I feel your pain, I'm on medecine for depression, I cut and burn, and I'm in councelling. I'm bulemic too, but I've only been for a month and a half. I'm not getting better, but I do have some advice I can give you. If you enjoy exercise try exercising after you eat. Then you won't feel like you have to throw up everything you eat. The only meal I keep down is the energy bar I eat before I run. I know it's not healthy to exercise after every meal, but if it keeps the food in your stomach it's better than nothing.

Good luck! With time we can both beat this. God Bless,

You go girl, I believe in you! Now if only I could do the same. I ate "regular" meals today and threw up four or five times...I'm gonna do better tomorrow though, honest! Think of/pray for me, I'm going to a family first communion party tomorrow, they'll expect me to eat...I'm worrying already. Enough about me, great for you! Let me know how it goes.
