I need help with this?!


Question: I am bulimic, and all i can think about is binging, purging, fasting, excercising, calories, fat. Thats all I can think about, at school, at home, at dance, with friends. I can never focus on anything. I am suppose to be working on science fair but I am too busy watching videos about eating disorders or excercising or purging. I NEED HELP. ITS TAKING OVER MY LIFE! What can I do? I really dont want to tell my parents, my ex boyfriend knows and my best friends know. Do you think they can help me. I dont want to recover, but I want it to stop taking up such a huge part of my life.

Hi, I think you're very strong for writing your feelings on this forum, you've already made a big step. You are smart, articulate, & I'm sure a really nice person to be around.

I do think you deserve to have help with these thoughts, and I'm sure your parents really want to help you if they could just know. Everyone has problems, and it's nothing to be ashamed of to ask for help, that shows strength.

Please reach out to your family. It's probably the hardest thing you'll ever have to do, but I bet after you tell them you'll see it wasn't as bad as you think.

I do think you'll reach a point in your life where you where so proud of yourself for taking this step. Please feel free to e-mail me if you want someone to talk to, I'm a good listener. Best of wishes to you, I know you can do it!

you NEED to talk to your friends and family about it, its the only thing to do, and you need to see doctors, probably therapists, too :/

Ok, first off, yes, you DO want to recover. Now get off the computer, go wake your parents and tell them exactly what you told us. They will get you the counseling and help you need.

If you do not want to recover than you are not really asking for help. Everything you are doing is slowly killing you and you know this to be true. There is no half way with this disease. Either you get help and over come the whole disease or it continues to take over your life.

You said it yourself "I don't want to recover"

Thats what you have to change first. You have to want to stop doing it because it can literally kill you if you keep doing it

The reason its taking up such a huge part of your life is because you know it's not healthy and you're hurting yourself. At the same time you think you have to do it

Please get some help from a doctor as soon as you can. They can give you the help you need
