eating disorder

If it interferes with your physical/emotional wellbeing you could see your GP and they'd refer you to someone else for help. How much does it affect your day to day life? How long have you had it? (if you don't mind answering)...

If you'd like to talk, you can PM me.

help from where? and i'd feel too weird telling anyone, i didnt intend to tell my friend i didnt want anyone to know

I would get help no matter how it's affecting you - bulimia is more deadly than anorexia because of the effect on the potassium levels in your body - if your potassium levels go heywire (and they will), you run the risk of having a heart attack.Get help - please [hugs].

ok i guess this is the first place ive found that i can write about this.

recently ve been having problems with bullemia, its not so bad now but it got quite bad at one point. ive only ever told one person and she reckons i should get medical elp - im not so sure.

i was wondering if there was anyone out there who could offer some advic maybe you've been through this. i guess its easier saying this on here than to someone face to face.

Get help.

I've suffered from both Anorexia and Bulimia in the past - getting help (OK more getting found out!) is the best thing that has ever happened to me, although I didn't appreciate it at the time.

you have to kind of realise that it's not a good thing to do and have the will to stop - which you've got. now you have to force yourself not to do it, it's like a bad habit you gotta get rid of.

eat smaller meals. dont binge. dont eat things that are easy to throw up. it wont happen overnight but you can decrease the amount you do it. tell yourself you can only be sick once a day, then once every two days, then three days etc. eventually you won't need/want to be at all. you could try stopping completely straight away but if you ever do end up being sick you'll feel v disappointed when you shouldn't. but just see whatever feels best for you. you can stop without help from doctors, you just need lots of willpower.

Seeing the doctor isn't just about getting help to stop, its also about checking how much damage has already been done.

Most people have said go the the doctor, but thats not always the right or the easiest person to go to. Do you have someone that you are close to and can talk to them about getting advice? A lot of people find it easier though to go to someone that they don't know at all like a counsillor, who is trained to deal with stuff like that.

I know from past experience (With 2 of my friends who have been anorexic, i personally have never suffered with an eating disorder) that is often easier to talk about it with someone that doesn't know you, so this is what i recommend you do.
