Anorexia/Eating Disorders/I need help

Question
For the past couple of months, every time I eat something large or even very small portions of food, I feel sick like I need to throw up and I don't want to. I am lead to believe that I have bulimia but the only difference with me is that I don't want to throw up or have an image problem with myself. No matter what I eat or how small of a portion it is, I can't seem to keep it down. Please help me.

Answer
When you get so used to making yourself vomit some bulimics train their bodies to purge themselves automatically. You need to seek medical treatment if you can't keep any food down this is serious. Go to something-fishy.org and contact someone in your town where you can get treatment for your issue.
