Bulimic? what to do..

Hello. I'm writing here to get some help or support.

I've been bulimic in 6 months I think.. I binge and then purge all the time, yeah I guess you know the routine. But I finally opened my eyes and saw that it has taken everything away from me; my friends, my personality etc. But I moved away from home when I was 16, and it was there it started..

Today I have called my doctor, who I don't know because I just moved here, so I'm quite nerveos about talking to him about my problems tomorrow.
My question is, should I solve this problem myself, or tell my parents too? I know it will kill them to hear it, and make them very sad.. And I don't want to ruin their lives, I love them and they love me.. I'm really scared of telling them about it:/

how can you help yourself getting better when you have no friends to support you?? I don't want to live with all these secrets anymore.

thank you...

(sorry my bad english)

From what it sounds like you don't seem to want to do this alone. If you have a close and supportive relationship with your parents then i think you should tell them. Also if you are worried about getting over your disorder by your self then you could consider checking your self into a treatment center where you can get lots of support. 

Or you could just come here and get advice and help from people online 

Either way you choose to go i wish you the best of luck in your recovery

Try not to be to worried about talking to your doctor. He is trained to deal with stuff like this, he won't judge you. It really comes down to if you feel like you need your parents to go through this with you. Personally I would go to the doctor first and if I really felt like I needed my parents than I would tell them. You wouldn't be ruining their lives, they love you. Their first priority would be to help you.

Support does help a lot going through tough problems like this. Like i-luv-edward said, you can always have support from people online as well.

Whatever you choose to do I hope it really does helps you.

I'm bulimic too. :(

I think you should deffinately tell you parents. It's too hard to deal with it alone. Support goes a long way. Your doctor could also help alot. He'll most likely give you great tips.

As for the friends thing, try to find somewhere to make friends. You have to take things slow though.

You have done the first thing you need to do. Realize and admit you have a problem and you are sick. An eating disorder is like any other illness. It is not your fault and you need support.

Yes, tell your parents. You definitely need their support. It will be hard for you to recover and get well alone. No one should have to be alone and sick. Tell them, tell your Dr. and get on the road to recovery. Think healthy and happy. That is what you want to be. Being thin is not worth making yourself sick over. Life is too short, it goes by quickly.

Get some counseling. Someone to help you with the ED and someone to help you with self esteem and other emotional issues that may have caused you to develop an eating disorder. Good luck and God Bless. And please tell your parents or another adult that loves you so you are not alone.

Thank you so much for your answers.. It really means a lot even though I don't know you at all.. I'm going to talk with my doctor today, and in some way I am really looking forward to it. I just want to be healthy and think normal, but I still just want to be t-h-i-n. I hope he can change my sick view..

Thank you CCs:)

You're welcome and good luck today at the Dr. You should look forward to it. Get healthy. Talk to your parents too. Can they go with you to the Dr.? Instead of thinking thin, think healthy and fit. Thin is not always better.

i know that i can def relate to you and ive gotten over bulimia.
def check your messages bc i would love to help you !

I can relate. What saved me was letting my parents know because they have stopped buying junk foods that i could binge on.

the only thing that i hated was going to counsoling (i probably spelled that wrong). it just really bothered me how she tried to get in my mind.

let your parents know for sure if you want to stop
