Do I have eating disorder?

I started to do the intermittent fasting diet last year, in a bit altered way. Now I usually eat one meal a day, but sometimes I skip that one too. I often faint, sometimes multiple times a day, but that was an issue before as well, and honestly I'm not bothered by any of it, because I just want to lose weight. My current bmi is 16.8, so I'm already considered 'underweight', but I feel like I have to lose more. When I'm out with my friends and I eat with them, I feel so guilty afterwards that I usually starve myself for days. I do feel like it's not right nor healthy, but I'm still doing it. Do I have eating disorder?

@chocolatewannabe If you sometimes faint, then it's a disorder.

If your eating depends on your feelings, like feeling like you have to lose more, or feeling guilty, then it's a disorder.

If you starve yourself, no matter what the length of time is, then it's a disorder.

Your doctor will know how to get you help.
