If you cant tell im a bit conflicted. I was so bad for so long. at the beginning of the year my doctor told me that my heart beat was so slow that I was going to have a seizure or a heart attack or a stroke within the month. to go from that, to a total clean bill of health and no symptoms of bulimia is dizzying. im so scared that if I make myself sick even once that I will relaps and not have the will to come back out of it again. but I have these extreme mood swings. pretty much im terrified that I’m pushing away my boyfriend, who was the one person in all of my 8 years to confront me. he wants to help but he is frustrated by my anxiety, and fluctuating moods. I just don’t know who I am without bulimia. I am frustrated at not having memories of holiday dinners, birthdays, vacations. all I remember is panic and guilt. I want to move on, and physically I have, but my mind is still stuck in it. I guess I just need support from people that understand how overwhelming it is.
