i think i have an ED, but i don
i was doing research on EDs completely unrelated to myself, and then i found that i fit a lot of the criteria for various different EDs.
okay the explanation will go here.
- i have a habit of undereating some days and overeating on others
- yesterday i ate lunch and then ate dinner less than an hour later, and felt so full i was miserable but couldn't stop eating
- the past few days before that, i wasn't eating any lunch, and usually not eating dinner until 8pm to 9pm, so it less counted as dinner and more of as a night snack
- i am very underweight for my age
- i do not purge via vomiting or laxatives, but i will sometimes go long stretches of time eating only one adequate meal, so long that eventually i feel like i can't eat anything and i need to get smoothies from the store to make sure i consume something
i didn't connect the dots for these behaviors until recently and now i'm worried
All eating disorders are going to look the same. There really isn't one mold that fits all. If you feel like you might have an eating disorder or disordered eating in general, please reach out to your doctor.
I'm proud of you for researching and looking up more information :)
