This cycle can interfere with life and be very difficult to break and the person can start to feel less and less in control.Â
Although bulimia might seem to be caused by preoccupations with food and weight, it can also be driven by things like low confidence and poor self-esteem or a need to feel in control in your life if you are going through a very stressful or tough time.Â
Because many people with bulimia maintain a normal body weight, the disorder can go untreated unless a person seeks help.Â
Bulimia is not harmless and can cause numerous physical and mental health issues. If you are experiencing bulimia, it’s important to seek help as soon as you can.
