Hi. I have had binge eating disorder for about five years now, but there is omething that I have been holding back. About 5 months ago I started to make myself sick. I did it for about a month or two and then started to just binge again. But today I just made myself sick again. The most horrible part about this is that I feel proud about it. I have told my friend and she thinks I have some form of OSFED because I switch between Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia. I just dont know.

It's certainly important to be honest with ourselves about what's going on. What I would say is that, we have to remember that disordered eating is generally a lifelong issue and it's a good idea to maintain treatment, at least until significant remission has been established. I would avoid trying to self-diagnose or have your friends diagnose you... Rather, go back into therapy or speak with your diagnosing care provider. There are many different kinds of purging behaviors and without knowing all of your habits, it's hard to know what condition we may be dealing with... Generally speaking, binge with purge cycles is bulimia, not simply binge eating. Bulimic purges can be constant or they can go in behavioral waves.
