Help me! I dont know if I have an eating disorder!

I had mild anorexia when I was younger, I think it has come back, but worse...

I wouldnt say that I was obese, but I do hate my body more then anything else. I worry constantly about my weight. Its not really about what other people think and being normal, but more to do with what I think about myself.

I usually eat about 300-400 calories a day, and if I eat more than that I make myslf sick. I've lost a stone in two weeks. Its a bit like binging&purging, just without the bingeing part... I have been on my "diet" for a month now.

I dont want to stop, cause I love the feeling of control this gives me. I just want to know whats going on.

Do a have an eating disorder??

I would say yes, this sounds like an eating disorder to me.
I'm not a doctor though.
300-400 calories a day is not enough for your body to do normal functions.
If you keep this up, your body is going to slowly start to shut itself down.
Please look into getting psychiatric help.
Good luck!

Yes you definelty have an eating disorder but if you seek professional help ASAP you have good chance of getting cured. Don't let it take over your life.

Thanks

Thanks for your advice guys, its good to know what other people think

I dont think I'll be getting professional help though, because I am telling NO-ONE about this. Ever. Besides I dont really think I need it. After posting this, I realised how sick doing this to myself was, and I've managed to stop purging.

Thanks again.
