An antidepressant might get prescribed to help. The first phase of bulimia treatment focuses on stopping the vicious cycle of binging and purging and restoring normal eating patterns. You will learn to avoid situations that trigger a desire to binge or purge. It will take a lot of willpower and it is not going to be easy. Use this forum anytime. Type your stress instead of attacking your body. I know easier said than done. But hey baby steps right? Let me know how things go at your first visit.
