OK.. It's good that you know that you did a stupid thing, but don't make it worse, GO AND TALK TO YOUR TREATING PHYSICIAN WITHOUT DELAY. Your treating dotor is best familiar with your problem so you should only follow the treatement he/she advises.
And a word of advice...don't endanger yourself to appear "cool" in front of your peers, because definately, nobody appars quite so "cool" at sick-bed, or worse, death-bed. Think of your family how much they must be suffering to give you a good, healthy life. do not punish them, because if you get really ill they will be the ones who would have to take care of you, and not your "friend" so much. And if you are a good friend to her, then convince her to give up her detrimental habits, & if you can't stand up to peer pressure, then distant yourself from such "friends". Honestly, a "Straight-Edge" life style is much more healthy and enjoyable... follow that.
