Triggering (ED) - Addicted to gagging?

BrokenSmiles · 19-11-2009, 01:16 AM

I have no clue if this is in the right post or not or weather it should be in the Ed section if it should feel free to move it. Anyways when ever I brush my teeth, I have an impulse that I have to shove my toothbrush down my thaot and I gag and do it like 2-3 times. I have no clue how to make this stop. I mean I did stop it when I went to camp but that's just because it was camp. But it keeps getting worse and worse now it's like once I start I can't stop and sometimes I do it to the point that I make myself barf.
How do I stop?

is it possible you do it to hurt yourself?
as in that gagging feeling makes you choke and feel uncomfortable?

I honestly don't know...I know that doesn't give much details on helping but I don't know why I do it...when it first started I hated doing it but now I can't stop.

4-5 months maybe...since summer.

do you have a psychologist/psychiatrist/therapist that you can talk too?

Yes and she knows I told her and she didn't have much to say also because i was talking about my eating habits and how they have changed to be really bad to almost not eating but she doesn't know much about that stuff.

perhaps you should try talking to her about how your eating habits have gotten worse.
the more information she has the more likely she will be able to help you
