You don't need to tell anybody what it feels like being depressed. It cannot be explained by logical arguments. Your illness is just an illness that can be treated physiologically. Please read:
Eating Disorders: Anorexia and Bulimia

and discuss wit a counselor or a nutritional doctor.

This person is desperate and you tell them "You can't explain yourself, but talk to a mental health professional." That's contradictory as hell, you don't have all the answers.

Trying to talk to somebody with anorexia or a eating disorders cannot be resolved by talk therapy. That's all it means. You need to understand what causes a perosn to have an eating disorder.

Oh really? I need to huh? I have Bulimia and I have a pretty good understanding of how it works one person to the next. You ultimately suggested therapy didn't you? I don't think physical therapy or medication is at the top of the list for a disorder like Bulimia. You're just pushing this hypoglycemia thing. Don't get confused I have nothing against your beliefs or spreading awareness of whatever but you're approaching this so blindly it's disgusting.

If you have a pretty good understanding how it works you should be able to treat it. So please help people here instead of trying to play games with me .
