Hey-
i get bloody noses sometimes after vomiting too. It just means that you have broken one or some of the capillaries in your nose. They can break because of the pressure of vomiting. And if your nose keeps bleeding at different times it is because the capillary can't heal itself and it keeps breaking open again eventually it should heal.

Ok hope this helps.

Well ususally bloody noses are pretty harmless and go away but if you keep vomiting you could cause bleeding that you can't get to stop. So ok I am not wording this very well bloody noses are another symptom of being bulimic and it shows your body is getting beaten up but bloody noses are not too problematic unless they r really bad an you can't get the bleeding to stop though I ahve only heard of this happeing once. For me bloddy noses give me another little boost to get myself to try and stop becuase it is scary. Plus u can pop blood vessels in your eyes I did that once and it was so awful.

This probably sounds stupid, but does it hurt to pop a blood vessel in your eye? Its never happened to me.

No it doesn't hurt but you get this red spot in your eye. It looks weird because it is just this one spot. It isn't like having blood shot eyes or anything it is a really obvious red spot though.

Hey-
i am doing ok... I am just so depressed and lonely and I am not looking forward to anything and I have no energy to find somthing I want to do. I feel like there is no place to go from here. I think being this depressed is like being dead. My only hope right now is that I won't feel so depressed once I start my period because when I am pmsing I seem to get so much worse.
