I am suppose to start at an eating disorder clinic next week. I was at the hospital tonight. I feel so sick. which is just one more problem to add to my many. Everytime i eat i feel sick again. I have been amking myself throw up for a long time now. So i was trying to be good and eat but it made me feel so sick that i had to make myself throw up again. anyone have any ideas.

I totally understand your place in this idea. I was there last year. But the only thing you can really do is force it on yourself, but honestly the cutting thing is even harder to stop. So just cut down on all this, and eventully quit it all :p Hope i help somewhat

Bulimia and cutting
I can't understand why a clinic wouldn't let someone admit for treatment if they're actively cutting. What about purging? Same thing -- both of them are coping mechanisms that mask therapeutic issues. At Mirasol we do take away sharps, but we gently help people get through the withdrawal period from cutting. I dislike treatment centers that are paternalistic and your progress is determined by how you follow the rules.

Warmly,
