cool..i think yoga actually helps..i duno but it all depends on the person...i have been and still am...howver, i think psychiatrists, therapists or whoever doctors will not help in my case..i duno..it all depends on whether u get a good one..sup[port from friends n family is very important..and their help is always needed..
though i feel that its quite impossible to recover copmpletely from an ed..it kinda stays with u..recover but its difficult not to relapse..i be;lieve that those who claimed to have recovered still have times of relapse..but it is ok..so dun be too hard on urself:D

I can only say i struggled with it for years. Im 19 now and have always been told im fat, ugly, and alot of that kind of stuff. I was 12 and me and my brother argued alot. Well, at 12 i was 5-4 and about 140 and a size 9. well i thought i was fat so i went through anorexia and bulimia. I wouldnt eat for days sometimes weeks,and other times i wouldnt let anything stay down. I became 104 pounds at age 13 and very unhealthy. I was so afraid of gaining a pound i took it to extremes. I have struggled with that alot. Im now 19 and have come to the conclusion as long as i am healthy it dont matter what size of jeans i wear. I will always be perfect. It took several years to stop getting sick and staying sick. but eat healthy and you will see the true meaning of your self with out bulimia.

I am a registered dietitian with my masters in counseling/rehab counseling. I am 44 yrs old and have experience with it since I was 12. I can say thankfully that I have had intensive psychotherapy 2x which each lasted 7yrs each. I relapsed once. My rec. are 1. Make sure that you get a therapist that you can talk to. 2. You need support. Depending on whether you're family is truly supportive- find someone you can be truly yourself. 3. Don't waste time playing games- I made sure that suicide was not an option. Don't think it didn't come to my mind several hundreds of times. 4. Do the work it takes to get to the other side. (thankfully, I survived 20 yrs and 5 hospitalizations) 5. Be gentle on yourself. It is not about what you think you have to be - perfect. It is about who you are in your heart. If you want to talk- I would love to talk to you. With all my education, I thought I had it licked-but was I ever surprised!

Bulimia is a symptom of a more engrained disorder. You cannot cut down a tree by cutting off its branches, you have to go for its trunk and its root. Sometimes we only cut branches, sometimes we cut off the trunk, but if you don't take out the roots, the tree always grows back.
The obvious suggestion is to go see a therapist. However, that alone will not do it. It is important to seek outside support, bulimia groups and family support are important. If family is not an option, seek friends. The more shame you have, the more you will hide it and feed into the disease. It is important to accept it and find others who will accept you for it, so that eventually with their support and your own persistence you can overcome it.
