The facts:

  • It is a symptom of a deeper disease. There are other symptoms. These can include addictions, self harm and depression. They sometimes show themselves, and sometimes they lie dormant for years.
  • It may not have a lot to do with weight. The bingeing and purging are simply means of expressing anxiety, and are just one of a host of other factors.
  • It is not your fault. You would not blame someone for being diabetic. No one can blame you for being bulimic.
  • It is not simply about purging. Some bulimics never purge in their lives.
  • It is something that is deeply coded into you it is part of your nature. There are strong indicators that this is at least in part genetic. It is not your fault or your choice.
  • 59% of bulimics binge drink
  • 60% of bulimics are in the top 20% of their academic group
  • 55% have cut themselves intentionally
