Bulimia?
Hi everyone! Im new here. I was talking with my girlfriend the other day, and she thinks I might have bulimia. We spent an entire week together and she saw/noticed how I act around food. I have this process of binging/restricting, and my weight fluctuates around [edited by 24Help1 5/24/20 for weights] pounds but I can easily drop [edited by 24Help1 5/24/20 for weights] pounds in a week with just restricting and not eating. Ive purged before, but its not something I do regularly. How can I tell if its bulimia or not, and if I should get it checked out? My girlfriend is a psychology major (were in college), and shes had anorexia before. Please let me know! Anything is appreciated!

Hello Pat. I am a therapist here. I would suggest getting it checked out if you are noticing rapid weight change week to week. My other question would be the motivation for the behaviors. Are you able to stop and eat more balanced meals? If not, then you might consider getting some help from your doctor or a therapist. Let me know if you have any other questions. You can just respond to this thread and I will see it.
