Bulimia!!!!!!!!?

Please will someone give me some advice about bullimia? what starts it and what can it do to the body? serious answers please and as much info as u have got.

it doesn't just start. and often it is not a conscious decision, either. but usually it stems from low self esteem. and then things take off from there - it gets out of control and one is unable to stop it. it's an addiction just like anorexia, alcohol abuse and ocd - one just cannot stop. the treatment of it really varies, but the best sucess is within a treatment facility with staff who really get it and not only treat the symptoms but the reasons behind the lack of self esteem, etc.

it ruins the body. acne, period issues, bone damage, esophagus can rupture, fertility issues, headaches, potassium depletion (can lead to heart attacks and permanent damage), you lose friends, can't concentrate at school, bones suffer because of lack of nutrition. and probably another 1000 things.

Check out the website below. It has all kind of information about the causes, symptoms and treatment. Hope this helps!

To completely answer your question in detail would take be to long for this answer area. But the cause is more psychological in about 5% of females. It is the decease of eating then throwing up after one is finished eating. It will cause damage to the throat, esophagus, and stomach, and lead to bodies vitamin deficiency and even death.
