Do I have bulimia???
Okay so I dint really know. I don't want to think I do but again I don't know. Here's my situation: like at the beginning of this year I was making myself puke after about 1 meal a day. I went to the renfrew center a couple of times for therapy but never really followed through. I said I would stop and did for about a month or two. I sort of feel like I just covered it up and the actual problem never really got addressed. I get told so much that I am not fit even though I can run 10 miles on one day and am in normal range for my height and weight. So anyway I have begun now to purge 2-3 meals a day and bing and purge about 3 times a week. Wow this is sealing really bad now that I put it all together. Okay so do I have bulimia or not? I have been doing this for like 4 months.
Do I need to tell my mom i'm bulimic?
You should really tell your mom about your bullimia. You know, if you don't tell her soon it could become a really big health issue. I think that your mom will be very understanding, and you should ask for help even if you don't want it you need to get it. I'm not trying to force you to do anything but tellin gyour mom is the right thing to do. I'm 13 too, and I really feel fat a lot. I'm friends with all those really skinny people and Im alwaysfeleing soo fat. I'm always watching what i eat even though i know im average... Im very wary though because i know that if i try too hard to lose weight then i could become annorexic or bullemic. I recommend that instead of being bullemic you should start to work out more... just start to run a lot and play sports for fun. This is a much more healthy alternative to work on your figure than being byllemic. So, yeah, you should really tell your mom... don't be afraid to ask for help. And you really shouldnt worry about what others think, or compare yourself to them. Im still learning this but if you dont compare yourself to others, only to yourslef, then you will feel much better about yourself. Tell your mom!!! This may really be life or death if you don't --good luck
Helping my girlfriend with bulimia?
My girlfriend has been bulimic for 4 years. She has her good days and bad, lately more bad days. On bad days she is depressed and almost non functional. She went to the school counselor finally but doesnt want to go anymore because they made her go to the doctors. The doctors ran tests and found out she was hypokalemic (low potassium), but her heart rhythm is fine. The doctor referred her to a psychiatrist and psychologist, but she has to use insurance to see them, which means her parents finding out. I talk to her all the time about it, but all she ever says is I dont want to see the doctors anymore. I think she is trying to stop, but doesn't really want to yet. Some of her friends are thinking of telling her parents because she wont, I said they shouldn't do that before, because it still wont help but now I am thinking differently and maybe telling them is the only way she will finally get help. What should I do?

My friends think I have bulimia, what should I do and is this bulimia?
How can I tell my mom I'm bulimic?
It will be difficult for you and your mom but I think telling her is better than not telling her; that is if you can trust her and she is a safe person.Like others have suggested; you can write down what you want to say to her. I recommend writing down what you want to say even if you don’t plan on saying all of it to your mom. Make notes for yourself so that you can use while talking with your mom. Highlight important points that you feel she needs to hear. Expect questions from your mom and put some thought into those questions; it may help you understand the bulimia better.Your mom may ask questions like: When did this start? Do you think you’re fat? I don’t know if your mom will ask questions like that; I’m only sharing with you what I’ve faced.It may be helpful to also write down questions that you yourself want to ask; if your mom doesn’t have the answers then ask her to help you find the answers. Perhaps this will require speaking with a psychologist or doing research.Tell your mom that you have something you need to talk to her about and tell her it’s important so if she can’t give you all of her attention then you should plan on a set time to talk about it later.Try to be open and honest with your mom but remember you don’t have to overshare in one sitting. Bulimia is a difficult struggle and telling your mom will be an initial step on a path to feeling better. It won’t be a conversation you have in minutes; it will be a conversation you have for possibly years.Keep in mind that your mom may not understand bulimia; please don’t get overwhelmed if she has a lot questions and if she offers advice that isn’t the greatest. I’ve heard things like, “just don’t eat so much” and “just don’t make yourself puke after you eat” and “why don’t you just exercise instead?” Unfortunately, it’s just not that easy and just not that simple.I haven’t purged for over a year; my life isn’t great but it’s better without bulimia.
