An eating disorder is an illness which permeates all aspects of each sufferer's life, is caused by a variety of emotional factors and impacts. In this article we will concentrate on Anorexia and Bulimia. Those who suffer from these illnesses are characterized as having a low self-esteem and frequently an enormous need to control their surroundings and emotions. The eating disorder, Anorexia, is a unique response to various outer and inner conflicts, such as tension, anxiety, unhappiness and feeling as if life is out of control. Anorexia is a negative way to deal with these emotions. A person suffering from Anorexia may be extremely sensitive about being perceived as fat, or have an intense fear of becoming fat - although not all Anorexics have this fear. They may be afraid of losing control over the amount of food they eat, accompanied by the craving to maintain stringent control over their emotions and responses to these emotions. This forces them to turn to obsessive dieting and starvation as a means to control not only their weight, but what they feel and how they react. Some also think that they do not merit pleasures of life, and will stay away from situations related to pleasure, including eating. Some of the behavioral signs can be: calorie gram counting, starvation and limitation of food, obsessive exercise, self-induced vomiting, the use of diet pills, laxatives or diuretics to to control weight, and a persistent concern with the body image. People who suffer from Bulimia seek binge and purge episodes - they will consume a large quantity of food in a relatively short period and then use behaviors such as taking laxatives or diuretics or self-induced vomiting - as they feel overwhelmed in handling their emotions, or in order to punish themselves. Those having Bulimia may seek episodes of binging and purging to avoid and let out feelings of stress, anger, concern or depression. Repeated episodes of fast food consumption followed by tremendous guilt and purging (laxatives or self-induced vomiting), a feeling of lacking control over eating behaviors, regularly engaging in stringent dieting and physical exercise, the misuse of laxatives or diuretics, and/or weight loss medications and a persistent concern over the body image can all be warnings of Bulimia. The two eating disorders have a lot of similarities, the most common being the cause. They are complicated emotional issues. Though they may seem to be nothing more than a dangerously obsessive weight concern on the surface, for most people having an eating disorder there are more profound emotional conflicts to be handled. |
