Understand that self-help alone may not be enough to overcome the desire to purge. Professional help, in combination with the other methods listed here, is the most beneficial way to overcome this condition. A professional can help you to create a plan tailored to your specific needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective therapy modality for reducing purging behaviors. CBT is about changing your thoughts in order to change your feelings (anxiety, guilty, worry, depression) and behaviors (purging). . A therapist can help you understand that purging is not the solution to resolve weight problems nor the right coping mechanism to deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, hopelessness and low self-esteem. Therapists are typically non-judgmental and safe individuals to confide in regarding your purging behaviors. You can look up a therapist that specializes in eating disorders online, or you can talk to a family member or trusted doctor who can help you to find someone that will fit your needs best. Your treatment does not necessarily need to consist of only one therapist. Many people who experience an eating disorder actually work with multiple professionals to help create a meal schedule and plan of action that works. These professionals can include: Physicians, counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists/therapists, and nutritionists (dietitians). There are different medications, including antidepressants, that have been shown to reduce symptoms of binging and purging. However, medication is typically not enough to treat purging behaviors. The best treatment is usually a combination of medication and therapy.  Consult with your medical doctor to get a referral to a psychiatrist in your area. Or, you can contact your insurance company or conduct an online search for low-cost mental health clinics in your area. While, medical doctors (MDs, general practitioners) can typically prescribe medications for mental health concerns, psychiatrists are specifically trained in mental health disorders and specialize in these types of medications.

Q: There may be a plastic sheath that fits around the top nozzle on your oxygen tank. Before you can attach the regulator to the tank, you'll have to remove it. Usually, you can simply slide the piece off or you may have to peel it away from the nozzle. The regulator will look like a cylindrical component with a gauge on it that reads the oxygen pressure. Inside of the regulator, there are two pins that will line up with the top nozzle on your tank. Position the regulator over the top valve of the tank and line up the pins to fit into the holes in your regulator. Twist the lever clockwise on the tank to tighten it around the valve. As you twist the lever, you should begin to feel it tightening around the oxygen tank. Continue twisting until the regulator is tight and the lever doesn't turn anymore. Find the small nozzle on the bottom of your regulator. This nozzle is where the air travels and you'll have to attach plastic tubing to it. Line the tubing up with the nozzle and firmly press up so that the tubing fits snugly around the regulator nozzle.
A: Slide the plastic covering off of the top valve on your tank. Line up the regulator with the top valve on the tank. Tighten the regulator around the nozzle. Attach the tubing to the nozzle on the bottom of your regulator.

Problem: Article: Boil 2 cups (475 milliliters) of water with 3 tablespoons (26 grams) of washing soda. Remove the water from heat, add the leaves, and let them soak for 20 to 30 minutes. Once they are done soaking, scrape the pulp off like your normally would.  This process is similar to the method above, except that you are not cooking the leaves continuously. This method is ideal for small batches or delicate leaves. This will take about 2 to 3 weeks; you will also need to change the water every few days to keep it from going rancid. You can add some bleach to further prevent decay. Once the leaves are soaked, scrape the pulp off using a soft toothbrush. If you are adding bleach, plan on using a 1:30 bleach-to-water ratio. Combine 2 cups (475 milliliters) of water with 4 ounces (113 grams) of a biological detergent. Add the leaves, then boil everything for 30 minutes. Rinse the leaves off, then scrape them clean with a soft toothbrush. Press the leaves between two sheets of blotting paper for 2 weeks.
