Eating disorders are solely a problem with food.
Wrong. With all eating disorders, weight is the focus of life. By focusing on food, weight and calories, a person is able to block out or numb painful feelings and emotions. Some use food as a way to comfort themselves. Eating disorders are NOT a problem with food. They are in fact only a symptom of underlying problems.
You cannot die from bulimia.
Wrong. Bulimics are at a high risk for dying, especially ifthey are purging, using laxatives and doingexcessive exercise. Many bulimics have diedfrom cardiac arrest which is usually caused bylow potassium or an electrolyte imbalance.Others have died from a ruptured esophagus.Now i'm scared. What if i really am bulimic? AHHHHHHH BUT no. i am NOT. NOT NOT NOT, i am perfectly happy so there. No one can call me bulimic anymore.
