Please help me =(?!
Question: Please help me =(!?
I am 19 and have been struggling with bulimia for about 2 years, but only recently has it got really bad!. It started off with me eating too much one night so i thought, i better throw some up so i dont get fat!.!. But now its at the stage where i just eat constantly (junk foods cos i love them), but it never bothers me cos i know i can just go throw it up and eat some more of something else!. I throw up anywhere from the toilet to the shower, the bath, the back yard, in a plastic bag!.!. anywhere really!. My mum recently found out becasue i had prawns for tea and she found remainders of them in the bath plug hole!.!.!. long story short, she was already suspicious of my problem, but this was the final straw!. she told me we both need to go see a doctor cos this problem needs to be fixed, but i dont want to talk to her about it!. I dont get along with her, she just isnt the sort of mum i feel comfortable talking to!. But i know i need help!. Anyone else who's been through this talk to me please =(Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you need help immediately, 1-800-SUICIDE is a toll free number where you can call and talk to live, trained psychologists 24 hours a day!. Even if you're not suicidal, the person who answers will have access to other psychologists, support groups, hospitals, and much more than he/she can pass along to you!. Plus, he/she will talk with you as long as you want!.
I can understand not feeling comfortable talking to your mom, but you NEED to talk to someone! Admitting that you need help is a big step and perhaps one of the biggest to getting better!.
211 is United Way!. If money is an issue, they can help you find discount, maybe even free medical attention and/or psychological support!.
One good thing about psychologists (if you didn't know already) they are required by law to keep your conversations private!. So if you want to talk to a doctor before mom, it's totally possible!.
I never suffered from bulimia, but I have suffered depression and have been diagnosed bipolar!. I've gone through all the psychological hooplah and can offer any advice I can give and you're willing to take if you want to contact me!.
Best of luck! *hug*Www@Answer-Health@Com

that dozen sound good but if you are 19 you can go to the doctor by yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I know it is really hard to go through something like this!. Once you have found a way around being able to down whatever foods you like, it is quite difficult to work your way back into control again!. As much as you might not want to deal with your mom, you definitely should talk to your doctor!. They will probably employ all of the scare tactics involving rotting teeth, ulcers, malnutrition, etc!., but they can also teach you how to deal with the urge to binge and purge and how to wean yourself away from it!. Take the good with the bad, and realize that you didn't develop this problem in one day, so it might take a while to work your way into a more "normal" relationship with eating!. Start with short term goals, on a case by case basis!. Over time, you should be able to cut this habit out of your life completely!. But DEFINITELY talk to your doctor or a nutritionist, someone you can be comfortable with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
