For a proper name some call it 'anorexia binge-purge subtype'.
It is possible that she is both anorexic and bulimic.
Who becomes bulimic? Ha. Bulimia is an illness and it comes to people without reason. I'm bulimic and 'anorexic' I don't aggree with the doctor on anorexic as I'm fat, hence why I purge after I eat. It's a horrible illness
A therapist and doctor who specialize in eating disorders is the best way to get help for an anorexic or bulimic person. Your local telephone directory can help you to find treatment centers.
Anorexia and bulimia are very serious eating disorders. People who are anorexic or bulimic can lose as much or as little weight possible. Some people can be 10 pounds underweight, some can be 40 pounds underweight. If you know someone who is anorexic or bulimic tell them that you are worried about them and strongly encourage them to get professional help.
You can read books about over coming being anorexic or bulimic without your parents knowing. You can also join forums online to talk to other kids who have gone through the same thing you are going through.
They can be bulimic but not anorexic. Actually, a person can certainly be mentally anorexic regardless of their weight. I believe that weight or BMI should not be so important when diagnosing anorexia. Anyone can be psychologically anorexic.
Bulimic is the word :) happy associating!
If you are anorexic or bulimic, people feel sorry for you, but if you are a compulsive overeater, they sneer and call you a glutton.
Bulimia and anorexia are both considered eating disorders. And unless the bulimic/anorexic is extremely fragile, it may be possible for them to be a donor without real harm to themselves. But the best person to ask for advice on this is a doctor, presumably the doctor that is going to do the transfer of bone marrow.
Roughly 1 in every 250 teens are predicted to be anorexic. About 2% of teens are bulimic. (Note - Throwing up forcefully even once can qualify a person as bulimic.)
Go get help. It doesn't matter if you are anorexic or bulimic, but you do need help. Go see a doctor.
You can increase unhealthy risks by a lot, you can become depressed, you can become ill, and if it's really bad you can die.
