Yes. Bulemia kills.: You"ve got an eating disorder. The blood in your stool is the smaller consideration here. Please consider getting help. Especially ay your age, you can do permanent and severe damage to your body with laxatives, purgatives and with binge and purge eating habits. Please consider a treatment program for bulemia and eating disorders. Your doctor can refer you, or better yet, go to emergency dept.
