Bulimia

I really dont know what to do. About a year and a half ago i developed Bulimia. I was feeling really depressed and had a low self esteem, i thought i was fat even though i am a size 8-10. I just started vomiting after eating and it just became a habit. It was so easy because i could eat what i want and not gain weight. I eventually managed to 'get rid' of the bulimia and the depression. However, now the bulimia has come back, cos i am stressing over my weight, what with it being summer holiday time soon. I mean i know im not fat (im still 8-10 and petite) but im my head i have to be thiner.
Im beginning to get really painful stomach cramps and my back sometimes hurts. Im also worried cos im on the pill. I really want to stop, only my boyfriend knows about it and im scared to go to the doctors. I really dont know what to do. help!

Although it will be hard, please go and see a doctor, he or she will be sympathetic and understanding...thats why they became doctors, to help people like you and me. They wont hospitalise you, or commit u to a mental hospital, or go tell your family....they'll probably just ask u if everythings ok, if anythings bothering u. You may be asked to see a counsellor or dietician.
And you'll feel so much better afterwards having talked to someone who is non-judgemental and calm, and who *wont* tell u to stop being silly etc.
Talk to a family friend or close relative?
Eating disorders are often linked to other problems that the sufferer may have, even though he or she believes it to be caused by weight worries. Is everything ok at home? With your friends/partner? At school/college/work? Basically is anything bothering u?
Dont put up with it as u dont have to!

There is a number at the bottom of the page that you can call to get lots of good advice and support.
Luv Jodie
Im not sure how long thesites been running but its very friendly here and u will get to no everyone soon, dont worry bout that. Ive had anorexia and bulimia in the past and even though u learn ways to deal with it its always there with u. U need to go and see someone about this, just realising u have a problem is the first step. U can talk to us lot on here about any of your stuff, u will get some great advice and make some great friends. Take care and nice to meet u <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Been up since about hte start of 2000, i think, but has grown a lot recently.
We know each other cos we chat a lot on Yahoo - have u got yahoo or msn? cos a lot of the regulars are on yahoo at one time or another (especially very late at night, but that's another story *yawn*)
see u there then?
And all the grown-ups say is sorry, cos we got no reply.
Lolly your right eating disorders never really go away. I mean you think you have gotten rid of them and then somthing happens in your life and you get bad again. Neway thanx nice people <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Ciao bella -x-
It's comforting to know that other people understand what bulimia is like. I've only told my b/f n i dont think he really totally gets whats wrong with me. Now i sort of wish i hadnt told him cos i feel stupid and he keeps asking if its because of him, which it isnt. Its slightly getting better at the moment. Just silly things like i got my prom in a few months n keep thinkin oh u gotta n thinner blah blah. Ive also been goin the gym a lot.
I know what u mean about ppl sayin stuff cos ur thin. They think that cos u r slim that u dont have ne problems and that you should feel 'lucky' cos u aint fat! When i was younger other kids used to say stuff cos i was thin and now im older u get women sayin stuff like ohh look at ur hips, u lucky thing etc etc
Neway i hope you stay happy and healthy <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> I have a sore throat at the mo but i dont think its from Bulimia lol <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">
Love Jodie
i would never go to a docter,my dads a doctor and my mums a nurse,so most of the drs in the area no them!!!GREAT!!! but how about a counceller?they are very good, and u can talk to them in total confidence.they really cant tell ur parents.
especially if ur over 16.how old are u?im only 15.i was 13 when it all started.
its good that uv recognised that u have a problem,b4 its to late.you can sort it,but you have to have the will power.you just have to be strong.
can you not talk to your mum????i know thats a stupid question,but she might be able to help u,u never know!!!!!!!or a sister???
well u can always talk to me!!!
good luck babes.
Your wrong about the sore throat not being coz of Bulimia. The acid from your stomach not only rots your teeth but give u really sore throat...some more reasons to go and get it sorted out eh <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif">
U should definatly go to the docter. I no wat its like and u think they might tell your mum but there is no way they would do that I promise u. U aint weak admitting that u have Bulimia, by admitting u have a problem and by seeking help u r showing your real strength. It take a lot more to admit that to yourself than it does to just shrug the problem off. U just have to use the strength that u have to make yoursewlf sick and not eat and turn it around and use it to make yourself better...trust me on this one <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Yeah im probably gonna go see a doctor. Its sort of getting better, less frequent anyway. Im trying to focus on revision and not on my body size! I havent been the gym this week n feel bad, still theres next week! How many calories does sex burn lol
I heard that it has the same calories as spinach

you dont find that extremely appealing?
