A member asked:

I'm kind of becoming bulimic and putting my fingers down my throat isn't working more. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Keep asking for help: You have some awareness that this isn't something that you want to do. You are going down a very dangerous slippery slope. Get help from a therapist and or a support group for bulimics. Best wishes.
