Hi Ashley, I'm new to this forum too! What a pity your doctor didn't take you seriously> You were really extremely brave to go to the doctor and seek help. I haven't been able to tell my doc I have Bulimia. I have damagd vocal chords/throat as you will see on forum. I have been reading about the potential and real dangers of this terrible eating disorder and I have not purged since. I hope I can keep going like this!It won't be easy..... I hope you are also aware of the damage that can be done. It's just not worth it! I hope you can find someone to confide in who can help you. We all need support and help without exception. Perhaps you will go to another doctor for help? Please take care.

Hey, It takes a lot of courage to open up to others, bulimia is a touchy subject perhaps your co-workers don't want to over step any boundaries, nevertheless kudos to you! for being open and asking for help because that is always the first step forward.

I recommend you to read this thread about food and how it can't hurt you.

Good Luck to you!!!

I'm sorry that you are struggling so much right now. I'm guessing that because you went to see a doctor you understand that there are many physical complications to this illness as well as psychological. I think that it was incredibly courageous of you to admit the truth to someone and seek help.

Some people may not know how to respond to finding out a friend of theirs has an eating disorder, and that may be why they have been avoiding the subject. Have you tried bringing the subject back up? I hope that you can find someone to talk to about this and that you can find help. It may be a good idea to try to find a counselor to help with this. I hope that things go well for you.
