I kind of like purging?

Everyone always says they get sad and anxious and hate doing it and I feel like suck a sick fuck because I love the way it feels. I mean, I hate the actual act of throwing up and the taste of course but I get a little excited when I can successfully purge and it's just some kind of high afterwards. I don't know.

I am the same way. If I throw up because I am sick, I hate it, but when I purge I feel great. I guess it's the feeling of control for me.

To be honest, I think that's normal and that most people just don't talk about it. I'm pretty sure it's endorphins, and this site agrees with that by saying, "This binge-purge cycle causes the body's endorphins is misfire, producing an unnatural high."
