My Eating Disorder Story

I am 27 years old and I have struggled with eating disorders since I was 11.

In my early teens I struggled with Anorexia. It got so out of control that I even thought Ice would get me fat. Needless to say, I ended up in the hospital. I got into a healthy work out and eating schedule and felt great.

In my early twenties, my eating disorders came back. I would work out 4-5 hours per day and I wouldn't eat over 900 calories per day. I took all sorts of kinds of pills not to gain weight and to help me lose weight.

In 1998, I ended up back in the Hospital and was diagnosed with anxiety panic disorder. A result form abusing my body for so long. I struggled with that and my eating disorders. I was put on Paxil and gained a lot of weight.

I have switched medicines. My anxiety and panic disorder is under control, THANK GOD, knock on wood. However, now I have bulimia. I purge anywhere from 3-8 times a day. I feel guilty every time I eat. My stomach has started hurting, my throat hurts, and my teeth are turning yellow.
