A question about purging

Every two or three days I can't help but to find food :( I can go a few days with out eating but when I eat a small paper cup of ice cream and about a hand full of yummy cheese! I feel so bad and run to the toilet ASAP. I have only done this about four times over the last two weeks. But last night there was a few spots of blood they were about the size of a five cent piece. It don't really bother me to much because it's the first time and I believe I am just going to have to go longer with out food till I get to my desired weight witch I am well on my way. I look at food and smell food but I just can't bring my self to eat it and it makes me sad that I want it :(

Any way I am getting side tracked I was wondering if anyone can tell wether this is normal or not ??

I hope you are not starving yourself! That is simply not a healthy way to loose weight. I would speak to your doctor about the spots of blood. Please do take care of yourself and get some help to loose weight in a sane and sustainable fashion.

Hugs,

I do not know for certain, but they could be VERY serious signs of a problem with your stomach, and possible ulcers. Starving yourself and purging what little you eat creates excess stomach acid damage over time, and your time may have come. I had a relative develop this ulcerative condition. Please talk to your doctor ASAP, I am on a reducing diet that is designed to last several months, but I do have a balanced, nutritious diet that I plan for my self, but there sure as heck is not a lot of food there. (Being diabetic, I know the dangers of too little food!!) Please, again, please see your doctor.

PS, another relative who purged often now has a full set of dentures at age 32 due to tooth damage from refluxed stomach acid.

Hi Jessica,

Blood is your stool can be the sign of a possible serious condition.
I highly recommend that you contact a medical professional and speak to them about this.

One organization that may be helpful for you is the:

National Eating Disorders Collaboration in Australia http://www.nedc.com.au/young-people

They have a free 8 Tips for dealing with Eating Disorder PDF.

http://www.nedc.com.au/files/Resources/Young%20people%20resource.pdf

Starting on page 12, is “Know the risks of Dieting”

It lists some helpful information.

About one in 20 Australians has an eating disorder and the rate in the Australian population is increasing.

There are many helplines in Australia to help you with Eating Disorders.

http://www.nedc.com.au/helplines

I am concerned about your health, so please contact a professional to help you with your dieting.

I hope that I have been of some help to you.

Please continue posting any questions that you may have so that we ay assist you.

I wish you Success and Happiness in your Journey. :wub:

Hugs,

Carla

Please don't starve yourself to get to your desired weight, Jessica. I've gone down that road and the cost of it all is not worth it.

I've puked blood, went days without eating, and have been hospitalized several times for it. Living with stomach problems for the rest of your life is awful. I can't eat a single almond without having a stomach ache or without feeling like I'm about to vomit. Nor can I get through a day without my vision blacking out from hunger.

Recovery is a really hard thing to do, but it's best to start now because you truly can't go on like this. It only took me a year of purging to be forced into a hospital but I have a long way to go to get better.

Best of luck Jessica.

If you are going a few days without food, all you will do is mess up your body chemicals. Purging what you eat is not the way to lose weight. Vomitting blood is see the doctor time. You must be fed up with hearing this. But take it seriously. Don't play down what you are doing. Tell the whole story to the doctor. Give them a chance to get you well.

All these people have written to you because they care.

Take the next step. You have done the hardest one.

Told some one what you are doing. If you can tell us, you can tell a doctor. They will not be shocked.

Write back.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3

      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
