Chamber Of Secrets Goblet Of goblet of Information
My disease is Bulimia. I choose this topic because I was very curious about
it. This disease effects the digestive system, which effects the rest of the
body systems.
Bulimia is a disease that is a serious eating disorder
characterized by alternating binge eating and purging. The Bulimic first eats
the food and then gets rid of it by either vomiting or the use of laxatives and
diuretics. The disease can vary from some people just eating an ice cream cone
and vomiting to those who eat and vomit after every meal.
The overall desire
to be thin and accepted appears to be the main cause of Bulimia. The attitudes
about diet and appearance expressed by parents can be a factor. Teens may
temporarily become slightly overweight and parents who react negatively may
cause their children to become fearful or anxious about the way they look. It
has been discovered that female teens have a strong desire to please their
father and when he is rigid, emotionally distant, demanding and a perfectionist,
this my cause a very low self-esteem or self-worth in his teenage daughter. The
daughter may discover she has control of only one thing and that is her body and
by controlling her weight, no matter how drastic the measure, and being thin
means that she is not a failure. Bulimics learn from their families to "look"
like they don't have any problems and in our society, being thin is "looking
perfect," inside and out.
When teens have a low self-esteem and/or
self-worth they cannot handle problems with friends and peers. They may not want
to, or know how to, talk to their parents or friends about problems or pressures
and again, the feeling of being in control of something, like their "thin body"
is enough and they will go to any length to get it.
Over time, the body is
physically effected by Bulimia. Some of the physical effects are; the onset of
diabetes, malnutrition, erosion of tooth enamel causing cavities, gum disease,
swelling of the cheeks, digestive problems, intestinal problems, rectal
bleeding, rupture of the tube that leads to the stomach called the esophagus,
hernias, bleeding and infection of the throat, enlargement of lymph or salivary
gland, and potassium depletions causing heart, liver or kidney dysfunction.
The Bulimic is often hard to detect because they are experts at hiding their
problems and pressures. The most common symptoms of bulimia are:
over-exercising, hoarding food, constant irritability or depression, numerous
trips to the bathroom, over-eating when depressed, anxious, or lonely, eating
all they want but never seeming to gain weight, shoplifting of laxatives at
first and then other items, stealing food from friends or stores, and lying
about food and where and when they are eating.
The best treatment and
prevention is by talking to your friends or family about your problems. Once
someone has been diagnosed with bulimia, they need family counseling, individual
counseling, and/or support groups. Hospitalization may be necessary to monitor
the seriousness of the disease and the physical condition of the body.
I
learned that people need to talk about their problems to their family or
friends, not to keep problems and ideas to themselves. If things are bothering
you or if you are feeling too much pressure about your grades, your friends,
your boyfriends, your family, etc., talk to someone you can trust about it. I
also learned how lucky I am that I can talk to my family and my good friends
about my ideas, problems, and feelings.
