I was diagnosed with bulimia in September. as soon as it started I knew it was a massive problem. I never hid it from my husband or family i want straight to the doctors. In the 1st few weeks it was happening around twice a week and i still had a little control..... Now i am still awaiting treatment and its gone to more like twice a day. I feel like the doctors have let me down and this thing is getting worse. i have been given a self help book to read but find it triggers me ??? Anyone help xx

Which book were you given? I personally like "Hope, Help, and Healing for EDs" as it's written from a therapy aspect, and not as an auto-biography or anything.

Hang in there- it's really tough to get into a facility or programme because of weight lists and stuff. Just keep calling and asking around to different places if you can.

I know how hard it is to get herlp here in the Uk for an eating disorder. Keep pestering your GP, go onto www.b-eat.org.uk and see if The Maudesley can help you with advice. My daughter deteriorated when she was waiting for her original referral which took 10 weeks. so dont give up its your right to get medical help

That's just unbelievable. Can you at least see a therapist on an outpatient basis. Maybe change your doctor. I recommend "Life without ED". It gives advice you can actually follow and it has a funny note to it every once in a while. Stay strong, hon. Did you try a support group?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
