No, this isn't a pro-mia thread, I actually need to throw up so bad. I am dying. I haven't been able to make myself puke since I was 12/13 years old. I tried eating a slice of bread and drinking water before sticking my fingers down my throat and heaving, but no joy. How do you make yourself throw up? I'd greatly appreciate a PM with any tips/guidelines so as not to trigger any bulimic folk in this thread.


Sorry if this should have been in bath&body or wherever.

When I really really really need to I just stare at the bog and think of disgusting things. I don't want to get too graphic because I hate being sick and don't want to trigger it, but I'm sure you can think of a couple things you hate, esp smells. This said, I rarely need to help myself throwing up as it happens very rarely and, when it does, it's pretty spontaneous.

You know staring at the bog never works for me...I think being in the place where I should throw up relaxes me a bit because I don't need to run for it. Hence when I throw up I'm in the wrong place and horrendous amounts of cleaning follow.

I hate this feeling though, its awful, I'd just wait it out until it came naturally, if you need to throw up that bad it will happen eventually.
Never thought I'd say this but I hope you puke

Um, I'll puke if I sit in the back of the bus and read a magazine. You could try that...

Keep drinking loads of water/luke warm liquid, maybe with a hint of herb tea. About four mugs until your stomach is so full it'll start to come up. Don't know if it works for anyone else.

warm salt water

Thanks guys, I actually did throw up a bit. I drank some warm water and then just... imagined it happening and concentrated on that. Still feel like throwing up some more, but I don't want to do myself any damage

What oasis said, salt water. And think of disgusting things.
Why do you need to puke?

just stick two fingers down your throat as far as theyll go, the trick is not giving up. you have to keep waggling them back and forth down there, find the tickly place and keep tickling it, dont stop to breathe. instead of breathing, look at the toilet and nasty bathroom floor and let it come up..*cough*. anyway, hope you feel better!

stick a fucking toothbrush as far down as it will go.

then when yr upper body starts making 2 or 3 heaving motions, don't get scared. EMBRACE!

oh puker's euphoria. :swoon:

then like, you know.

try to move your hand and toothbrush before the moment it comes up.

i mean i don't know how hard that is for a novice or whatnot but. i've been a recreational puker for a good 80 or 90 years now.

enjoy!

Why do you need to puke?

It's funny that you have this problem, because I have the opposite one; I can puke at the drop of a hat...ever since I was a kid. Seriously, it's annoying - I can't even brush my teeth without heaving a little.

When I was waiting to see my tutor once, they had an article pinned up on the wall about bulemics who accidentally swallow toothbrushes doing that. Apparently there were 27 recorded cases in really quite a short period of time. And then they had some x-rays. It was quite funny really (in one of those "you shouldn't laugh" ways).

the hand or toothbrush never work for me. nothing does. it makes me sad.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE SICK???!!!!!!??!

Things that make me feel sick:
- the smell/taste/sight of cheese/milk
- tomato juice
- that episode of Alan Partridge where he impales his foot on the spike and then still gives that after-dinner speech to 'the ferrari of the gas fire world' or whatever it was
- sambucca
- Ant & Dec
- getting too stoned and getting dizzy, then worrying I'm going to chunder
- seeing/thinking about others being sick (youtube it, I bet some kerazy students have uploaded some filthsome videos)

Instead of just sticking your finger down your throat, jab it. Like. Finger your throat. And contract your stomach, breathe through your mouth so your throat stays open. If you start belching, you're doing it right. It helps if you stand up and bend at the waist too. Keep gravity on your side.
Drink lots of water before and after. And brush yo teef.

If you really do need to puke, there are things I know work- one is high concentration salt water. The other is pouring freezing cold water directly into your ear (tip your head sideways and funnel it). The latter is a test to see if you are brain dead (apparently if your brain is functioning, you should puke). So if that doesn't make you vom, you may wish to consult a physician.

Thank you everyone for all your replies. I'm all betterer now but I'll remember this advice if I ever need to make myself throw up again.

No brushing teeth right after puking! Just rinse.
