hi, i started puking up some of what i eat about two weeks ago. some days i do it everytime i eat, some days i don't puke at all. the a little over a week ago, i'd puke up blood after a while of purging. now it only takes two pukes to see the blood. whats happening inside of me? did i tear a whole in my stomach or something?

 Hi Ekitty,
I reviewed your previous posts and they suggest that you maybe bulimic?
If this is the case then the blood that you are vomiting could be the first sign of esophageal inflammation or an esophageal tear. It could also be due to a stomach tear.
I strongly advise you to seek immediate medical attention as your situation could be very dangerous.

if i stop purging, will the tear/inflamation heal by itself? i stopped puking for...a week or two, but after that i still saw the blood easily. if it does heal, how long would it take? thanks.

ekitty,
It all depends on the size of the tear or the extent of the inflammation. Please go to your doctor there is no way of telling how serious this is unless you are examined.
Thanks.
