I think I’m bulimic but I’m not sure. I’ve only thrown up food twice and usually use laxatives. I’ve heard some people say it’s not bulimia unless you binge and throw it up. I don’t binge and I use laxatives so I’m not sure. What’s going on.

@kindatired222, Maybe you could check out with your doctor about using laxatives. Most medicines have certain minerals in them however when a person over use medicines , these minerals could accumulate and might end up effecting certain parts of the body like the liver and kidney.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling. Eating disorders are very different and have many different attributes. If you feel that this is becoming unhealthy and is affecting you, reaching out to someone you trust or a professional such as a doctor could really be beneficial. I hope things look up and this community is always here for you.
