do you eat a whole lot, then make yourself throw it up?

sometimes. I sometimes I eat just snacks during the day, and if i eat siomething unhealthy i throw it up. i sometimes throw up after meals too

if this was just a few times i'd say it's still dangerous and could turn into an eating disorder. if this is a continuing thing than i'd say it's bulimia or some kind of purging eating disorder (i guess there's a lot of different kinds). please see a doctor.

The most commonly diagnosed eating disorder is Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa are the listed ones, but a lot of people fall somewhere in between the two. I'm one of those in between. Regardless of diagnostic purposes or where one may fall or not the behavior is dangerous. Purging is particularly rough on the heart. There are three chemicals that make up electrolytes (the thing that powers our heart and other things) sodium, chlorine and potassium. Sodium needs chlorine to bind, which is found in stomach acid in the highest quantity, potassium can also be leeched out by the process. So, by getting rid of stomach acid it means you can't process sodium right and eventually a sever depletion of electrolytes leading to a heart attack or death.

I know that sounds kind of preachy, but it's the research of what I was doing that has helped me not do it for two weeks. The knowledge may not work, it may. I hope it helps and as others have said see a professional. You may need to get an electrolyte panel done.

I would say it is, however I am no expert. I would get help while you are still asking the question, not when it has consumed your life.

thanks everyone. I want to talk to my doctor about it, but I don't want my parents to find out about it.
