Am I Bulimic?

IHATEFEELINGFAT = where did you look that up?

the DMS criteria says you have to binge and purge at least 2x per wk for 3 mth at least. but you said you never binge…therefore you are a purging-anorexic. although you have to have a bmi of 17.5 or under and not had a period fr at least 3 mth to be classed anorexic.

oh am terriby sorry just relooked it up again and I must have miss read it it is 2x a week for atleast 3 months and also geriann is probaly right by saying your probaly a purging anorexic and about u[your bmi.

take care x

I have just looked up bulimia for for and it said that: to be ulimic you make your self sick at least 3 times a week and for 3 months at least.

if you fit this then I guess you may have bulimia take care x

I have been told I’ve got bulimia by my doctor for nearly 3 years and my BMI aint under 17.5 im slightly overweight because if you look between the lines they say to be diagnosed you need fluctuating of about 10 lbs and the say bulimics that compensate for a binge are usualy slightly over weight becuase there are 2 types of bulimia compensatory and non compensatory plus you need to binge and purge x2 a week for three months and a binge is usualy an unusualy large amount for anyone in one siting mine usually about 2500 and you cant stop

Okay sweetie research was wrong no matter the amount of food you ate if you bring it up TO LOSE WEIGHT you are belimic but most people don’t relise that they are until something goes wrong .When you bring food back up your stomach acids come up with it and if you continue to do this year after year the acids will burm a hole in your neck .But I had to do a project on eating disorders I I picked Bulimia and I got an A+ but if you have too limit it to your dinner not your breakfast and lunch because you body needs protein to help keep your heart beating and you morning and lunch meals have a lot of proteins

I have bulimia and I dont binge eat..I either dont eat or eat a reg. size meal and make myself sick after

it sounds more like a purging anorexic. cause you eat very little, but purge [throw up] everything. take care.

yes!!!

well you cud be on the verge of bulimia. but you cud also have a small form of it. I wud say that you have a ED but maybe you shud see a doctor…

I did not realize until now that bulimia makes you sick.

because I was bulimic for 2 years I have really legit lung problems and stomach problems.

-when I eat, because of my stomach and the weakness in my sphincter [flap that connects the stomach and the esophagus] food and stomach acid come up my throat and go into my lungs.

I have coughing up blood and nasty green stuff and globs of food. I have had a bronchoscopy and multiple tests and so much of my parents money has gone towards fixing something that I have caused.

I might even have to have surgery to fix the holes in my esophagus. this is realllyyy not something to kid around with.

stop while your ahead ok? I know, I really understand that it seems hopeless but just be hard on yourself. tell yourself its stupid and you will begin to believe it. in the scheme of things, we are all lucky to have computers to type this nonsense on.

be strong, please ask me anything if you need support, im here.
