Q: ED - anorexia or bulemia ?
asked by: Tarimisu on October 26th, 2009

Hi, I'm struggling with an eating disorder. It hasn't been classified, yet. I want to know if I have anorexia or bulimia...or something else.

I throw up after pretty much every meal.
I restrict food, then binge, then purge...then do it all over again.
I'll go days w/o eating, then eat, eat, eat...then vomit it all back up!

No one in my family knows about this.

Also, does bulimia help you loose weight??

Please help me!

Hi Tarimisu,

Are you purposefully forcing yourself to throwup? If so that would be bulimia. Bulimia has many side effects, losing wait is one of them but you lose so much more than weight, you lose it unhealthly. You have a mental disorder Tariisu, if you don't stop and seek help you could lose your life. Please talk to an adult you trust if you don't feel confortable informing your family as to what you are doing. They love you and will help you through this if you let them. There are support groups you can contact if you feel you can't talk to anyone you know personally. Call the mental health department in y our area and they will assist you. Good luck, keep us informed.
