Quoth the Raven, Nevermore asked:
I have been bulimic for a year and a month now, and I’ve noticed I have dark circles under my eyes. I’m not sure if they were there before, I haven’t really noticed. But even when I get enough sleep, it’s still dark. Could bulimia be causing this? If so, how?
I’m not asking like it’s nothing. I know it’s bad for me. I didn’t say I wasn’t getting help. I just wanted to know if that was the reason.

put ice under ur eyes everyday for like 20 mins
Yes, your body isn’t absorbing enough vitamins, your body needs food to get it’s vitamins or you will eventually die
Yes any eating disorder can cause that. It’s because you’re A not getting proper nutrition or B just not getting enough
yes it can, when you become more skinny, the skin all around you starts to become more loose , and more importantly around your eyes. So yes, you will start to get bags under your eyes. Do not become bulimic, it’s definitely not a healthy way to lose weight.
idk if it causes darkness of the eyes…
…but it does cause nasty of the ***…
why would you post that here? little girls look to this site for advice and you mention bulimia like its nothing.
Stop worrying about your under eye circles and get some help. please.
Among other things like death..
yep, vitamin deficiency. you are slowly going to die if you do not get the appropriate nutrition. go see a dr and a psychologist. Bulimia will cause all sorts of problems that you never thought of. in fact, in another 6 months or so, your teeth will begin to rot if they have not already. your mouth will look alot like the mouth of a meth addict. your hair will fall out and your skin will become blotchy and pale. your bones will become weak and you will be much more susceptible to illness. your organs may not functions correctly and you will do unrepairable damage to them. if you keep on you will do so much damage that you will die a young death or shave off decades of your life.
For one, you need to decide which is more important, your well being, or your social appearance. The reason you are getting dark bags, is because your body needs nutrients to help support your body, it could be lack of blood flowing to your head. Having a eating disorder will kill you if you keep going with it. Like I said before whats more important to you, being popular in high school, or living your life?
It really stinks when you want an answer for something like that, though everyone blurts out how your life sucks when you probably have normal day to day activities. If they’re asking about dark circles, then answer to that. Don’t make them feel like crap, if they want help they can get it themself. Sheesh.
I agree with the anonymous person that posted before me. People are saying how bad eating disorders are like its news to anyone. We all know that having an eating disorder is not healthy. It’s a mental disease its not as simple as “just trying to be popular in high school” its a lot more serious than that. people that have eating disorders are suffering they might think to themselves they love thier disorder but thats just the mental disease telling them they like it. but people with disorders know it can kill you and they know what it does to the body and they know its not healthy!! fuck, that pisses me off when people talk to you like youre an idiot. Anyway, I was going on google and looked up “bags under eyes eating disorder” because i have an eating disorder and i noticed i have bags under my eyes. The last time i had an eating disorder i remember my sister telling me i had bags under my eyes. i got help and went into treatment and recovered from my eating disorder and the bags went away. But i got back into my eating disorder and i just noticed i have bags under my eyes. So im thinking its cause of my disorder. fuck ed. haha
