Bulimia made me meaner?
Question : Bulimia made me meaner?
So I have Bulimia and went to a Rehab center for eating disorders and I stopped purging (purging & restricting meals) but before I went to the Center place When i would purge it gave me a Temporary Numb-Satisfaction feeling with myself like I was Okay with being “me” for a while. But now hat I’ve stop purging Now I am so miserable with my self I am so uncomfortable inside ( && I know I could always start re-purging but I don’t want to go back to the Rehab center place thats what’s keeping me from doing it). And now my mom is always trying to understand or whatever and then I snap at her and fuss and yell at her but I don’t mean to do it on purpose. I have a really great mom but I am so mean to her ever since I started doing all this. && when I snap at her and make her feel bad but really it cause i feel bad about myself.
&& I know this is a weird question but how do I stop it? && I know that I can’t blame it on Bulimia… but please tell me how to stop.
Thanks.

You need to figure out what it is that’s really bothering you. I mean what is bothering you to the point of being bulimic? Being mean and snapping at your mother are only “side effects” and acting out. Figure out what it is you hate about yourself and start working on that.

Hey love,
First of all, CHILL. It’s going to be okay. I know what you mean about bulimia making you meaner and stuff, coz I’m the world’s worst person to be around when I don’t binge or purge regularly. Physiologically, it has to do with blood sugar ups and downs (which I never wanted to believe at first because i believed they were ‘excuses’ which my mind should be more intelligent than to ‘fall’ for them). Psychologically, I think the binge-purge, or just purge and restricting, cycle is sapping you of all your focus and attention that when you’re faced with other people, ie. your mum, you can’t be ‘bothered’ to be nice.
I don’t know much about you, but I know that whenever my mum tried to understand, I’d get oversensitive because I felt as though she was invading my space and I wanted to binge/purge/restrict in peace. And sometimes I’d want to talk to her but she says all the wrong things even though she doesn’t mean to.
To stop, the only option I can offer you is to eat enough and get enough nutrients. Enough combinations of carbs and proteins and fats and fibre at every meal. I’m currently working on this, and while it’s not perfect every time, I feel like I want to be with people now. Whereas when I’m having my ‘episodes’, all I want to do is retreat and withdraw and snap at everyone.
Good luck, k? Just keep at it. I don’t know how long you’ve been at this, but it’s never too late to get out. For once in my life, I actually want a life, lol
