...I just came across your post, i've never had an eating disorder, but i'm going to throw in my 2cents. I would say go for it. Tell him. You're right, you can't get help if you don't tell anyone. You are amazing for realizing that this is effecting you body, thats a big thing to realize. It will be hard to tell someone, and admit you have bulemia...But its something you need to do to help yourself
best of luck
and take care

Thank you, we'll I didnt go to my doctors taoday, he resceduled, but if I would have went I would tihnk about telling him. But I wouldn't i'm glad this happend it gives me more time to think about this, I want to tell my parents so bad, but I cant, I told one of my friends, but we were both drunk, and I did'nt think she remembered me telling her, I think if I get help on my own, start exercising daliy I can loose weigh the right way. But it's going to take time, thank you for posting.

Tell your Dr. It is great to have the support of a Dr. And they know what things to look for and it should give you some peace of mind.

Thanks, I will deffanatlly think about doing that, but i'm kina scared to I dont know what i'm going to do yet.

Please do not be afraid or scared to tell him of this situation, he cannot treat you unless he knows what is going on or the truth.
Good luck!
We are here ffor you!

Thanks i'm not sure yet I appriciate that, anyone have bulimia and told there doctor if so how did it go?

Bulimia is an eating disorder is the problem of the youngsters this disease is due to mainly the emotional breakdown. Along with medication support of the family members is also required.

Mary-
i understand you're scared to tell your Dr. It is a really scary thing to do it would be weird if you had no problem doing it. I was really scared to tell a Dr. In fact I avoided it for months. I started going to therapy which I also avoided for months but finally had to because I couldn't function at all I was going to school and I would cry for 3 hours before class because I just couldn't make myself go. Then my therapist was told me I had to see a Dr. To get checked out. So I ended up making an appointment with the Dr. And I said over the phone that it was for a check up becuase I have an eating disorder. I don't knwo about you but I find it a lot easier to say that over the phone. So when I got she already knew why I was there and she told me how great it was that I was able to get help and she took it really slow she only really did the normal stuff too she took my blood pressure and listened to me heart and lungs and looked in my mouth. Then I got blood tests to make sure my electrolytes were ok. I don't know how to explain but even though it was really hard and scary it was good to be told how my body was doing. Since then I have told other Dr.S too over the summer I was purging a lot and I started to have all these breathing problems and I went to the Dr. And I had to tell him because they couldn't figure out what was going on and they didn't have the whole story, the hardest part for me is saying "i am bulimic" I feel like I am going to joke and my voice will crack and I will cry when I say those words but once they are out the Dr.S are great. When I told that dr he thought I might have aspirated some vomit and caused the lung problems and he was just easy to talk to. Ok I feel like ia m forgetting something but best of luck to you and I hope this helps some feel free to ask me anything.

Thanks, I am considering telling my doctor, I know I should, I haven't made an appoitment yet, I havent purged in 2 days, of course I havent eaten hardly anything, but I am eating, I appriciate everyones input.

Good luck! Happy winter holidays.

Thanks, i'm having breathing problems today, not enough to go to the hospital, thats why I havent purged in two days, I dont want my health to get any worse, hopefully I can keep this up, but tomorrow is christmas, my family is here, christmas dinner oh no!! Well I read the rest of your letter and you said you were having breathing problems to, I think it is time to tell my doc, there goes my 2 days of not purging !!! I hope your doing okay, everything goes well for you.

thanks

Wow nobody has came in here for a while, so I havent told my doctor yet, I havent sceduled a new appoiotment i've been having stomach pains when I eat, & heartburn, I feel like i've had enough of this and its time to stop, hopefully I can try to stop on my own, I know I need to tell someone besides this, its really hard for me when nobody knows.

Hey sorry I haven't been here for awhile. I didn't reealize u had posted back sometimes I don't get emails about an answer to a post and sometimes I do I don't know anyway.

Hope christmas went ok for u... I just couldn't handle it but ia m glad it is over. Christmas dinner was a purging marathon for me I just kept eating and kept puking.

I am also having heartburn it is annoying. But ok I know it is hard but u should really tell your Dr. Because u need the tools to get better. It isn't as if u can just decide and you want to know u r ok.

Well I tried to post a reply a week or so ago anyway, christmas wasent a day for purging, I hardly ate anything, but i'm still doing it havent told anyone yet, I will someday when I feel comfortable.

Good to hear from you. I understand I am sure u will tell someone when u are ready and hey u write on here and that is already something.

I am having an interesting time I have been pruging less for the last 2 weeks but ia m starting to feel so depressed about it today at the gym I had no selof-esteem I feel so fat I want to starve myself.

I thought I would update everyone, I havent checked this is a while. So I havent told my doctor, I know i've only had bulimia for about 6 months, that seems long to me, I know theres more people that have been dealing with bulimia for a lot longer and havent told anyone, I think I can get over this on my own I know I have tried in the past and failed, its a hard thing to get over, I am moving out next month, I think if I do that I will probablly purge more, but i'm going to try and stop on my own, start exercising more, it seems like I dont have any energy latly. I did gain all my weight back thats the problem with bulimia you gain all your weight back, I did loose 15 lbs, wich was in october and I actually felt good about myself, but I wase'nt hardly eating then, it seems harder now and I have been purging like crazy latly, I teel myself every day i'm not going to do this but I do, I know if I move out on my own I wount have the temptation of eating the wrong foods I try to eat healthy, but my roomates dont I often give in, so I will try and update this whenever I can.

Hey hunn yea u cna do alot of damage just by doing it for a week and u said u have been doing it for 6 months..Yeah I would stop while u can b.C it is soooo hard to stop I have been doing it for 4 yrs...And now I kind of stopped but I still have my days of feeling fat and not eating or even puking...And be 4 I used to like doing this but now I hate it I think u just have to tell ur self that it is bad..And wrong..And u shouldnt be doing this..Yeah I hate tehj fact that I always gain the weight back..Thats why I sort of switched to anorexia..B.C the weight would stay off..Unless I eat a whoel bunch I just try no to eat as little as possible??..It isnt good but it is what maeks me feel o.K..And stops me frm puking!!..Welli would tell a doctor so u can get help while u still can
