I've been forced to quit bullimia for good. Please, do it out of your own will because things can always be worse!
Hey my fellow warriors, I'm writing this to inspire some of you to quit bullimia, hopefully for good.
I'm a 31yo male, been bullimic for 6 years now. It's a nightmare I know. It got so bad for me that when I went to check my bloodwork, doctors told me I needed multiple blood transfusions. Iron was low, hemoglobin was way below the limit, basically I was a mess.
While doing a bunch of tests, my doctor told me to get a colonoscopy (since I was having stomach/intestine pain which started because of daily vomiting). Hey, I thought bullimia was the culprit, and I would do transfusions and violla, I'd be good.
Sadly, they found a tumor in my colon. After surgery, days of unbearable pain and biopsy tests, I'm now facing months or even years of chemo for my stage 4 colon cancer which had spread to my liver. God, I wish I could go back to being "just" bullimic.
My stomach and intesties are in such bad shape that if I vomit I might cause internal bleeding and end up in the ER. Hence, I was forced to quit being bullimic for good. How ironic.
I'm not looking for sympathy or encouragement. I might not even be here a year later, who knows. But, please let this be a wake up call for you. I know how painful this disease is, and I know it seems impossible to quit, but believe me, it could be worse.
Don't damage yourself any further, health is a precious thing and I just now understood that. Go to the doctors frequently guys, do your blood work, and stay healthy!
