I have an eating disorder.

Much inspired by the blog on this med student who suffers from  a mental illness:

I have bulimia.  Had bulimia.  Whatever.

Eek!  Bulimia.  Gross.  Who is this?  A doctor??!  I can't imagine.

I am a doctor struggling with an eating disorder.   It ebbs and flows, certainly not as active as it had been, but still...  med school and residency don't allow much "healing" time for an ED (and no, ED does not just pertain to those of the Viagra type ;).  That may sound glaringly obvious, but it wasn't so at the time.    

Today I am just annoyed  and frustrated that I still deal with this, even if it is "just" feeling fat.

More later.  

Onward...
