Ok, this is going to sound really dumb and probably immature. I'll start at the beginning..I have had a lot of trouble with throwing up lately. It's not that I think I'm fat, its more of an emotional thing. It just seems like if I get rid of everything in my body then I can start over. And for periods of time I would stop, but then I just dont eat. It's not like i have to tell myself not to..I just don't. Its subconscience. I know theres a lot of risks and whatever, but I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. I dont get why other people are so concerned about it. So, maybe, could somebody help me understand? I dont want to sound like I'm some idiot kid who doesnt know anything, but i really just dont get it
you may not see anything wrong with it now, but you will if you continue. also, you cannot see anything wrong with this because it is a psycological poblem. by vomiting frequently you will damage your esophagus and the enamel on your teeth will rot away. you can also develop a lot of heart problems and your metablism will eventually become very slow if you do not eat. also, your emotional helth will deteriorate if you continue to do this. you need to get help now so that you will not have any medical problems.
ok i know like the teeth thing and i brush my teeth after i
do it so wouldnt that take the acid or whatever away
Brushing your teeth right after, actually probably isn't the best. Since you just had acid weakening the enamel, scrubbing with a tooth brush might weaken it more. (I'm not saying don't brush your teeth, but I hear it somewhere, also not sure if it's 100% true or if it's just a rumor, but I think it's possible)

Also, you can get ulcers and the lining in your esophagus will start to burn or erode away. You will also get more sores on the inside of your mouth, and your gums will bleed. Your lips will constantly be chapped, your immune system could crash, and you could be more prone to viruses.
yeah i mean i know the stuff that could happen and so i try not to throw up but then i just dont eat. its like i keep going back and forth from one to the other
Here's an even better idea. Eat, Don't throw up, and go to councelling. Not eating will do the same things, but more slowly. Your body starts taking nutrients from itself in order to survive. You're esentially chewing off your own hand. Your digestive system could shut down, as well as many others just in order to keep you alive. Not necessarily healthy or functional, possibly perminantly damaged, but alive. That is, until there's nothing left for your body to take from itself and you die. . .
