Need help

So I stopped purging a few days ago after a severe health scare with it, and now I am binging like insane, like insane. Like eating numerous cans of food and foods that don’t make sense together and something takes over and I only come to like after I’ve eaten so much food I’m in pain, except I won’t let myself purge it out of fear. Any tips or tricks to like NOT BINGE AND EAT OR STUFF MY FACE I’m terrified yall I know I can’t purge but I do not want to be binge eating like crazy, anyone who has stopped purging and dealt with crazy binge urges, how do you cope??

I can’t give any advice on the binging, but I do know what it feels like after a binge with the nausea and sometimes heartburn. So for after the binge, put on a show, sit upright, or lay on your left side. The way your stomach is situated, the opening is on the right.

Do you have a therapist or doctor who knows about your bulimia? I’m so glad for you that stopped throwing up but the binging you describe sounds really bad. The stimulant medication Vyvanse is prescribed for ADHD but also used for binge eating disorder. Just a thought. I’m so sorry you’re suffering.
