Please help me--eating disorder?


For the past couple of months, I have been making myself throw up everything I eat. I've started to lose weight, and people have noticed; I went from 125 to 110, which doesn't sound like much, but it's noticeable. (I'm 5'6".) I know that bulimia is defined by periods of bingeing, or eating a lot of food all at once, and then purging it. But I eat small amounts of food and then throw that up.

Please don't lecture--I don't need to be told it's bad--I just need to know: what do I have? Is it bulimia, even though I don't binge? Or is is anorexia with purging?

I need to know what this is so I can get help.

Thanks.

Go to your Dr to get a diagnosis for your problem. Only a qualified physician or therapist can accurately diagnose your disorder and help you define if it's bulimia or anorexia with purging. Taking time to ask for a diagnosis on this forum is not going to aid you in getting you the help you need to overcome the disorder. No health professional would expect you to arrive already having diagnosed your condition. It is possible that depression may play a part - or obsessive compulsive disorder. The final and accurate diagnosis will come from you meeting with and working with a health-care professional (physician or therapist or both).
And I do want to say that the 15 pound weight loss is probably quite noticeable. Fifteen pounds is noticeable on just about anyone. Added to that fact is the fact that you have gone from being slender for your height to being underweight for your height.
Best of luck on getting help quickly and overcoming your disorder.

An eating disorder doesn't have to be confined to one label. It is possible to have a combination of anorexia and bulimia. It's important to remember that these illnesses aren't easily defined (as if you were infected with a particular virus or bacteria) but it basically just describes a set of behaviors.

"I need to know what this is so I can get help." ....You don't need to diagnose yourself before getting help... Go to a counselor or a mental health clinic and talk with someone there. They can diagnose you and help get you the treatment you need.

And you do need to go into treatment. Eating disorders are more than just a willpower thing, and you really should speak with a professional so they can get you back on track.

Kudos for recognizing you have a problem and asking for help! Best of luck, and god bless!

It sounds like you have a combination of anorexia/bulimia. But those are just labels to help define a diagnosis, everyone's behavior varies. Just tell your doctor what you've been doing and they can tell you where to go from there.
Good luck
