How on earth do you break the cycle of bulimia?

I'm trying to get into nursing school. I'm taking classes. I'm drowning because I can't take care of myself. I'm relieving my anxiety by bingeing and purging and I can hardly function. My grades are average when I am capable of the highest grades and I'm exhausted mentally physically and emotionally. Bulimia takes so much time and energy and then it just leaves you drained and so I'm asking if anyone knows how to break this cycle...or at least what's the first step...or what do you tell yourself everyday to begin the process of stopping this awful thing.

To the fourth answerer...do you honestly think that I am choosing this??? You need to think about what bulimia and any addiction is. Do you the predisposing factors for it are actually perfectionsim and low self-esteem..and actually have nothing to do with intellectual ability. Therefore, one would not CHOOSE this especially when I obviously know the detrimental effects to all parts of me. Get a clue. Do you know how many nurses smoke??? Are you surprised that they would even consider nursing when they smoke??? I think that I will stick with nursing thank you very much. You sound like a B-t-h. Sorry.. but you have it all wrong. I hope that you never have to overcome an addiction. Read up on bulimia so that you can choose to be more informed.

um... go to the doc and get serious help... u could die! GOOD LUCK!
