ASAP Answer !!! Laxative/Suppository

I have been addicted to regular laxative pills for abt 2 years now. I wud binge then purge with them. I got sick over the summer after consuming 100 pills in less than a month. I stopped w/ them now, however I only take them after I eat a lot of food cuz of a party or w/e. The only time I took it since the summer was maybe 1 or twice & I only took the rec. 1/2 of them. Not more!Question #1:
Was I too late, or did I do the right thing by stopping now before penetrating s/t worse & causing damage to my body?While I was trying to stop in the summer I would eat a lot of foods very high in fiber to try to fix things up, & I know I still do take a little, but it is very rare, & I'm on the way to quitting altogether. I just want to know if any damage was done, or mayb there was, but my body is working better now?

Plus I exercise on a regular basis, well I just started, bt i'm doing well, plus I eat well too, I eat salads and fruit when I can,. every day really, maybe its bec I'm getting my period this week(which I am)? I just rlly need some answers? Did I totally eff up my body? am I too late? Did I do permanent damage, or will my body heal? Plus, if I go to a checkup & blood test, could they find out about this? Or does the lax/suppos leave the system with the stool, or are there any other hints they can tell?
Plus, my hair has been falling out recently, quite a lot, my hair has been thinning, is this the main cause, or could it be? Lastly, really important, can I lose my period on this? I skipped it for about 2/3 months before, then finally got it last month, now i'm waiting again. Did I destroy my chance to have kids? & Will I have to wear a diaper when I'm older? Or did I not cause that much damage? Please help me & answer my questions, I rlly need this help! PS- Idk if this changes the answers, bt i'm 16 yrs old. Thank you soo much! **Please do not say go to the doctor & consult him, or rehab, or this or that. I know what I am, I am really working hard on getting better. I am, I just have somethings I need to clear up on. So please, I came hear to just get straightforward answers on the causes, the effects, symptoms, & what not. Plus treatments, So please, have a heart, take me into consideration, bec. I have no where else to get information from. Please.***

#2: Starting from August however, I had a little trouble bec. s/t, i would go to the bathroom fine, a little hard, but fine, it really depends on what I eat though, bt I bought those dulcolax suppositories that look like a bullet that you stick...& I took a couple stool softeners cuz it was hard, only for a week, just as a head start, I don't use the suppositories as much, just when I have trouble, However, on average, since August & on, the maximum I use it is mayb once or twice a week. The least is 1 every 1 weeks or so.Is that dangerous, it's not like i'm doing it for life, I'm still exercising & trying to lead a normal lifestyle, & i'm not addicted, it's just if I have a bathroom emergency for backup, Bt these days, & I'm a little terrified, my..uhmm...stool, has dry blood in it, actually it happened a while, bt very little, my folks said its ok, I just need more fiber & fruits, but this morning, I hada lot of pain cuz it wouldn't come out, so I took the suppository, & a lot came out, then I saw the toilet water was purple and realized there is a lot of blood on my stool..didn't look closely, but obviously enough to turn my toilet water a diff color. I just want to know if I am going too far? Or could it be cuz of all the pressure, bec I was in a lot of pain & rlly couldn't go to use the bathroom, thats why I took the suppository, so maybe that was it?
