I'm not sure if I'm a bulimic and I'm feeling really overwhelmed. I've been binging and purging for a while now and it's starting to take a toll on me. I'm feeling ashamed and like I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice or know how I can tell if I'm really bulimic? I'm really scared and would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.
