    the stats are i'm a female, 23, in college. ive been battling this thing for over a year now. it's worse than ever. i can hardly type i feel so sick, my stomach could literally burst with food right now. i cant make myself sick as frequent anymore, the reflex is gone. today wsa ash wednesday. i said i would stop myself getting sick for lent, give myself some kind of spiritual motivation.obviously that plan didnt work out. my stomach is fecked now, like a bottomless pit sometimes.i can eat tonnes of food and not feel full untill im litterally puking thinking of how much ive ate. i could go to tesco, spend 15eur on food no prob and have it all eated/ raged and purged in half an hour. i cant explain why i do it.its like an impulse i cant fight..i dont even taste the food i eat it so quick only to achieve the filling like im going to burst, actual physical pain for 5 mins until i have to throw up. you have no idea of the guilt/ how pathethic i feel that i have resorted to this extreme. my heart is racing as i write this, trying to deal with the copious amounts of food it has to struggle to digest because i cannot puke it up. it is a disgusting cycle. i went to a councellor a few weeks ago but was not able to talk about this issue.its so embarrassing you know, its a self inflicted illness. has anyone practical food tips to try out. i think i am going to have to avoid shops altogether the temptations are too much.i actually cannot afford the food anymore. please help :(

    sick.girl you need more specific and personal help than you can get here. Of course posters can post their own experiences, but in reality, you need to get yourself to proper help. This is too big a deal for you to try and self fix, I think.

    I suggest you contact http://www.bodywhys.ie/ or talk to your gp for further help and advice. Do not be embarrassed to discuss this, you are not alone, it is an illness like any other. Many, many people have suffered like you and overcome the illness.

    Im afraid I do have to close this thread as you require medical advice and help, and we cannot provide that here. I wish you well in your recovery, which, by posting here, you have already begun.
