You really need to seek care from someone who knows how to help you. I was 16 years old and weighed 62 lbs. I almost died because I was doing what you are doing now. I went to counseling and my Doctor help me get through it. It is very hard to not see your self that way but you can get better with the help of you family and good friends. Go to your Doctor and tell him/her everything. Don't leave anything out. He/She can't help you if you are not honest with them.

you would need to see an eating disorders specialist. This is a very complicated condition and needs a specialist to get you through. You can ask your medical doctor for a recommendation of a specialist for this disorder.

I think u aresuffering from bullmia and body dysmorphic disorder

Bulimia is a serious and complex illness and usually requires specialist medical care.
The severity of bulimia varies from person to person. It is likely that a large numbers of girls with mild symptoms never seek medical help and recover on their own. However, there is a risk that the bulimia will slowly get worse with time. A common time for women to seek help is when they are planning to start a family.
Guidelines published by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) in January 2004 set the standard for NHS treatment of eating disorders in England and Wales.
The main guidelines for bulimia nervosa are:
GPs should make an early diagnosis of an eating disorder so that those seeking help can be assessed and receive treatment at the earliest opportunity.

Assessment should be comprehensive and include physical, psychological and social needs.

Your GP should initially offer you a self-help programme. As an alternative or additional first step to using the self-help programme, adults with bulimia should be offered the antidepressant medicine fluoxetine. Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), a medicine that can help increase the amount of serotonin available in the brain.

If self-help does not work you should be offered a type of cognitive behavioural therapy (a ‘talking’ treatment) that has been specially adapted for bulimia, known as CBT- BN. The course of treatment should normally be 16-20 individual sessions over 4-5 months.

If you are a teenager with bulimia you should be offered CBT-BN adapted to suit your age, circumstances and level of development. Family members (including other children in the family) should be involved as appropriate. The course should normally be 16-20 individual sessions over 4-5 months.

If you not respond to CBT-BN or if you do not want CBT-BN, other psychological treatments should be considered.

If part of your bulimia involves making yourself vomit, you should be given dental hygiene advice and have regular dental reviews.

If you are a teenager with bulimia, family members (including other children in the family) should be involved in your treatment and care.

You will normally be treated as an outpatient. However, a small minority of people with bulimia may need inpatient treatment, usually when they are at risk of suicide or severe self-harm.Specialist eating disorder help lines are available that can offer support and advice - see the Selected links and Support organisations sections of this article for more information.
Successful treatment of bulimia often depends on the person wanting to recover. If this is the case, the outcome of treatment is usually very good


Signs and symptoms
The signs and symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder include:

Frequently comparing appearance with that of others
Repeatedly checking the appearance of the specific body part in mirrors or other reflective surfaces
Refusing to have pictures taken
Wearing excessive clothing, makeup and hats to camouflage the perceived flaw
Using hands or posture to hide the imagined defect
Frequently touching the perceived flaw
Picking at one's skin
Frequently measuring the imagined or exaggerated defect
Elaborate grooming rituals
Excessive researching about the perceived defective body part
Seeking surgery or other medical treatment despite contrary opinions or medical recommendations
Seeking reassurance about the perceived defect or trying to convince others that it's abnormal or excessive
Avoiding social situations in which the perceived flaw might be noticed
Feeling anxious and self-conscious around others (social phobia) because of the imagined defect
Causes
Body dysmorphic disorder is a type of somatoform disorder. Somatoform disorders are characterized by physical symptoms that suggest a medical condition. However, a thorough medical evaluation doesn't reveal any underlying medical cause for the physical symptoms.

The cause of body dysmorphic disorder is unclear. However, researchers believe that a number of factors may be involved and that they can occur in combination, including:

A chemical imbalance in the brain. An insufficient level of serotonin, one of your brain's chemical messengers involved in mood and pain, may contribute to body dysmorphic disorder. Although such an imbalance in the brain is unexplained, it may be hereditary.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder. Body dysmorphic disorder often occurs with obsessive-compulsive disorder, in which a person uncontrollably practices ritual behaviors that may literally take over his or her life. A history of or genetic predisposition to obsessive-compulsive disorder may make you more susceptible to BDD.
An eating disorder. Body dysmorphic disorder also may be present with an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, especially if it involves a weight-related part of the body, such as the waist, hips or thighs.
Generalized anxiety disorder. Body dysmorphic disorder may accompany generalized anxiety disorder. This condition involves excessive worrying that disrupts your daily life, often causing exaggerated or unrealistic anxiety about life circumstances, such as a perceived flaw or defect in appearance, as in BDD. A history of or genetic predisposition to generalized anxiety disorder may make you more susceptible to body dysmorphic disorder.
Psychological, behavioral or cultural factors. People from families of higher socioeconomic status or strict cultural standards may experience body dysmorphic disorder more often. Someone who feels that he or she must live up to unobtainable or unrealistically high expectations for personal appearance and success may be more prone to BDD.
Treatment
Doctors often use a combination of medications and talk therapy (psychotherapy) to help people overcome body dysmorphic disorder:

Antidepressants. A specific type of antidepressant called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may help lessen or alleviate the signs and symptoms of BDD. Depending on the severity of symptoms, your doctor may wish to consider using other medications, as well.
Cognitive behavior therapy. This type of talk therapy identifies unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replaces them with healthy, positive ones. It's based on the idea that your own thoughts — not other people or situations — determine how you behave. The premise is that even if an unwanted situation hasn't changed, you can change the way you think and thus behave in a positive way. Cognitive behavior therapy can be effective in learning to manage the effects of BDD. Careful attention to your thoughts may be coupled with certain behavioral assignments, such as reducing the amount of time you check your appearance in the mirror, or increased exposure, such as going out in public more often.
