Last year, after two incredibly secretive years of bulimia at boarding school, I had a seizure as a result of serious dehydration/laxitive abuse/purging 5 or more times a day/and
eating nothing but
binge food. I was so terrified by the seizure (I was locked in a bathroom by myself and I hit my head on the tile sink....if would have been a long time before anyone found me if I hadn't woken up) that I confessed my bulimia to my mother, school nurse, and dorm counselor. It was such a relief.
