9. Fatigue and Weakness: The Energy Drain
Individuals with bulimia nervosa often experience fatigue and weakness due to the physical strain of binge eating, purging, and other compensatory behaviors. Malnutrition from self-induced vomiting or laxative use can also contribute to these feelings of exhaustion, as the body struggles to obtain the nutrients it needs to function properly.
Fatigue and weakness can interfere with daily activities, making it difficult for individuals with bulimia to maintain their work, school, or social commitments. Recognizing these symptoms and addressing the underlying disorder can help individuals regain their energy and improve their overall quality of life. (9)
