Intervention

[kellybean]

Did anyone watch Intervention last night? It was about a bulimic girl. They showed EVERYTHING!!! I tired to watch it for exposure therapy, but I just couldn't. It was too graphic.

Bulimia doesn't bother me at all because I know EXACTLY why the person is getting sick. Bulimia is self-induced and is done for an exact purpose - it is something that is planned and controlled (well, most of the time). I am also not bothered as much by people who are drunk for the exact same reason - I know why they are sick.

I saw part of it Kellybean. Unfortunately it was the part when she was forcing herself in the garage. I usually don't mind mind those scenes in movies or on tv but that was the most graphic I have seen. I actually closed my eyes and ears while she was doing it but peeked just in time to see her bag FULL. Even my husband was grossed out. I think ANYONE would have been.

Is this episode going to rerun? I want to watch it. If someone could PM me and let me know,it would be greatly appreciated.

I saw it as well. I am usually able to watch that kind of stuff, although a bit
hesitant... however I had to look away last night. It was pretty unbelievable
graphic.

Free exposure therapy!

I tried to watch it but had to run out of the room with eyes and ears covered each time I thought "it" was about to happen. I did hear part of it but it was pretty bad. I cannot watch even fake scenes in movies, let alone the real thing. Watch with caution!!

LoL I got that quote from a show that I can't remember the name of...but it was some show about lifeguards or something on FX.


Anyway, no I did not see this show. But Vomiting on TV doesn't really bother me. Once or twice on Jackass I saw one of the dudes swallow a live goldfish and then barf it up again, it was nasty but nothing I couldn't handle.

I have a hard time with Jackass because its usually Steve-O that is V* and he
makes that most awful, wretched noises....

Its really the noises that bother me.

I watched the show. I was wondering what she was doing with the toothbrush? When she said why she has it kind of freaked me out. Instead of walking away or changing the channel I watched it. It was gross and it did bother me a bit, i think I felt more sorry for her and other people out there who have this disease. It will take awhile for me to get that ziploc baggie out of my mind.

[kellybean]

Yes, that ziplock bag. That was the fragment of the part that I saw. The bag was FULL. I didn't watch anymore of it.
