I am here. I am ready to take the road to recovery. I have been bulimic for years. It's all I know. I don't know how to be normal. I tell myself over and over again that I can stop!!! But I can't. I don't know why. You know what the worst thing is.... I can't go to the doctors. I can, but my job. I am in a career, where if I have this on my record, I'm done!! I might as well just start over. Is it possible to do this by myself. I keep sliding downward and I have to grab a hold of something! I don't even know where to start. <font color="green"> </font> <font color="green"> </font>

I would look for counseling. It helps to have someone who is experienced to help you along the way. You aren't alone. I also have bulimia. With counseling and meds (Prozac), I've been able to cut down on my episodes. Most jobs should have a confidentiality agreement when it comes to health insurance. Get the details so you know where you stand. Ask who can see your records. It may be more safe than you think.
Let us know if we can help with any other questions.

hi freefalling and welcome!

i think you need to check into the confidentiality of insurance. most of them are not allowed to provide information such as that to employers. please check into it. there is another thing that could happen as well. you could tell therapist wherever you go to please not list exact dx. they could list anxiety or something of that nature for short term?

then, you could always pay out of pocket. no trace.

please consider seeking therapy...you've dealt with this long enuf on your own.

be safe,

kd
