My sister was in and out of the hospital a couple years ago with bulimia. But she was doing good, still alittle skinny but healthier looking, no she is back to her old habits. She eats all the food in the house and then does it while she goes and showers. What should I do, we can't help her because she is 18. How should I try to help her without her going to rehab.

Personnaly I think this is much to severe to get advice from a message board....you will need a dr's help.I feel for you and hope you can find the help that you need.

Im very sorry to hear about your sister, as a slowly recovering bulimic I can tell you how horrible the cycle can be. She needs support and lots of understanding. Bulima is not something you can just say "im totaly cured!"

I would talk to her and tell her how worried you are about her health and saftey. If she doesnt want to tell a parent offer to go to the doctors with her.

I hope she is well, and that she decides to seek the help needed to conquer such an aggressive disorder.
