I feel so alone in the fact that bulimia made me gain weight, it just feels horrible idk what to do??? (Advice appreciated)

TW: Potentially upsetting content

(Btw im seventeen and im diagnosed with bulimia, and starting treatment soon)

Like the title says I feel alone in the fact that I’ve gained weight due to my bulimia, and logically I know that I can’t be the only one who’s gained weight but I feel like I am.

Like everyone I see with bulimia is just skinny and I wasn’t even skinny to begin with, it just makes me feel less worthy somehow. Like I’m still stuck in this disgusting body that I just feel worse about everyday.

I also know that weight doesn’t determine whether you have an ED or not, but I still can’t let go of those thoughts and feelings. I feel less worthy and less valid in my struggle, because I keep gaining weight and it just makes me feel absolutely miserable and I feel so fucking alone. The fact that it’s only been really bad for like a bit more than half a year makes me feel even worse, I’ve gained so much weight since then and I just feel disgusting. I don’t know what to do atp??

If anyone has advice or encouragement that would be appreciated.
