26 & Panic'ing Bulimic

[zoe050]

I'm Zoe. I'm 26 and I'm suffering from panic attacks, anxious and depressive thoughts and bulimia.
Life is tough right now but i'm getting through it! Although, i need the panic attacks to cease. I feel like im suffocating and I get them on the tube, so I try to walk or travel by bus. And the bulimia, well, its ruining my body. My heart beats irregular sometimes and i know its not good but i feel so good and so in control of my life after i do it, so its like a win lose situation..
Nothing ever works out for me, and everything that can go wrong, has been going wrong for over a year now.. I don't know how its universally possible sometimes! I just wish it would all stop and things could actually go right occasionally! Talk to me if you've been through something similiar?

Just wanted to say hi, I was dropping by this website as I am off to see my doctor this am to talk new meds.

Eleven years ago I was 31 and suffering from long term bulimia and exercise disorder (since I was a child). My GP put me in touch with the psychiatry team and we worked out a plan. I started on prozac which is one of the main drugs out there which can help with bulimia and I slowly increased my dose to 60mg a day. I had Cognitive Behavioral therapy once a week and I saw a dietician once every few weeks. It took a few years but I beat bulimia and I now have a normal relationship with food and my own body. Sadly I still have depressive addiction disorder so I am changing from the prozac which helped me cure my bulimia. But at the time it was a wonder drug for me. At the time I was unable to function without doing crazy amount of exercise and I was binge eating or starving. I wish you so much luck. Bulimia is a crippling condition to deal with.
