Hi cherrybum, sorry you're feeling so low. The starving/purging will not be doing your braincells much good. I had the same problem, and would forget what I was going to say half way through a sentance! (although I could always remember things from way back). I have found a lot of help in taking spirulina, a blue-green algae. It seems to give the nutrients that the mind/body need to function properly. I have noticed such a difference since taking it in the way I think and feel (and look), also, b/p doesn't even enter my head most days, probably because I am getting the nutrients I need. I would also make sure you are not dehydrated, and a good source of Essential Fatty Acids are a good idea, I take fish oil, Flax Oil or coconut oil are very good too. Wishing you well,

You seem to be suffering from anxiety and mental Depression which is making you feel like symptoms which do not seem within your control. Homeopathic Medicine has good remedies like Argentum nitricum, Ipecac, Ignatia, Aurum met, Natrum mur etc. to give you relief from your symptoms and anxiety too.

It sounds like you may have candida -- an overgrowth of yeast in your system that can create digestive illness and foggy thinking/lack of concentration. Many of us with bulimia have it, although most doctors don't know how to test for it. Consider picking up The Body Ecology Diet, by Donna Gates. It is a way of eating that creates body repair and starves off the yeast. It takes commitment and dedication -- it's not a quick fix. But it works. If you've tried everything else and found nothing that helps, try this. After 16 years of bulimia & trying everything under the sun -- this did it for me. I am now recovered, no more cravings and I feel great.

I write about it in my blog, if you want more information. http://TranscendBulimia.com -- it's down for maintenance today (3/12/06), but will be back up shortly.
