Can Suffering From Bulimia Result In Vomiting During Sleep?
I was bulimic for 4 years and stopped about 5 months ago. Periodically, every couple weeks, I ll throw up in my sleep. It ll happen both consciously and not...sometimes I ll wake up and throw up but not really realize it, if that makes sense. And sometimes I ll wake up WHILE I m throwing up. I don t understand what s going on.

Congratulations on having overcome bulimia. Some of the stressors, anxieties, or insecurities that first led you to purging may still lurk in your unconscious mind, and are revealed in your dreams. Anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders like bulimia nervosa, etc are associated with uncontrolled vomiting. Whatever kind of therapy or self-help that got you to end your bulimic behaviour could be coninued in order to keep you on track and lesson your anxiety.
