What does bullimic mean?!


Question:

What does bullimic mean?

Does Bulimic mean that you throw up when you eat?
I need to know because my friend sent me a message saying "I'm going bullimic"
I'm really worried about her! If that means throwing up and losing weight, then omg I need to help her she's almost anorexic. Also, How can I help her NOT be bullimic?


Answers:

Yup, Bulimia Nervosa is where a person binge eats and then forces themselves to vomit. Theres loads of different theories to what causes it, such as addictive behaviour to food and feelings of guilt and insecurity. Its often a body image problem. It seems your friend's admitted she has a problem but the best thing for her to do is to seek some form of therapy. Make sure you are supportive.
