Is it possible to have a disorder similar to bulimia that applies to other things besides food? I think I have a disorder that is like bulimia but doesn't involve eating. The same habits are present, binging and purging, feeling out of control. For example, I will spend lots of money one week and then when I feel out of control I will be extremely frugal and then when i feel back in control I do things to lose that feeling. This also applies to organization. I will obsessively clean and become very organized, only to gradually become more and more messy and out of control with clutter until I feel completely out of control and then I will continue the cycle. What does this sound like? Bipolar? I'm planning on seeing a doctor but I wanted to see if anyone could take a guess on what this might be.

What misconceptions do you have about the symptoms of bulimia and anorexia? I ask because I see a lot of incorrect answers about, mostly, bulimia. I've been studying both disorders fairly extensively in my psychology class. Most people with bulimia aren't extremely skinny. Once they do reach a certain low body weight, they in the binging and purging subtype of anorexia. A person, diagnostically, cannot be both anorexic and bulimic. Well, the first criteria is that they consume more food in a specific time period than people usually would. Also, vomiting isn't the only compensatory behavior that bulimics will engage in, although it is the most common. People may also take diuretics and laxatives, get enemas, overly exercise or starve themselves to compensate for the large amount of food that they consume. Most people who are bulimic stay at a normal or above-normal body weight. This is because, when you throw something up, your body has often absorbed many of the calories that the food contains anyway.

How does bulimia using laxatives work? I'm writing a paper for a health class and i'm just not too sure on how the laxatives part works. I know how the vomitting works inside and outside.

How on earth do you break the cycle of bulimia? I'm trying to get into nursing school. I'm taking classes. I'm drowning because I can't take care of myself. I'm relieving my anxiety by bingeing and purging and I can hardly function. My grades are average when I am capable of the highest grades and I'm exhausted mentally physically and emotionally. Bulimia takes so much time and energy and then it just leaves you drained and so I'm asking if anyone knows how to break this cycle...or at least what's the first step...or what do you tell yourself everyday to begin the process of stopping this awful thing. To the fourth answerer...do you honestly think that I am choosing this??? You need to think about what bulimia and any addiction is. Do you the predisposing factors for it are actually perfectionsim and low self-esteem..and actually have nothing to do with intellectual ability. Therefore, one would not CHOOSE this especially when I obviously know the detrimental effects to all parts of me. Get a clue. Do you know how many nurses smoke??? Are you surprised that they would even consider nursing when they smoke??? I think that I will stick with nursing thank you very much. You sound like a B-t-h. Sorry.. but you have it all wrong. I hope that you never have to overcome an addiction. Read up on bulimia so that you can choose to be more informed.

Bulimia??? What has been the best treatment that you have experienced or heard of?

....Bulimia? hey. im 15, 5'7, and weigh around 54 kilos. I'm not obsessed with my weight or anything, but I made myself throw up a few times now. And i don't know why I do it. Im worried because I want to do it again. I dont know why. How do I cope with this?

bulimia????????????????? ok im 15 and im 5'2 and weight 90lbs well it all started from some crap that my ex bf thinks im "fat" which i thought i was fine so i have been throwing up 3 months and throw up twice a day like 4days a week and Anyway.. any information about self-recovery or anything along that line would be great...

Bulimia...? I threw up two times, on purpose, the other day and yesterday...I don't think I'm bulimic... How many times do you have to throw up to be bulimic? And also do you get skinny from being bulimic? Do you get skinny right away? I do eat like a normal person, about 1,500 calories, maybe a little more. I am fat, I am 5"3, 140 pounds, and 15 years old... After I eat, Sometimes I try to make myself throw up, I always just gag and spit, except yesterday I finally succeeded, and I threw up, even though i only threw up a bottle of Gatorade, and today I threw up two cookies, my eyes get all teary after I do that...Does this sound like an eating disorder?

bulimia?????????? i just started throwing up?? and i just threw up right now! im turning 15 soon and i work out all the time im about 135 and i eat alot so to cope with it i throw up after eating i think i need help but i dont kno what to do... please help me!! i am also 5'5
