Consult a doctor immediatly. For further queries you need to be evaluated. take more water than solid food.Decrease the intake of fat.That might help but not the remedy for a doc’s consultation.

Answer by I <3 My Wierd Life
yes you have a serious eating disorder its binging (binge whatever) and it can be just as bad as anorexia or bulimia its just the opposite, you need to see a doctor or talk to your parents or an aunt or a teacher or something because if you don’t you could die at a young age

i knew someone who binged till about 35 and tried to stop but died at 40

Answer by wireman1979
You need to call the local mental health facility as soon as possible. There are professionals there who can help you and will not judge you in any way. They can direct you to either a treatment facility, a program, or work with you directly. Please don’t give up…life must seem pretty bleak right now…but remember…whatever happened yesterday is passed and we cannot change it…we can only change what we do today and look forward towards tomorrow. I know many people who have faced similar issues as you are facing now…they found help and reached out for that help with both hands…and they are alive and functioning members of society and enjoying life now. It isn’t hopeless. Please make that phone call…there are people who care.

Question by Kelsey: what is a psychiatric clinic?

Best answer:

Answer by Yorkie
Psychiatric hospitals, also known as mental hospitals, are hospitals specializing in the treatment of serious mental disorders. Some hospitals may specialise only in short-term or outpatient therapy for low-risk patients. Others may specialise in the temporary or permanent care of residents who, as a result of a psychological disorder, require routine assistance, treatment, or a specialised and controlled environment. Patients are often admitted on a voluntary basis, but involuntary commitment is practiced when an individual may pose a significant danger to themselves or others.

Answer by Phil
Often times Psychiatric Clinics are established for short-stay, medication adjustments, and just basic support for such things as temporary crisis situations.
