You have told us that you have both a problem with cutting yourself and problems with bulemia!. You really need to get some professional help from a psychiatrist or psychologist!. Both bulemia and cutting yourself are serious symptoms of underlying problems with self-esteem, self-image, and possibly mood!. You don't need to go through this - getting help from a professional can help you better understand why you are doing this, address the problems with self-esteem and self-image and help you to stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You're headed down a really bad path there!. There's never no one you can tell!. You need to seek some other help from a hospital or a therapist!. They can give you tips on how to wean yourself off of your vices!. Both have patient disclosure policies, so you will be safe from others finding out!.

Believe it or not they have alot of experience in this kind of problem!. No they will not turn you in to your parents!. Just trust that they will guide you towards help!. If you don't trust them then go to a women's crisis center weather you are male or female it won't matter!. Most of these places are found in places young girls would go to for help with teen pregnancy!. They will treat you in total confidence and direct you to the next steps you need to take!. Stay strong and believe in yourself that you are strong enough to make it through and past all of this no matter how hard it may seem!. YOU ARE WORTH IT!. Don't ever believe that you can't stop this!. I have been through so much that I felt I would never make it out!.
