Eating disorders: Eating disorders may be difficult to manage on you on. Having a supportive family and friends is helpful. Nevertheless, it is critical that you seek professional help from your physician for an overall physical evaluation and for further referral to a specialist who deals with eating disorders.

Get Help!: I am so sorry you are having such struggles with your self image. You must be feeling so out of control with your behavior and your body. Chronic laxative use in the context of disordered eating is very dangerous for you! Electrolyte imbalances are serious and can be actually fatal. Please get immediate help at your nearest primary care doc in conjunction with mental health care. Don't delay!
