Verny please don't do it :( I know it's hard and so very tempting, especially when you feel so low but you have to fight it!!
I've been bulimic since I was 13, I'm now nearly 18 and have corroded the valve at the top of my stomach (the one that closes after you've eaten to stop stomach acid from getting out), everytime I bend over I get a mouthful of stomach acid, i can't sleep at night because it's so painful :( I'm lucky its not so bad at the moment. It can get to the point where the acid wears away your throat lining so you can't swallow or talk. It very painful hun :(
Theres also the teeth problems, it ruins them. at first they'll be fine and you wont notice and thats where a lot of people think they've got away with it. But nobody gets away with it, in the end it'll happen. there'll be the countless fillings and then you'll have to have them out and it increases your chances of gum disease :(
The strain from throwing up can make you pass out and in some cases have a brain hemmorage which could kill you.
I once passed out and hit my head on the toilet, I had a black eye for weeks :-/ once you start it's so hard to stop.
Be strong and fight it :) you can do it x
