I need help
I think I'm beginning to develop an eating disorder, recently I've been starving myself or eating minimal calories-no more than 500. If I do eat I exercise to burn off the calories.
I chew and spit food out so I have the taste but I don't actually have to swallow it, eating just makes me feel so guilty.
I'm dropping around about a pound a day, is that bad? I don't know, all I know is that I'm depressed and that right now the only thing I can control is food.
I also record everything I eat, how much weight I've lost etc in a diary, I weigh myself every day. I take freezing cold showers because apparently it helps you burn off calories..
Does this sound like an eating disorder? No one will help me.

It does sound like an eating disorder. You should only lose up to 2 pounds a week as healthy weight loss, so a pound a day isn't healthy. Adult females should have a minimum of 1500 calories a day or 1200 if you're on a diet. You might want to take a look at this guide. I hope you get the help you need soon!
