ED is an addiction, too

[Nico]

I guess this is a bit general, but I thought I'd post it, anyway. I've struggled w/ED on and off for about 6 years--bulemia and anorexia. I just wanted to put out a note that it's a struggle and offer a place for anyone to talk about it, if they felt so inclined

peace

I had a minor case of bulimia (sp?) a few years back, but I was never addicted to throwing up. I actually hate throwing up (to this day!) I just did it because I'm overweight. But, I can understand how it can be an addiction. If anyone reading this has the disorder, please, seek help! Tell your parents or someone close to you. You can die from eating disorders (if it gets sever enough)!

I don't know anything about it, but I'm glad you folks have a place to be. I've always kind of wondered about it though. For drug addicts, abstinance is crucial for our restoration. That is not an option for ED. So how do you guys get better? I think there must be some lessons for all of us.

My friend told me that eating raw carrots helped. When she felt like throwing up, she'd peel a carrot and eat it. Carrots are the best answer in the world, apparently.

Oh I forgot... Ginger root as well. Try chewing on Ginger root, thats what the The ancient Chinese used it to help them with their Opium addictions.
