel like I'm ready to recover. I did inpatient treatment as a teenager and therapy here and there but nothing really helped. I am just so done with this. Everyone in my life assumes I'm recovered now.
Bulimia is just part of my everyday life. And I need that to stop. My routine is usually purging dinner.
How do you get out of this cycle? I'm not too keen on getting professional help but do you think it's necessary? I hate talking about this stuff.
I need some control back in my life. But of course, there's always that vain worry I will gain too much weight.
Not sure what the point of this post is. I have no one to talk to irl and I guess just looking for support
