Confused about ED
Idk if I have ed or not. Like till 12 I am in school so I don’t eat anything. And in the morning while preparing myself or school there is barely time to eat so I drink milk and after I come home I get into fights usually and skip meals and sleep and then I eat something in the evening. I have become so used to starving myself lol

Hey, there is not a clear answer to whether you have ED or not. It depends on many factors, for example, your self-image or whether you are actively trying to diet. Based on your description, it seems to me like you do not have ED but unhealthy eating behaviors. However, even if it is not ED it does not mean it does not require attention. It is worth noting that when you do not eat much and regularly your body gets used to this and you can start to feel less and less hungry and more feelings of fullness just after a bit of food because your stomach shrinks. This means that if you start to eat more often and you will try to be consistent with mealtime every day this can help you stimulate hunger again.
I would recommend you to be more conscious about your eating habits because I have also been eating very little and it caused me health problems. I did have to set alarms to remind myself to eat (even in the absence of hunger) and I started to get on weight and feel hunger again. It saved me from more adverse health consequences.
Hope my answer helped. Take care :)
