Question
I started out as a anorexic-bullemic...about two years ago. This following year will be my third year and i have been a bullemic-obsessed freak for this year and the last.Whenever I try to stop and control myself...i'll find myself not eating again...and then in the midst of the day i find i really just want to eat and puke when I get stressed. My throat has turned  red from this on several occassions. I have the blisters on my hands. And I've tried everyway to stop myself because i'm ashamed.but that doesn't seem to stop me...i don't know what to do anymore.

Answer
Please don't call yourself a freak!

All I can ask is that you search for real-time help and as soon as possible!  By sounds of it, you need professional and medical help, and soon.

It is too much of a struggle and unlikely to succeed trying to beat this alone, therefore I recommend seeing your Dr as soon as possible and telling him/her everything!

Expertise

I am a medical student and have suffered from anorexia and bulimia myself, I am willing to answer questions based on my own experiences. My advice, however, should not be used as a substitute for that of a qualified medical professional.

Experience

I suffered from anorexia from the age of about 10. By the age of 13 I was suffering from bulimia. Now after 10 years of suffering from an eating disorder, I feel that I can say that I'm well on my way with recovery and would just like to be able to share what I have learned with those in similar situations!
