Three days ago my bulimia came back. I felt as though it was the only solution. So, I would eat then force myself to throw up twice a day for two days. Yesterday after throwing up my throat really hurt, it still does. The corners of my mouth are really dry and are peeling. But, how could this have happened so soon? Wouldn't it take months before this would happen? Also, how many times can you throw up before getting a tear in your esophagus? Anyway, I know it's bad, I'm going to get help soon. Thank you for your responses!

You can tear your esophagus with just one episode. Your teeth will eventually rot out due to the stomach acid.

Your stomach contains a VERY harsh acid. So throwing it up can cause those symptoms immediately.

Getting help soon is good, getting help SOONER is better. Especially for your body. You're quickly going to get into a starvation mode with your body that will start to digest itself while it tries to continue living. Dealing with this soon rather than later will serve you well.
