seriously think i’ve ruined my body by the amount of laxatives i used to take and sometimes do take. it’s just when im around people i have to eat, and i don’t like throwing up so it’s the easiest way

this is me this is me this is fucking me. I literally have to make excuses to my friends for why I can’t go out at night and it’s because I know I will always be desperately needing the shitter right as the clock strikes 12 because I take them at the same time every night and have timed them to always activate at night. Like how do I wean myself off.

genuine question, why do some people take laxatives? I know it can cause weight loss right away but it’s usually just water weight i think? like it’s not “real” weight if that makes sense?? (i feel like this question sounds judgmental but i promise it’s not at all im truly curious)

unfortunately i had to get a prescription laxative just to have regular movements because even magnesium citrate stopped working for me after i stopped using laxatives every day

i think it’s a relief mechanism if anything. Purging is a release and so when u shit out basically everything in your stomach it makes it feel empty & like physically makes u look skinnier. But the reason why I’m taking them now is like so far deep into it because now my body physically can’t shit without them lmao
