Vomiting SH??

[dreamer18xx]

I'm pretty sure I don't have a eating disorder but I'll make myself vomit on purpose if I'm upset with myself. I think my SH is getting worse it went to once every couple of months to once a week. So not proud of myself currenty but I don't know how to get better.

Purging could be viewed as self harm, im not to sure? It's very bad for you though, I mean it could be worse than cutting because it can damage you inside as well. Im not sure what but it does make your teeth yellow because of the acid.

Talking to someone could help. Have you got a friend or someone to confide in. A school councelor to see because they can give you advice and support that would be so much harder to get if you're on your own.

you damage your insides when you do that you gotta stop if will lead to horrible problems

I understand that this is not an eating disorder, but you should talk to some of the bulimics there (myself included) about not doing that. It's worse than cutting, because like everybody else eaid, it damages your insides.
Wall-punching can sometimes work as an alternative. It doesn't scar you, though it is still a form of self-harm. Hopefully you'll be able to wean yourself off of SH.
Good luck :hug:

I have used vomiting as a way of self harm in the past, and I know how destructive it is, emotionally and physically. It started as great - a way to get food out of my system and grab a kick of adrenaline at the same time, but it got bad. I felt like I had to throw up, not that I wanted to. My mind controlled me, told me to do it when I felt depressed or worthless, or when I'd eaten too much. Once or twice recently I'd even binged, just so I could throw it up.
My hair became brittle and snapped easily, and I gained weight not lost it - I also became weak and shaky, even more depressed and tired. I got headaches and I couldn't eat because of a constant raw throat. Eventually I was hospitalised due to a diabetic ketoacidosis collapse that was probably not helped by the fact that I'd purged so much.
Try and find other outlets, I sometimes draw on myself everything I think, it's a stupid idea but I'd rather do that over cutting or purging, because then at least I don't feel so guilty later ^^
It really isn't worth it, so try and be strong. :hug: If you need a little support I'm always here, so you can drop by and give me a message or something if you need.

Okay thanks everyone for the support I'll try to use other outlets I do draw but sometimes it isn't enough. I'll try harder though :)

when people self harm but cutting or burning .... it releases endorphins in your brain which kind of acts like a natural morphine (pain killer) im not an expert (obv) but when people have bulimia and they purge it releases the same endorphins into your brain and calms you down.

i guess you could say that when you make yourself sick your getting the same purposeful effect as when people cut?

Yes, it is self harm, and yes, it is worse than cutting. I used to throw up for the very same reason (then later turned into bulimia..) and it is not something you want to start up and get addicted to... not at all.. It can rot your teeth, damage so many internal organs, the list goes on. It sucks, and it is so hard to recover from :/
