oh dear, sounds bad...lemme guess, cholestorol thru the roof, electrolytes outta whack, magenisium, potassium and iron all down, possibly a really low heart rate and blood pressure too, tho i dunno how often the latter happen with bulimia, anorexia was my area of speciality, tho i believe the two are rather closely related...ok, so u don't hafta answer all that, getting a bit personal i know...but i've been there, done that w/the whole blood tests thing...what got me out of it was a passion for stuff beyond the anorexia and the anorexia was interferring with that...it wasn't ur gonna die, but u can't run track til ur gain sum weight that put me into action! well, actually "ur gonna die did put me into action" b/c being my typical defiant, feisty self i thought "nah, **** i'm not"...i've never been into appeasing, basically i reckon the only way to deal with a **** is to give it back as good as it gets, imagine the bulimia as a separate person, not a part of u and turn around n punch it's lights out, do whatever it takes to stop urself doing it (apart from otha harnful stuff that is!), there are some distractions on the self-injury board and they might work for purging to cuz it's basically anotha form of self-harm i reckon (altho othas may disagree on that i dunno)...if ur going it like everyday tho, i would seriously consider admitting urself into hospital...i know it sounds drastic but if i could turn back the clock to the worst points of my ED (i.e. when i thought drinking water would make me put on weight, along with diet soda!) that's what i wld do.
