Last night, after a particularly bad anxiety attack, I purged HARD. The whole experience was violent. And painful. And awful. The result was burst capillaries, spider-webbing out from my eyes like shattered glass. My face from the nose up looks like I have a bad case of measles. Or some other horrible disease.
Has this happened to anyone else? I guess I always assumed if I burst capillaries from purging it would be ON my eyes, not AROUND my eyes. This being new territory for me, I'm not sure if I should be worried. Other than, you know, the obvious worry about what this awful ED is doing to my body in general.
I get this too, only I get it every time I throw up, its normal I guess?
ReplyDeleteJust put thin slices of cucumber on your face (weird I know but it stops them a bit) and then put on cream used to treat stretch marks, I used to use that all the time and it was a lifesaver (before I realised I was allergic to it and it would actually make my face worse) Hope this helps :)
Next time I will try the cucumber trick! I also think I have some scar cream around somewhere... Thankfully the marks faded within a couple of days. I was terrified they were going to be around for a while.
DeleteTotally normal for me. It also makes me look like I just smoked a huge blunt. The cucumber idea stated above works wonders. I am sorry that you resorted to purging. I hope you don't get too comfortable with it =(

Purging is awful, but the alternative is worse? I don't even know anymore. Thanks for the comment and support, Katie!
