Is it normal to push through college with an eating disorder?

100% Normal
2 Comments

I have been struggling with bulimia for 5 years, I've had counseling and tried outpatient and am going through waves of recovery. In the mean time I am also in college with one year left, but the eating disorder makes it so hard and stressful, I was in counseling but don't have time for it this term. My weight gain makes my self esteem terrible along with bad grades from not being able to focus. This is hard to go through but I really just want to finish school for I have already taken terms off each year. My boyfriend, parents, and friends all know about it but it is hard to talk about and relate with them how bad I feel about myself and I feel like I'm bottling up all these feelings so that whenever I do express them I break. Any words of encouragement help or stories if you have been in my shoes struggling through school with an eating disorder. Thanks, - Glass Vase

    I have no idea about these disorders or how to conquer them I can not relate but I do hope you finish school and I think it's perfectly normal to overcome this to finish your education for the better of yourself :D . I hope the eating disorder get's better , keep trying and keep your head up! I hope you are one day back to eating normally , you can do it!

    Bulimia... obsessive over-eating...

    encouraging words......

    yyyyeaaahhhh.... I'm sorry but that's not gonna happen from me. you're lazy and can't stop stuffing your fat face with food because you have NO willpower and now you wanna play the victim. You are not struggling with Bulimia. This is all just a comfortable lie because you are too much of a weakling to actually do something about it.

    They should write a song about you. Bulimian Rhapsody.

    Your mentality disgusts me.

    Have a good day further :)
