What eating disorder do i have?

Postby Katieex » Sun May 19, 2013 10:13 pm

Hey, I'd really like some your advice on what eating disorder i have. Heres a little background- my eating disorder first started about two years ago when I was first entering high school and my parents had just divorced. I started excessively exercising and counting calories to the point where i was almost hospitalized for my low weight, i was clearly Anorexic. The only thing that prevented me from either dyeing or being hospitalized was the fact that i started binging, I am partly grateful for that because it saved my life. Since my dangerously low weight i yo-yo between being normal to underweight from my anorexia or binging. Everyone know that Bulimics throw up after a binge but that hasn't worked for me, I've tried but i either get up a little or just gag and it's frustrating. So now i just don't eat for days after a binge. Does this mean i have BED or Bulimia(because i compensate after a binge)? I'm so confused. When I get back up to a normal weight from binging i always become underweight again because i look fat. Am i anorexic/bulimic?, ednos? I know most of you are not clinicians but your feedback will still be helpful. Thank you :cry:

hey hun,
im sorry it sounds like your going through a tough time in your life.

i am where you are. my doctor diagnosed me anorexic, althouh my family thouroghly denies that i am. i do the same thing. dont eat for weeks on end then get so hungry i cave and devour everytig in sight. then i start eeling fat again and stop eating. its a horribly lovely little ycle.

it dosnt matter what you have, but knowing you have a problem is the first step to recovery. you dont have to have a certain diagnoses to get help or talk to other people. you are you and you do what you do. you have other traits both good and bad and thats all that matters dont let a diagnoses become you.
yes im anorexic, but that dosnt define me. im an artist and a songwriter, that defines me.

best of luck in reovery, stay strong little fighter :wink:
