in Health and Weight Loss
I am bulimic for the past two years. I am not overweight or underweight as well. I want to maintain my current weight right now so i do some exercise once a week like muai thai. But everytime i eat something, i always feel guilty so when i feel like i overate, i'd keep eating everything and i won't stop until i finish it then i'd purge everything as well right after. It became my daily routine now and it is getting really worse. I don't wanna get fat and struggling to lose weight because of an upcoming event. I tried to be vegan but tempted to eat meat so i purge when i eat meat as well. I always crave sweets and starve myself but ending up binging and purging. I need help. Please.

    It's nit easy to get professional help. Especially when your parents doesn't take it seriously and they wont believe that it's a serious disorder

    Your profile says you're 18. You don't need your parents to seek help. If cost is an issue, look for a clinic in your area that provides low/no cost options.

    You need to talk to your counselor then.
    School counselor.

    If you are really 18, you are old enough to seek professional medical advice.

    The best thing to do, if your parents are useless, is to seek some help from someone at school. If there is a psychologist, ask to see them. If there isn't, find a teacher who seems normal, reasonable and nice and tell them your problem and ask them if they could help you find someone who could help you.

    If you have a friend who has a parent you know well and like, you could tell them. They could look into it.

    Relatives are a today issue. I'm assuming you'll know better about your relatives and have already decided that they aren't the right course.

    Church. If you go, you may already know someone there you can ask. Priests and rabbis are trained to act as counselors. Some are better than others, lol, but it's not an unfamiliar place for them, helping people with problems. That's what they do! Some churches these days have Free Medical Care day where doctors and nurses volunteer their time. I bet there is someone in your church who would volunteer to help you.

    You really need at least a therapist, but would be much better off with a team - doctor, dietitian and therapist.

    Until then, I don't know. Try eating more peanut butter. ;)

    Find professional help.
    it's difficult to recover from an eating disorder with a team, it'll be even harder alone.

    Eating disorders KILL. It is too serious to try and wing it yourself. Even with professional help it will be a hard battle. You can overcome it!

    It isn't easy to get professional help, but you really should. Have you told your parents the truth? If you tell them what you just wrote, I think it might be difficult for them to be in denial. If it's financially difficult, you could look around for OA meetings in your area? I tried that a couple of times but transport didn't work out for me so I can't vouch for it either way, but they were very welcoming to me as an anoretic/bulimic so I didn't feel very out of place. I understand your struggle and I hope it gets better :( good luck!

    How many years have you struggled with this?

    I'm guessing if it was possible to treat without help, you'd have already done it. You are obviously aware of the destructive nature regarding your relationship with food.

    Please get professional help.

    Edited because I'm clearly having writing issues tonight.
