I've told my pdoc in the past that I purged and we never really got back into talking about it because I purged very infrequently back then.
I told my pdoc that it's getting to be a problem now and she's helping me explore why I purge. She says that my purging is the same as my negative self talk and punishment. She told me that anger at myself is the reason I purge. She wants me to write down what I feel when I get the urge to purge.
She also told me that purging leads to weight gain over time because it lowers one's metabolism. She also told me that I could get seizures from purging and taking Wellbutrin at the same time (but I already knew that).
