I messed myself up so bad,I been binging and purging like I always do,but this time days later I'm still paying for what I do to myself.For 2 days I havent been able to physically take in food.I think I overstuffed myself so much that I messed up my intestines.I tried to throw up my food after my binge 2 days ago and I could only get up a little bit cause I cut my throat with my nail and coundn't throw up anymore.I have been so dehidrated that I literally couldn't even walk.and this is 2 days after my binge and purge.I think after 10 years of doing this my body is finally had it.and the sad thing is I'm so addicted to food that if I could physically take food .I would have probally binged already today.I need help!!!please help!!!!!!!!!!!!HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

I'm SO sorry you're having such a rough time. And you're right, I'm sure your body is finally trying to tell you something. It's crying out for help, and maybe this is the time you can help it? As far as dehyration goes...I've been there (I'm terrified of liquids) and what I would suggest is to drink gatorade or pedialyte. (it tastes find of gross but they also make popsicles which aren't half bad) They really helped me out, BUT if it gets really scary you should go to a doctor or hospital and get electrolytes pumped in you via an IV. I know how scary it can be but it's very important to listen to what your body tells you, it's calling for help, the question is...are you ready to help it?

p.s. are you currently in counseling/therapy? do you see a nutritionist?
