    Is this bulimia?
    Okay, so I am almost 17.
    For years I've thrown up after I ate when I felt too full, now it almost every meal. I wake up I want to puke, even when bile only thing coming up. People in my house seem to think I am bulimic now cause I go to the bathroom after I eat. They see me throwing up
    Sometimes I do force it out when I feel I have to puke and it won't come up
    When I'm stressed or feeling anxious I eat then I vomit cause my stomach unsettled...
    I'm not really overweight
    I'm not happy about my weight but I don't MAKE MYSELF puke to lose weight, and if that what I were doing, well it hasn't been working lol
    My teeth have gotten cavities and my gums are unhealthy
    I don't know if anyone could help it would be appreciated

    And when your family takes you to the doctor what have they said ?

    What is your dentist doing about your gums and teeth.

    The doctor said it could have something to do with the acid in my stomach
    He had me change my diet and it all stopped for a while when my boyfriend of 3 years proposed to me
    Everything was going fine
    Now, everything is hectic I am stressed all the time I'm sick
    I get these migranes that won't stop
    My mom is dying
    My only brother is in jail
    And, to top it all of my fiancé is cheating on me again...
    The dentist had to do 3 root canals
    Major cleaning
    Now my gums bleed when I brush my teeth

    Sound like you are bulimic. Most are of average weight. Tell your parents of your problem. They can get you help. I have been fighting the big b for over 15 years. Every day is a challenge.

    It is a control prob. When everything is good its OK. When you stress it gets worse. It fits your situation

    If you do it too much you will burn away your esophagus because of the acids in your stomach.. you won't be able to hold food down ever.. and you WILL die.. happened to a 14 year old girl that my sister knew.. was in the hospital because she was coughing up blood.. couldn't hold anything down and died 2 weeks later

    You need to get help.. this is serious and is no laughing matter
