Question posed by Sydney: What are some songs about bulimia or children’s hospitals?
I am doing a book report and there is a character who is bulimic in the book.
For a “creative” part of the assignment, I am making a soundtrack.
Does anyone know any songs about bulimia or children’s hospitals?

My chosen answer:

Answer by LHW78
“Fatso” by The Story. The quintessential eating disorder song. I heard it for the first time when I was (where else) in a treatment program for eating disorders. It’s on Itunes.

Anorexia Story Through Pictures

One of the many excellent videos I have discovered recently on the topic of anorexia.

A slideshow of me and the stages of my eating disorder. I cannot believe that I was so underweight and thought i was way over the normal. You can watch this video and get a glimpse into my life when I was anorexic, but this video doesn’t even begin to tell the story or the struggle of thousands of other girls… or my own. Speaking from a personal basis, you cannot see the cold, purple, numb hands, the lanugo covering my shivering body, my hair falling out in clumps, the cold, dark hands, and that’s speaking from a personal basis. I just spoke with an old teacher who had me when I was at my worst, and she told me I look miserable, had no friends, that the only conversations we had had were about food, that I was very hostile when asked if I had anorexia, would wear several layers of clothes at any time, including sweatshirts in the summer, spoke very, very fast due to OCD and being on the edge I guess, would zone out in class, etc. There are so many horrible memories I have from anorexia, and I hope to help girls suffering and also encourage eating disorder awareness.. hopefully to prevent the onset of this horrible disorder which becomes your life. Thank you everyone for the positive comments. If you’re going to leave negative comments, I hardly care. I can’t stop you. You will not get recognized; the troll will not be fed. If anyone has any questions concerning my eating disorder and treatment, for I obviously couldn’t include my entire life in a few minute that was

Binge Eating Disorder Queen

When it comes to bing eating this video provides some great insights.

Yes I was the queen of binge eating disorder. I suffered from BED binge eating disorder for the majority of my life. I have not binged this whole year and do not intend to binge for the rest of my life. The first step of overcoming this disorder is figuring out the emotions your using the binge to cope with. And dealing with those emotions. I have no problem laying all this out here about my disorder because addictions and disorders feed on shame and secrecy. They don’t like totally honesty and to be true to who I am as a person and to live my best life this honesty is essential.

A question from dogsrule93: What is the diffrence between bulimia and binge and purge anorexia?
Hi,

I am doing a research paper on eating disorders, and in my research, I have found that there are two sub types of anorexia- restricting and the binging and purging type. To me, the binging purging anorexia sounds very much like bulimia. If you could tell me the distinguishing characteristics between the binging purging type of anorexia and bulimia, that would really help with the report. THANKS!!!!

The top answer:

Answer by PattyKate
there’s definitely some overlap between the too, but i think the main difference is bulimics binge and purge constantly, while anorexia binge-purge type is restricting but when they binge (it’s bound to happen) they purge
