I'm so sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. It actually sounds like you are anorexic, purging type, as your weight is very very low (75% ideal body weight----severely low! Your BMI is at a critical low---just 15.8), and you are restricting as well.
Please get help. You shouldn't have to feel this way. I know it's difficult to speak with your parents, but you dying from this illness would hurt them far more. You are at a low enough weight to benefit from inpatient treatment, but if you don't feel ready for that, finding a good treatment team---a therapist, doctor, nutritionist and group therapist---would be really helpful.
You NEED and DESERVE help. You do not need to be in so much pain.
Here are some links to find support and treatment. Good luck!

This is an illness, nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. The first step in overcoming this disease is realizing that you have a problem...guess what you have made it to the first step! congratulations! You need to see a doctor or a counselor, I know that it is a hard step but it is one that could save your life and save your family from a lot of pain.
Check in the phone book or see your family doctor for a recommendation.
Good Luck
Blessed Be!

You need to go to a doctor and be honest about it. Bulimia is a very serious illness. There is no reason to be ashamed of trying to get help. There are websites that offer support and finding someone that knows what you are going through, but you need to go to a doctor. Go to a new doctor that knows nothing about you and you never have to go back. Just get some help.

Seek professional help. Talk to your family, that is what they are there for. They will not judge you. Don't be ashamed. There are countless others out there, but you are asking for help. You won't only help yourself through the healing process but it will help your family.
God Bless and good luck.

do no longer lose an excellent relative over this. you would be able to desire to alienate your self the two out of your loved ones, and out of your cousin. Plus, if it ever went extra, you may result with childrens with 3 eyeballs, no shaggy dog tale.... Plus it is unlawful in maximum states that i comprehend of, different than Arkansas, the place it is not an determination!(shaggy dog tale)

Go to a therapist. Don't be embarrassed. You aren't the only sufferer out there.
