The Pros and Cons of Bulimia

• People with Bulimia - swinging painfully back and forth between extremes: a serious problem in one moment, and later conclude things are perfectly fine.
• Pros of using bulimic behaviors - short terms: escape feelings, avoidance, numbness, disconnect from feelings, stop thinking about your problems and stressors temporarily.
• Bulimia often is used as a method of checking out or disconnecting from emotional dysregulation.
• Pros of NOT using bulimic behavior - long terms: be more present in life and relationship, healthy body and mind, guilt free
• DBT is to create a life worth being present in.
