I told the truth, I am bulimic

I have never been good at dealing With stress, since I was 8 years old I have binged and purged when I wanted control. 
I'm now 17 and 2 days ago I collapsed because I ate so much and it made me realise I needed help. I told my parents and they took me straight to the doctor. 
I'm going to take seeing a therapist and going to take some medication to prevent me from binging. 
I could do with some positivity, so if u have suffered with an eating disorder and have any advice then I'd love it if u commented. 
Thank u x
