have you ever been bulimic?
have you ever had an eating disorder? i'm bulimic and nobody really knows. if you've had this experience and have recovered or are trying please give me advice? i feel like theres always a cloud around my thoughts like i'm not thinking as clear as i used too. i hate my body, i freak when i gain weight, sometimes i'm even afraid to step on the scale. i binge and purge and fast and this has been going on for over a year. part of me wants help and sometimes i feel like i can't let go because it's become apart of me. if you've had this experience: how did you get help? what were the treatments? why and when did you realize you wanted/needed help? did/do you feel better after recovering/trying to recover?
even if you haven't had an eating disorder and you can answer some of the questions please do. i don't know what to do.

You need to talk to a trusted adult and get some
help. Really you do. You have been doing this for
a year and sooner or later it is going to take a toll on your body. You are to young to die and that is where you are heading. Wish there was a nicer way to put it. But that is the truth of it.
Here are the side effects of bulimia. Some you may already be experiencing.
* Esophageal problems {this is in your airway)

* Stomach ulcers (it can also rupture)
* Osteoporosis
* Hair loss

* Irregular heart beat
* Elimination problems

* Dry skin

* Menstrual dysfunction
* Hormone irregularities
* Insomnia
* Low red blood cell levels

You need to get help and get at a healthy weight.
