Is my roommate bulimic?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone, so my roommate and I aren’t very close, but there has been several times where she’s been in the bathroom throwing up. It’s happened sparatically over the past few months. Tonight she had cereal and popcorn and then like 30 min later she went into the bathroom and was throwing up. She gets something in her closet before going into the bathroom and I don't know what it is but this has happened two nights in a row now and yes ik it could be a bug but she’s been going to classes and doesn’t usually throw up during the day. Also she is on depression meds cause I see her pill bottle on her desk. Please help me and what is wrong with her?

She's probably using Syrup of Ipecac which is still available at some pharmacies. It was primarily used if children get a hold of something potentially harmful. It causes you to vomit.

omg wow that’s what one of my friends through too. Is that stuff expensive? and with all her signs do you think she’s definitely making herself vomit?

If that is the case, it is a dangerous thing to do. The singer Karen Carpenter died from using ipecac over an extended period of time. It is toxic to the heart if used too much. It isn't meant for constant use.

I think it isn’t your place to say anything

Yeah she’s bullemic

[Asker]

what do you think she would be getting out of her closet then before she goes to vomit?

Something like a toothbrush to make herself gag? I don’t really know but that’s what I guess
