Answer 2

Your risk is very high, although it's more likely that you'll pass out rather than just die: stop it. The acid from the vomit screws your stomach, as well as your teeth. And if you're vomiting up the healthy food and vitamins, that's really not what most would call not malnutritioned. I'd see a doctor if your stomach bothers you that much, as it can lead to an ulcer or worse. Although, I hope you see a doctor anyways if you haven't beat the bulimia yourself.

Answer 3

do you want to get better or just don't want to be alone? how long have you been bulimic? i would talk to someone, just let them know what you are going through and that you would like to see someone (if you really are serious about getting well). also, don't put off telling someone if you want to get better - the longer you live with bulimia, the harder it is to recover.

for some reason i get the impression that you don't want to tell someone because you don't want to get better (as is the case with most eating disorder sufferers). or do you want to tell someone and just don't know who? anyway, good luck with your illness and i wish you all the best.

Answer 4

You don't always have to tell any one just think about it some bad things about eating disorders are you can't build muscle so you can't get that tight tummy because your body will eventually eat away all of your muscle. and you cant exercise without food as your energy . if you have to start eating only a little if you are scared but if it goes too far maybe talk to a counselor instead of a parent who might think that you are out of your mind.don't starve your self if you have to stay on a strict diet.

Answer 5

Pick an interesting quote for your headstone, and leave a note saying what readings and what kind of music you'd like at your funeral. Don't sign up for any long magazine subscriptions.

'Cause if you don't get help you'll die, and if you don't tell anyone you need help, you won't get it until it's too late.

It's a disease, like measles or the flu, and you need professional help to get through it.

Answer 10

If you don't tell anyone, you can never fully recover. You need help and need to trust at least one person who can give you advice and help you. You need medical help. All is said.
