7.Learn About the Illness
Ensure that you conduct research and educate yourself on bulimia. If you know you have bulimia but don’t know what causes it or much about it, you will have a much more difficult time overcoming it than someone who has done research and understands that it is a treatable mental illness and that there is nothing inherently wrong with you for having it.
When it comes to treating your illness, it can be very helpful to have all the facts, and this is where a mental health professional can assist. You can either conduct your own research or begin speaking with a mental health professional about the illness to learn how it functions and why you are experiencing symptoms. In light of the possibility that you may need the assistance of a mental health professional to overcome your bulimia, the latter option is likely the best choice.
