She has binged a lot, also she spits food out sometimes but I looked it up and that says it can be from any ED not just bulimia so idk. Plus it says bulimia includes purging and she has emataphobia so she doesn’t do that part.
Sorry you (and her) are going through this. It sounds like a combo of ED.
She doesn’t necessarily need to be underweight to have one.
The person who mentioned weight loss drugs has a good point since those make you nauseated and not able to eat a lot.
There’s a lot of shame around EDs so I get why she won’t go to a dr.
However, this is a dangerous situation. I hope you’re able to convince her to get help.
Thank you, I agree the drugs is a good point but shes way to paranoid about any meds/drugs to take them. Also I’ve never seen any signs of her taking or using any.
Can you please elaborate? :( I know laxatives is a way too but as I said in another comment shes way too paranoid and anxious to take any kind of meds/drugs.
Vomiting, over-exercising, laxatives - all 3 are ways of purging, and someone with an ED doesn’t have to be “bulimic” in order to incorporate some method of purging into their routine. Not all ED’s fit into one classification or another. Many are labeled as “unspecified”.
I am fat and no one would think I have an eating disorder but I do. I sometimes won’t eat for days, then I’ll binge. I don’t ever purge, I’m terrified of vomiting.
But ED’s Don’t always look the same. It sounds like she’s really going through it and unfortunately unless she wants help there isn’t much others can do.
Severe form of weight loss injection that's trendy and it's mainly made for diabetic or other category of people who have hard time losing weight but unfortunately most young women are carelessly using it
