do i have an eating disorder?
i will go days without eating a full meal, i’ll snack on small things throughout the day but most definitely not enough. i feel like i’m going to throw up if i eat anything. (i have mental health issues and it gets bad when they get bad but sometimes i’ll be fine and this happens)
but about once a month i go on a binge of nonstop eating and feeling super hungry constantly. - i’m 16, my mom told me it’s “because i starve myself”. i’ve tried researching but i can’t find anything on why i’m like this. i love food but my relationship with food is awful, but i want to gain weight. i’m 5’6 feet tall and 110-120 pounds, i was bullied for being underweight and ever since then desperately want to gain weight. i’m just very confused
You would know best as it’s your body but sounds like you have disorderly eating
i am here if you need some to listen to and there is also lots of resources that you can use
@Littlewolfie5 I'm no doctor, so I can't tell you that you have an eating disorder. I don't have knowledge enough to do that.
But I can tell you this: If you starve yourself, you will binge at some point. When I starved the most (I have atypical anorexia) I would binge multiple times a week. But when I upped my calorie intake (I think I actually doubled it in the end) I found that I wouldn't binge at all :)
@Littlewolfie5 This definetly isnt normal. You deserve help! Maybe talk with a psychiatrist? I hope you get better!
