Sometimes when I get really upset I get nauseous and throw up. It makes me feel better, I feel pain but it helps.
does this count as SI or possibly bulimia?

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...
The only time I would sya it is SI is if you begin to use it JUST TO feel the pain of it. When you make yourself throw up because you WANT to hurt yourself.
Hopethat makes this clearer for you.
Otherwise, its probably the stress thats causing you to throw up, which means the only way you can avoid it is if you learn ways to cope with the stress a littl better or takew steps to remove the stress triggers.
Anyway, I hope ive helped.
For me, throwing up was (is) SI. I hurt myself in various ways, including cutting, not eating, and throwing up. I have conditioned myself not to like certain foods that I used to like by throwing up after I eat them, feeling the pain of vomiting and knowing the damage I'm doing to my esophagus and teeth.
Labels like eating disorders help psychiatrists classify us, but sometimes the drive isn't to lose weight, isn't to hurt the self.
