Bulimia is estimated to affect between 3% of all women in the U.S. at some point in their lifetime. About 6% of teen girls and 5% of college-aged females are believed to suffer from bulimia. \n\nBulimics are also susceptible to other compulsions, affective disorders, or addictions. Unlike anorexics, bulimics experience significant weight fluctuations, but their weight loss is usually not as severe or obvious as anorexics. \n\nThe secrecy of bulimia stems from the shame that bulimics often attach to the disorder. Binge eating is not triggered by intense hunger. It is a response to depression, stress, or other feelings related to body weight, shape, or food. Binge eating often brings on a feeling of calm or happiness (euphoria), but the self-loathing because of the overeating soon replaces the short-lived euphoria. \n\nOften, the individual will feel an impairment or loss of control during the binge eating and the purging becomes a way of regaining control. Not all bulimics engage in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas during the current episode. Some may fast for days following a binge episode. Others may resort to excessive exercise as a method to regain their control and rid their body of the possible weight gained during the binge. Excessive exercise is that which interferes with normal daily activities or when it occurs at inappropriate times or in inappropriate settings, or when it continues despite illness or injury.\n\nPatients with bulimia present a variety of medical and psychological complications which are usually considered to be reversible through a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Treatment can be managed by either a physician, psychiatrist, or in some cases, a clinical psychologist. The extent of the medical complications generally dictates the primary treatment manager. A psychiatrist, with both medical and psychological training, is perhaps the optimum treatment manager. \n\nSome patients may require hospitalization due to the extent of the medical or psychological complications. Others may seek outpatient programs. Still others may require only weekly counseling and monitoring by a practitioner. Stabilization of the patient's physical condition will be the immediate goal if the individual is in a life-threatening state. The primary goals of treatment should address both physical and psychological needs of the patient in order to restore physical health and normal eating patterns. The patient needs to identify internal feelings and distorted beliefs that led to the disorder initially. An appropriate treatment approach addresses underlying issues of control, self-perception, and family dynamics. Nutritional education and behavior management provides the patient with healthy alternatives to weight management. Group counseling or support groups can assist the patient in the recovery process as well.\n\nThe ultimate goal should be for the patient to accept herself and lead a physically and emotionally healthy life. Restoration of physical and mental health will probably take time, and results will be gradual. Patience is a vital part of the recovery process. A positive attitude coupled with much effort on the part of the affected individual is another integral component to a successful recovery.

MySpace has many groups for different eating disorders.  There are so many people on there, you're bound to find someone who would like to talk to someone in private about what they've been through with this.  I have never heard of it, but it sounds like anyone with it would need some help dealing with it.  You can start a group on MySpace about it and you'll have floods of people want to talk to you.

If I had to choose, I'd pick bulimia.  You still get to eat that way.  However, I'm not emotionally unstable, so I don't have to pick either.  Catch my drift?

Yup... Did it for years. It's not easy. You just take everything day by day. If you're looking for some support, check out Yahoo Groups and other Blog sites like MySpace and Xanga. They usually have groups, and you can link up with people in similar situations. If you need to chat, drop me an email: krustaccean@yahoo.com.

Well if you are looking for live support check the mental health section in your city or county and they will be able to tell you where to find one. There is one very good site that I know of online and I will place the link below. Give it a try the forum is run very smoothly and the site is taken care of my pyschologist.

I have a known a few people that have battled bulimia and other eating disorders, including myself. I have really only seen one way to "fix" the whole purging thing, it's not a good fix but it is atleast more productive than shoving your finger down your throat...\n Most people that purge are really looking for some kind of control over their life and this is a sub-conscious way of acheving it, so find a different way of "controlling" your mind and your life is the key. Most of the people I know that have battled this condition have really only gotten out of that mind set by basically purging the negative energy a different way, almost always through intense exercise. While this basically has the same effect on you if you don't eat, you usally find that the workout and improvement becomes more important than being super-thin and in the end they all ended up not bulimic and a lot more attractive, and not to mention in better shape and happier, than when they were bulimic.\n\nThis mnd set usually comes with a lot of gifts to like a very high mental and physical pain tollerance, kind of a no brainer, as well as above average IQ and emotional IQ.\n\nHope that helps, good luck. It is not an easy fight.
