I'm 14 year old female, I have had a stressful time with everything recently and the bullies at school have been saying I am fat and I know I shouldn't believe them but I do. Everytime I look in the mirror I am ashamed of what I see! So the other night I was in bed and I stuck my fingers down my throat.. I really don't know why I just did %-) But ever since I have been binge eating and then making myself throw it back up.. I have tried to stop but I can't :/ everytime I do it I feel terrible after, knowing I am harming my body! But it's to hardto stop as I know it is making me skinny... My question is, what is wrong with me and how do I stop? Please help I'm scared and confussed...
Hi plzhelp,
It sounds like you may have bulimia. Start by making an appointment with your doctor. Tell him/her what is going on. They will help you.
I urge you to tell your parents or an adult that you can trust about what you are doing. It's OK if you don't know why. Bulimia happens to a lot of young people, usually girls.
When you can, tell the school staff about the bullying going on. It is not right and schools are supposed to take bullying very seriously.
Keep us posted. Good luck.

Thank you for your reply!
Although I dont really have a good relationship with my parents and I don't want to worry them %-) Is there no way of dealing with it on my own?

If you can do it on your own, great!
If you can't, ask for help.
It takes a stronger person to ask for help than to not.
Good luck.

So it is possible to do it alone?
It may not be easy.
You may need some support to do this. That is why you should talk to someone.
If you are strong, you have a good chance. Start today. If you "slip" don't worry just keep going. One day at a time.
Good luck.
