Can't purge?

[Save_Me]

I've been throwing up for about a month now but It takes forever for me to purge and sometimes I just can't. It's really frustrating and I just end up hurting myself more when I can't purge. Does anyone know why this is or how I can get myself to throw up again?

Hey there,
I'm sorry, but I can't endorse nor give you tips about hurting yourself, it is against the rules, and is unethical. I would recommend you see a professional about your eating disorder, and if you're worried something may be wrong with your gag reflex or something, see a doctor. I will tell you now that purging, and the cycles that come with it, is not a lifestyle you want to live, and that if you have only been purging a month, I would recommend getting help now to save yourself a lot of suffering in the future.
Stay safe, stay strong, message me if you ever need!

This isn't a thinspiration forum so no one will give you tips on how to make your ED better.

I think the fact that you can't purge anymore is that your body has had enough and your gag reflex isn't what it used to be. It's a sign to slow down, see a professional that deals in Eating Disorders.

Like they both said, we can't give you tips on how to purge. Any tips given will be edited out by me.

Anyhow, the fact that you can't purge should be taken as a sign that you shouldn't be doing it at all. This is not a rad you want to go down. Promise. I was bulimic off and on for about five years, and I had crap for teeth, trouble swallowing, and a narrow esophogus. It's gross. Very gross. There are other ways to lose weight. You could lose weight by eating healthy and exercising. That's the best way to lose weight. Why are you feeling as though you need to purge? Can you talk to someone about this? I really encourage you NOT to engage in an ED, because you'll regret it. Once you're sucked in, it's hard to get out of.

Take care<3

Hey

Your not going to find anyone here who is going to encourage you to purge your food. It's really upsetting to hear your wanting those tips to make yourself sick.

I understand how frustrating it may be for you when you are so desperatly trying to get the food out of your body, but you really need to try and take this as a positive thing. You must have done a lot of damage to your body already, please try and prevent any further harm. You sound like your really hurting yourself when your trying but aren't able to make yourself sick, that's so worrying, your poor body Does anyone know about your problem? It's been going on for a month now, I doubt you'll be able to keep it a secret for much longer. Can you think of anyone you'd feel comfortable confiding in?

I remember times in my life where my life revolved around binging and purging and I'd plan it all week, get up so early and spend a horrendous amount of money on food that I really couldn't afford. It's really a cycle you don't want to get in, it's so unhealthy and not a nice head space to be in. Speak out now, before it's too late.

Here if you need anyone, take care <3

If your body doesn't want to do it, there is normally a reason for it.

Seek help for this. It's a sad thing when someone is going on the internet for tips on how to destroy themselves because no one in real life will aid them. Eating disorders do just that, they destroy you. Seek help as soon as possible. The sooner you start recovery the better.

Hi,
Like everyone already said, no one here is going to give you tips on how to purge. If your body is not letting you throw up any more then there is most likely a reason. I think you should see your doctor to get checked out and to make sure there isn't something wrong, and you doctor can help get you in to see a therapist and psychatrist, which is something that you should really do.

If your body is not allowing you to vomit without great difficulty, you should stop for a moment and think about what you are doing. Call up a friend, distract yourself, and give your body a break. It's a good thing you are not able to purge easily or else this would be more of a common occurrence, yes? There are girls I know who are able to vomit easily after years of abuse to their bodies, none of them happy for the ability to do so. Have you spoken to anyone about your eating disorder yet? TeenHelp is a pro-recovery site so we all want for you to get the help and support you need during these difficult times when it is most important. You are not alone.

Be good to yourself.
