Bulimia is a disorder of the eating instinct (appetite) wherein a person eats great amounts of food (overeating) and then deliberately vomits the ingested food in order to prevent gaining weight. In time, such eating behavior can cause oral infections, caries, esophagitis, and anorexia with all the further complications that develop from it. Bulimia is common for adolescent girls with family problems, a perfectionist personality, an overemphasis on physical appearance, and/or depression.


Intentional throwing up can not be justified as a method for emotional relief when you feel emotionally bad. In time, vomiting may become typical behavior for coping with the bad consequences (mentioned above) and then the emotional problems can inflate.


Depression is one phase of bipolar disorder. The depressive phase may include appetite disorder but there are also some other symptoms present such as: trouble sleeping or excessive sleeping; fatigue and lack of energy; feelings of worthlessness, self-hate, and inappropriate guilt; extreme difficulty concentrating; agitation, restlessness, and irritability; inactivity and withdrawal from usual activities; feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, and recurring thoughts of death or suicide.


You have to ask medical help from a mental health doctor before it is too late.
