Yes i have cut the back of my throat with my nails. You may want to cut them so it doesnt happen again.

As far as getting help though, maybe you have not found the right therapist for you. You also may want to check into seeing a doctor he may have some suggestions.

if you want to get better, you will, but it takes a lot of time. it takes an average of seven years to recover, so dont be hard on yourself because it hasnt happened over night.

My prayers are with you

No, i have never cut my throat with my nails while purging. Mostly, because, my nails don't exist. Since my eating disorders started, I lost my nails. They are brittle and hard to grow out.

Like melissa said, it is not an overnight process. Do you have a support team, a group of people who can help you when things get rough? And, also, having and finding the right therapist for you is a huge step. Don't give up, that's the most important thing. Set little goals for yourself, and when you achieve them, feel proud of yourself. For instance, say you have been purging 3 xs a day, try to cut it down to 2, and then reward yourself for that. Be proud of that, because it is a HUGE step.

This doesn't happen over night, but it happens with small steps. And it does get easier. Most days it seems to drag on forever and ever, but then you look back at how far you have come. Believe in yourself, hon, you can do this. You can make a brand new life for yourself...even after 10 years of making yourself sick. You deserve a life without bulimia and eating disorders and preoccupations with food! You do! And you can do it! I believe in you!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

NEVER GIVE UP

I'm glad I'm not weird because I thought that that only happened to me. It only happened once though when i was bulimic i cut my throat with my nail and then blood came and i remembered my friend telling me a story of how someone threw up blood when they were buimic so i was so scared cuz i thought that happened to me.
