k... well here is how is feel.... first of all i'm bulimic (kinda) like i don't binge (i just eat a regular amount or little less of food everyday) but i do end up throwing up alot of what i eat. I'm 14 years old. Heres the thing... i don't think i'm fat... I don't throw up to make myself look skinny. I have A LOT of stuff going on in my life (family UGH!!, school, and ballet) i used to cry a lot but then that just got too hard for me and i decided that i would deal with the pain in a physical way. I used to be a cutter but i stopped and thats when i started to make myself throwup. I used to just throw up when i got really upset but now i throw up on a regular basis. Pretty much i'm just really confused and lost cuz... i don't like throwing up (or cutting) but i can't handle being depressed and sad. any advice?? oh and counsling didn't work. i had it when i was cutting. But my parents don't know about the bulimia.

Growing up, takes different form, for everyone. Some are joyous, some are painful.
Different people handle stress, differently. You will have to learn to handle them YOUR way. However, you will have to decide what is the best way for you, without harming yourself, and others.
Stress is like an illusion, if you choose to let it be real and torment you, it will.. Ignoring it, won't make it go way, learning to deal with it will help you overcome many things in life. EVERYONE has some form of stress..
Perhaps, you should give yourself and your parents a chance to heal the 'pain' inside you.. Talking, helps, it provides a chance for others to hear you, and with that a chance for healing.
Take heart, and prayer doesn't hurt... try it.

Instead of dealing with what you are or were doing, bulimia and the cutting, maybe you should understand what it is that is making you do that. You are suffering from teenage depression and it is very common. It is not easy being a teenager these days and you sound like you have a lot going on in your life. A sense of helplessness, lost, sadness, crying are all clear symptoms of depression. Your cutting and throwing up is not hard to understand. These are things you can control. You have the choice to do them or not in where you may not feel you have control in other areas of your life.
I don't know you so I can't say what has made you feel like you have lost control or sad. Maybe you feel pressure from family about you, school, whatever. Maybe the pressure isn't really there you just feel it is, or maybe it is there. Maybe you don't feel good enough to friends or family or feel like you should live up to something or someone. I don't know. Only you really know. What I do know is that what you are feeling is not right or wrong, bad or good, it is just how you feel and it is very common. A lot of times it just goes unspoken.
I lived with a bulimic for a long time. Being a bulimic is not the problem but why do you feel the pain that causes the bulimia is the problem. If you feel you can, talk to your parents. I know you think they won't understand and you know what, they may not at first. Its not that they dont care, its just hard for adults to comprehend that their kids problems can really be that serious or painful because after all, you are just a kid...right? You know different. If you really cant go to your parents, try school and if that does not work for you, go to a site called "TeenCentral.net.
It is a great site dealing only with the problems of teenagers including cutting and bulimia. It even gives you numbers of teen help lines in every state.
I remember being 14 and at times feeling lost and unloved and even considered suicide. Losing your life is not the answer. Hurting yourself, starving yourself is not the answer. The answer is trying to make you like yourself again and understand the pressure is normal and you will get through it. The answer is understanding that people do care and there are people who love you very much.

How sad, whatever is going on in your family the decisions you are making now could affect the rest of your life and theirs. If you cannot talk to a family member try a friend or teacher. If that is not an option see if you can find a good church if you are not currently in one. There is a lot of good support out there but sometimes when you are at your lowest point you still have to seek the right resource. Good luck and know that people are there for you. Don't give up, there is always a solution and it is often in the least expected places.

Yes I did. Before I found the LGBT section here at Yahoo Answers I felt completely alone because I live in a small village with no openly gay/lesbian people and I had nobody to talk too. Thankfully because of this site I know that I am not the only person feeling like this and I can be myself here without being judged about my sexuality :)

well if counseling didnt work, asking advice from total strangers is almost the same. i had no eating disorders like you do, but my life's full of stress too. like any most normal human being.
well, how do i cope up. i just dealt with it squarely. i can never get rid of it... i dont wanna get rid of my life- i accepted it.
anyways, i still get high-spirited sometimes. though it's mostly bad, at least i still get 2 listen to my favorite songs, walk & enjoy nature, simple things. i dont plan too much ahead.. the more i get disappointed, the more i get stressed. little expectation, little worry.
in short, i try to make my life a bit uncomplicated with the things i can choose. About the things i cant control, i just hope for the best 7 expect the worst :-)

Always remember that no matter how good things are going for you, it can and will change at any time. The same is true for any bad things going on. No matter what, always remember that no matter how bad thing get or how bad you feel, 100 yrs from now you won't care.
