2. About a year now. i've been saying that since the summer because i'm bad at guessing haha, but i remember it was winter when i first started purging.
3. 1-2 times a day
4. About 8 people all together have found out or i told them, the people that tried to help me were my parents and therapist but nothing is really working.
5. Not any time soon, even though sometimes i just want it to be over. But i'm not ready to stop at the moment.

1. About 12
2. Almost 9 years
3.1-5 times a day
4.All of my friends and family, and they have done everything they can to get me help
5.I Have been trying hard to stop for about 4 years, sadly. I have been hospitalized twice.. most recently in a treatment center for 3 months, seen 4 different therapists, taken medications, etc,etc. the closest i ever came was not purging after i left the rehab center for about a month. i dont know why i find it so unbeleivably hard, even though i think i want to stop, there has to be a part of me that refuses to let it go.

i would seriously seriously recommend... the less amount of time you have been doing this, the easier (yet not at all easy) it will be to have a chance at stopping

5. yes and no. i was recovering fairly well for a while but things have gone to shit again and i don't feel as strong an urge to recover (probably because i haven't gained too much weight yet...)

1. I was 25 years old
2. Bulimic for a year and 3 months now.. I took a break for the summer last year but it got pretty bad when i started dating Colin. He is the most beautiful man I have ever seen and I am terrified to get fat.
3. From once-10-20
4. Colin knows, my friend I lived with in Costa Rica knows, and 1 other i no longer talk to
5. Right now, no. I love it. Which is disgusting. I thought about it seriously the other day, I want to stop eventually.. but for now.. i love it.

2. Not entirely certain. I was diagnosed 4 years ago (for Bulimia- if we're going into ED's in general, then about 10 years ago).

3. Depends on how I'm doing. Sometimes multiple times a day, every day. Sometimes once every month or so.

4. My family, a few of my friends, and past counselors have known. Most of them do the best they can and have "forced" me to go into treatment and/or continue therapy plenty of times. I'm very grateful to a number of people.

5. Honestly, not at the moment. I semi-recently began seeing a therapist again and... I think he could be the most helpful therapist I've ever had if I were willing to change, but I'm not. Not really. I'm back in that "stage" where one feels comfortable with an ED. I've been there countless times and I know that, sooner or later, it'll all come falling down. I just can't seem to care enough right now.

1. About 12

2. In my 10th year now.

3. At least once a day

4. Several people know (friends, my mum). It already helps if they accept me with my ED and I don't have to feel abnormal.

5. Tough one... I am really trying to stop b/p but I guess I do not make any serious plans in giving up the ED
