Dear georgia denis,
There is a lot of support and help out there for you. You have to take the first step.
What you could do immediately is look into a 12-step program like overeaters anonymous (specific for bulimia) and/or narcotics anonymous. These meetings of hope are everywhere through-out every day. Call or go online now to find the meeting closest to you. If you choose, you could go to these free meetings daily to get support and learn ways of coping.
You could also call your previous treatment team to get some direction. Or call your insurance carrier’s intake department and ask for providers to support your needs.
You could also visit the bella vita website for more information on bulimia.
Best,
Dr. Patricia Pitts

you need to speak to doctors about this in person. Because without intensive therapy I don't think your going to be able to f ind your way.
