Question
last year i started to make myself throw up after i eat and i was losing a lot of weight and i stopped and last month i started again and today when i was throwing i was also throwing up blood. what does that mean
Hello Sandrise
My advice is to stop making yourself sick right away. The blood in your vomit suggests you may have ruptured your stomach lining or your oestophagus. Depending on how much you are bleeding, I cannot say how badly you may have damaged yourself.
I do not mean to scare you but I would strongly advise you to seek some immediate medical attention and explain the situation.
Take care,
Loren

Expertise
I can answer most questions in relation to anorexia, bulimia, ED-NOS, obsessive compulsive tendencies and body dysphormic issues.
Experience
I am not certified in psychology or any other related topic of under/post-graduate study. However, I have lived with a combination of eating disorders, body dysphormia, OCD and depression since the age of thirteen so I can offer understanding and advice to anyone who needs it. I am pretty knowledgeable in both the physical and emotional side effects of eating disorders having experienced them myself. I, too, have dealt with self-recovery so I can offer support/encouragement to anyone currently going through the same.
