With my uni it's the norm for people with eating disorders to study nutrition. My IP and god awful experiences has paid off by giving me a nuanced perspective, so my professors are keen to have me as a student rather than scolding me like everyone else. I started back in 2020 and have moved to part-time due to work and medical issues. I flunked some exams last year as I feared I wasn't in the right headspace to start dietetics. Boy did that piss off the head of school. I have thoroughly enjoyed the support of my university though as I already got a job in food product development.

 

Congrats! I’ve struggled a lot in college and I know how our EDs can really affect how we handle the workload but I’m glad your school has been supportive of you <3

 

I’m a nursing student and yeah I get it. I used to come back from working night shift placements with my arms full of binge food and sneak into my dorm whilst ppl were asleep

 

I do have my own room but it’s in an apartment so sometimes I wonder if the other girls can hear me in their rooms while I’m b/ping….

 

Not anymore, just submitted my MA thesis last week! 🥳 Has honestly been the most difficult year of my life (health issues, ED, relationship breakdown, plus MA stress). I'm in museums/heritage and work full time in this field

 

just graduated! i studied music.
hope you're doing okay, for me moving to uni made things difficult in the ed aspect so I hope you're looking after yourself as best you can<3

 

Also studying music. Currently in my first year of doctoral studies and the workload is BRUTAL. I'm trying to cut back on the b/p for so many reasons but oh my god it's hard. I live alone which is both good and bad.

 

Will be graduating in about half a year or so!
Getting my Bachelor's in Japanese Studies and translation. I'm also aiming to pass the N2 level exam this December, so I can work on my N1 during my Master's 💜

 

I’m a freshman studying business

 

I like how people here are talking about adapting to university life, balancing studies, social life, and figuring out the future is a challenge but also a growth moment.If at any point you’re preparing for certification exams or professional hurdles, you might want to try a f80 practice test, a low-stress way to get familiar with question types and see where you stand.

 

I'm still technically a freshman bc I had to drop out and go to treatment last year and started late, but I'm planning on getting a master's in psychology bc I really want to go into either dementia research or work with complex patients (assuming I'm somehow well)

 

I'm a second year and my university has single room all-gender washrooms that are great for purging in!! I think I might try purging the cafeteria poutine today. I study psych and am hoping to go to medical school but I don't really know right now since I just switched from math.

 

Mine does too and I have to resist the urge to use them because I was going CRAZY in them last year along with having an unlimited meal plan.

 

I am a sophomore and a cognitive science major! i do want to try to never bp in my student apartment tho bc even though I have my own bathroom and room I know it’s going to be so hard to balance bp-ing and studying. So far I’ve been going strong but the urges never go away

 

That’s amazing, please keep it up!🫶

 

I'm academically a freshman, but it's my second year in university. I'm a BFA Acting Major.

 

Wait that’s dope, do you want to do theatre or film?

 

I just started my seventh year. I graduated with my bachelor's in German language in 2023 (took me 4 years) and started my master's programme in multilingual communications and translatology that same year. We don't have dorms here, but student housing which offers lower rent prices for students. I live in an apartment all by myself (with a snake, but he's oblivious to the world around him, bless his little soul), and that paired with bulimia is quite dangerous tbh. I'm dirt poor so I mostly b/p on boring foods like pasta. Whenever I get extra money I blow it all on alcohol and binge food, ugh.

 

freshman majoring in chem on a premed track. been a wild ride but i dont keep food in my dorm so i usually just b/p once or twice a day here on dining hall food.

 

I’m a second year law with philosophy student! I live in the UK so no shared bedrooms and I get my own ensuite, purging is a dream here
