What do I do?

I’m scared!
So… I have been purging multiple times a day for the past few months and tonight I have this weird feeling in my chest. I checked my heart rate 4 times and it’s between 49 and 51. I don’t know what to do because I think this is low. I think I should tell my parents but I’m scared because nobody knows about my eating disorder at all. And it’s almost midnight so maybe I should wait until morning. I am 16 5′3″ and 95 pounds. Someone please give me some advice.

Well, if you are really worried you must tell your parents, there is just no other option other than sitting there scared, and possibly in danger. No one on the internet will be able to diagnose you.

You should see a doctor for a check-up.

Your pulse is totally normal, but if you don’t feel you should really tell your parents and ask them to take you to a doctor.

Heart palpitations are a common side effect of bulimia. If left untreated they can lead to seisures or heart failure.

Tomorrow you need to tell your parents, and you need to see a doctor as soon as you can.

Thanks to the idiot who said stop purging. It’s an addiction, idiot. If she could just stop she would.

Your decreased pulse is your body telling you that something’s wrong. You have to tell your parents, or at the very least go to your school counselor. You’re a beautiful young girl and there are more healthy ways to maintain a healthy, attractive weight. Stay strong, I have a friend who had an eating disorder in high school. Since then, she has beaten it, she eats healthy and smart, she’s beautiful and successful. You can do it too!

If one is purging just because you are trying to lose weight you must stop.
Why? Because your body will start to go wrong, first sins of this is usually blood problems, which affects your heart and chest, then kidneys, lungs and so forth, is a skinny bag of bones worth it?
As an idiot, and a boy what is the use of a bag of bones? You can’t dance with it; you can’t take it out for dinner, and what can one do with a bag of bones on a warm moonlight night with romantic music playing?
Personally, I like something to grab hold of, not something I may brake just by laying on top of.
Girls are supposed to have bumps, that is how god designed them.
