Hi! Ive had bulimia for four years and am 22 weeks along. I have been binging and purging almost my entire pregnancy. I think i might need to seek treatment for it, but, im not sure. Should i be hospitalized? Thank you so much for your time

    Do we look like doctors? Seek medical attention ASAP for both yourself and LO.

    I would recommend you talking with your OB, seeking help from a mental health professional and a licensed nutritionist.

    I don't know if this is a troll or is just trying to cause drama, but I just have to step in just in case because of how close this hits to home for me.

    I'm begging you to see treatment if this is real. I'm 22 years old and I've had an eating disorder for 14 years. Yes, I was 8 when this started. My body started shutting down due to it because of wacked out potassium and just malnutrition in general last year from purging and starving constantly. I started having seizures. The fact that I was even able to conceive my son...it was something we weren't expecting. Both my husband and I did not think we could conceive because of it. I've had one missed miscarriage and two chemical pregnancies before this pregnancy due to my eating disorder.

    I am 21w1d, and I have not purged or starved since I found out. Hardest thing I've ever done. I cry my way through meals sometimes. My body is changing so fast and I'm freaking out. But I'm holding on. Please, please see someone. Get help. I haven't and I'm struggling a lot.
    You are better then me!! I want to say so much to this person but don't want to get banned since I to have struggled with an eating disorder and don't think it's something anyone should joke about! But you said it perfect! If this is true I really hope this person is getting help and not just asking for people's opinions on the internet!!!! As for you congratulations! stopping for your baby is an amazing thing and yes it is going to be very hard especially as you get further and your body changes but it is so worth! Just make sure to get lots of support as you get further and postpartum... The changes your body makes will be very hard to accept especially for people like us but know that it's not permanent and your probably more healthy this way then before. Good luck to you! Pm me if you ever need to talk.

    If you're using the app, it's a bug that sometimes shows your picture being used on someone elses profile. Most likely it was just a hiccup on your end, and she was never using your photo.

    I'm sorry, I  have never used anyone else's pick but my own. I do use the app on my phone. I was not aware that there was any issues with the app until now.

    @bootypop44 - I'm hoping you are trolling. As someone who has personally struggled with an eating disorder, this isn't funny. 

    If you are not just trying to start drama, first let me congratulate you for at the very least recognizing you have a problem. It's not an easy thing to do. That being said, you need to reach out to your OB about this right away. He/she will have better knowledge on how to help you than anyone on a chat board. You are likely causing danger to yourself and your baby. You absolutely need to seek professional help and treatment. This is a very serious issue.
