At risk for an eating disorder?

Question:

I've suffered from depression since childhood, have been cutting myself for a while as well. I thought that was bad enough, but recently I've been taking up the practice of throwing up my dinner. I just get so disgusted with myself that it has to come out. This is something I really don't want or need to be doing. I know of all the health risks and that such, but most of the time (At least when I'm purging) I just don't care.
Have I tried therapy? Yes. I hated that arrogant, pedantic little doctor and I really don't want to meet another one. I honestly think I"m too scared to try another doctor, because I really don't want to be told what to do and how screwed up I am. (Well, one was of a mind to tell me how ridiculous he thought I was. Few doctors will even listen to you if you're borderline.)
So, I don't really want to see a therapist, and I doubt anyone can convince me to, but I need to kick this bulimic habit before it become a problem, and alone. Suggestions PLEASE.

Answers:
I'm sorry that you are having so many problems. But seriously, you cannot do this on your own. I'm not sure where you live, but try to find some resources in your area that can help you find a good counseling center. That will be the only solution for you I am afraid. There is some underlying issues that you have that is causing your depression, cutting and bulimic disorder. You will not be able to recover until you figure out what the underlying problem is and treat it. Best of luck to you. I wish I could offer a concrete way for you to stop throwing up, but I really don't think you can do it on your own. I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience with that therapist, but really, they aren't all so horrible, there are many different methods of counseling and there is one out there that works for you. Or try to find an eating disorders clinic, they often have a range of counselors that can recognize and help you with any other issues you are dealing with.
