Why do you eat and then throw up? Is it because it is one thing you can control? Is it because you feel it is the only way to get thin?

A fresh pair of eyes will see deeper than the people who are close to you, who love you and who are worried about you.

Good luck.

Bulimia is a serious thing. No matter what, you should get help from someone. In this case, your friend is not right. Your eating habits can be changed, and getting help is the best thing you should/could do. Get it now, while it is easier to stop. If you don't soon, you may never stop, and it is unhealthy.

---

the fact that you acknowledge your bulimia, and that you can talk about it, means that you are ready to let a professional help you beat it.

so don't hesitate, find someone you trust, and good luck! x

Bulimia is a eating disorder. If you think you are a bulimic, please consult your doc. It's not about eating habits actually, but more of a psychological problem. Maybe you are stressed out something that causes you to not eat right.

---

That was very bad advice. You can't do it without help.

---

Its simple. If you are bulimic - you need professional help.

---

you are asking intelligent questions. If you think you need help, by all means go get help. Yes, you need to decide if you want to change or not, but the more information you get on the subject, the better equipped you are to know if you need help and want to seek it out. And that is the point of seeking help.

your friend, in a way, is right. no one can help you unless you want to help yourself. they can`t literally force you to eat normally unless you`re determined to make a difference in your life and save yourself. yes, there is a point in getting help, because you`ll find that there are people who care for you, but your loved ones could only care so much, you have to take a big step and say to yourself "TODAY, i WiLL MAkE A DiFFERENCE iN MY LiFE AND GET MYSELF HELP"

I would say get help, but the doctors are so bloody useless when it comes to mental health issues, especially eating disorders. If you can get to the bottom of the issue yourself, than do, otherwise you might have to splash out and go private to see a decent doctor, the NHS ones are such rubbish it'll just make you wish you hadn't bothered.

---

If you can change on your own and not fail for a month then you don't need help in that month. If you fail, even once, then yes you need help. You can't do it alone. You will always give in because once more isn't a big deal. You can change your eating habits but it takes work to develope new habits. You need people in your life to encourage you and keep you accountable because you will go back to your own ways if you are on your own. Garanteed!!

If you believe you have a Bulimia problem then that is your start point, the next stop is deciding if you want to live with the issue or not.
