Bulimia Nervosa: Signs, Symptoms, and What to Look For

There is no one "look" for someone with bulimia. People with bulimia come in all shapes and sizes, and it can be difficult to tell if someone is struggling with the disorder. Some common signs and symptoms of bulimia include:

* Fluctuations in weight

* Frequent trips to the bathroom, especially after meals

* Evidence of purging, such as vomit or laxatives in the trash can

* Dental problems, such as cavities or erosion of the enamel

* Sores or calluses on the knuckles or fingers from induced vomiting

* Fatigue

* Weakness

* Dizziness

* Menstrual irregularities

* Depression

* Anxiety

* Mood swings

It is important to remember that not everyone who has these symptoms is necessarily struggling with bulimia. However, if you are concerned that someone you know may be struggling with an eating disorder, it is important to talk to them about it and encourage them to seek professional help.
