Get help for Bulimia: Your hair will be damaged or lost as long as you continue with your bulimia. This is an eating disorder that needs help from psychiatrists and psychotherapists who specialize in working with people who suffer in this way. Please see your doctor to check on your overall health, and get referrals for treatment. Untreated bulimia can kill you, but it's also possible to recover.

Your hair is : Protesting and trying to get you to stop purging. Reach out to a therapist and get help. Bulimia is a dangerous disease that can be fatal and can cause irreversible damage. Please take care of yourself.
