Panda,
I'm sorry you are feeling so helpless and down right now. It sounds like you have a lot of questions, which must be scary to not have answers. Hopefully as you continue to work with your pdoc and/or T, you will learn more about how your diagnosis affects you.Regarding drinking and making yourself try to vomit. I think these are just two ways you are trying to cope with what's going on. It doesn't mean that you are becoming an alcoholic or developing an eating disorder. I have found recently that I have been using wine and food as comfort and coping measures. I also use money. Shopping therapy. That one's not so bad for my body, but not good for the budget. When I am doing better, I use yoga, meditation, and pampering myself. So we all have a repertoire of healthy and not so healthy coping mechanisms.
Good luck. We're all here for you.
