Try OA: Overeaters anonymous is a 12 step program for people with eating issues. No doctors are involved and there is no charge (just a donation if you can afford that). For more information see www.Oa.Org. They have face to face meetings in many towns, and also have online meetings.

Think about help: An eating disorder is difficult to overcome on your own. You emphasize how there is no doctor but have you thought about checking if there are therapists that can work on a sliding scale or can work towards helping you in a way that is accessible? It is also important for you to know that purging can be dangerous so you should strongly consider getting as much help on your side as you can!
