I had a eating disorder (Bulimia) I think 2 or 3 years ago. What are my health risk?

2 or 3 years ago I suffered a kind of eating disorder. I think it was Bulmia? I threw up every meal and didn't eat much and I lost weight rapidly. My body started to kind of reject foods so I kind of ate like a cat. I was wondering if that was damaging my body and would I get health problems? If so what?

*My mum caught me & told me to stop or else I'll die.* That same year my friend passed away* I was fat and all in my mind I wanted to be skinny* Would I be dead by now if I hadn't stopped?*

What you had sounds more like anorexia than bulimia. I wouldn't trust me on that but i think its right.

Health risks of anorexia are: Brittle bones, Infertility, low hormone levels.

Health risks of Bulimia are: rotten teeth, gums and throat; stomach problem and heart problems.

The level of your health problems will depend on how long you had the eating disorder. I haven't named every health risk as i can't remember them all.

Simply it will kill you. That's is about it. It may sound harsh but you need the nutrients from your food to live. Also when you vomit the acids in your stomach will rot your teeth, and if your single that wont be a good thing that guys would like. So try to stop for your life's sake
