Q: Is This Bulimia?

I eat relatively healthily, and don't binge, and the only thing i do binge on really is alcohol, but even then i only drink on a night out.

I very rarely throw up, maybe once a week/fortnight, but when i realise that i have eaten/drunk a little bit too much i feel horrible, and try to throw up. I have to say i am not very good at it because maybe one in two times i actually manage to.

The only other time i would do it is if i was on a night out and i got upset about something (usually arguments between friends) then i deliberately make myself throw up. i tell myself that it is to sober me up a bit (even if i'm not drunk), but i'm think i'm just lying to myself.

does this mean i have bulimia, even if i very rarely throw up. and if i don't whats wrong with me?

Hi and welcome here
I hope you get to find some help. What you described isn't bulimia... yet. But it can get worse and you can lose control over that and become bulimic.
You have to fight all those things that make you feel bad, okay?
Seek for counselling, for example.

Get better before it's too late.
