Thanks for your concern, but it hasnt' happened since them. I know i need help though. i'm getting pale, my skin is dry and i'm dehydrated.. the thing is i can't go to a treatment center until summer, because i'm in high school and can't miss that much time, or they'll hold me back a year. Have you ever thrown up blood? the three things you mentioned that happens from throwing up blood, or from eds in general?

Honey, what is happening to you is that you are probably about to have an esopical hemmorage.  My therapist told me once that 3 things can happen to you. She said out of the 3 she has treated 2 of them. 1 brain damage, 2 heart problems, and 3 the one she has never treated because usually when this one happens you bleed to death, and that one is esopical hemmorage. There are so many things that go wrong.  That's just 3 of them.  You need to get into an eating disorder clinic, go to your doctor, HONEY, you have got to get help. Blood indicated a very advanced disorder.  It's not good. GET HELP!!!!!!

Everyone keeps telling me that i have to eat, even though i'm not hungry. So i do, nad then i need to get rid of it right away. I've been loosing weight, about 10lbs this month, so they put me on exercise restriction, and it's driving me crazy. The only way i'm alowed off is if i can maintain my weight for 2 weeks, so i need help!
