What did this blood look like? If it is a red colour you could have damaged your throat lining or bitten your tongue or scraped your fingernail on the roof of your mouth. If it is gritty and blackish red, that means you have seriously stomach problems.

In other cases, you need to see a doctor before it's too late. Also ask your doctor to recommend you immediately to a therapist. See the therapist twice, and if you don't like him/her, move on. Also, see if you can see a psychiatrist that can try some mood altering drugs. I was very skeptical of drugs at first, but now that it makes me positive, I feel like I can beat this. I started to see a dietitian, which I always said I wouldn't.

Anyway, good luck, and please, take care of yourself in the meantime. This should be taken very seriously.

In either cases...,rather.

It was dark red blood.

Blood is never a good sign. Does anyone know you have bulimia? If this happened to me, I would be in the ER immediately. Blood is nothing to play with and neither is bulimia. Go seek help and possible medical treatment. It's the best thing to do for yourself.

Please talk to a doctor right away - even if you think it's not a big deal or there easn't a lot. It can be serious in some cases.

It can be very scary... I don't really make myself 'sick' anymore, but when I did this happened quite a lot. I just thought I'd scratched the back of my throat...I never did anything about it, when I probably should have. I now have a lot of trouble breathing/coughing and it's all related to my purging past... My advice...GET TREATMENT! :)

Okay, most likely you've done something to your throat or esophagus. You need to get medical help now before it bursts or the gash gets bigger. For now, restrain from purging at all costs- tape your mouth shut if you have to.

Medical help like now tonite or just soon? I have an appoitment for like a full physical thing but its not till December something

Call into your doctor and state that it is urgent. People cancel appointments all that time, so you may be able to get in earlier than December.

You need to get to a doc. You could have a bleeding ulcer. It can be fatal.

IT MEANS STOP! Big warning sign...it could be something very minor or something very serious...please stop...even if you could just manage a few days....

hey,it's happened to me too..once..I got really scared and then I said I would stop...after 3 days there I am again..should I do something?

Okay, Christine, so update please.

Blood is a bad sign!! Yes, it could be a number of things, but wouldnt you feel better if you just went to the doctor? This is something to take very seriously!!!!!!!

Here is an update...I didn't really do anything about it..My parents were out of town..But I am fine. And I haven't really made myself sick really since then. Thanks for the help guys!
