Q: Bulimia?

I was always thin, hardly ate anything ~ 98-105 and 5'4. Never diagnosed as Ana, but was on blind weight checks daily during a inpatient hospital visit because they suspected. I was like that for as long as I can remember. Then after a while I started really restricting and forced vomiting some time. I got pregnant, began eating normal amounts, went to 115, I was hideous but to everyone else was 'normal'. I began making my self vomit, along with normal morning sickness, and would over eat and vomit and repeat. After delivery I was 120 and went to 130. I kept binging and purging. Now a few years later I either restrict, or eat normal/binge and purge, plus I exercise a lot when I actually have the energy to do so and I use laxatives about once or twice a week. I get dizzy and feel weak often. I have to stop this!! I can not tell anyone about this. I have lost 15 lbs in the past 3 months. I weigh myself frequently and am obsessed with the # on the scale. I still feel I am over weight. 20 BMI, which is 'normal'. So I am not to the point where I am dying or very sick yet. Would this behavior make one moody? Does this sound like an eating disorder? What should I do?

Yes, it does sound like an eating disorder. Quite frankly, it has the characteristics of bulimia. I'm not an expert, but I suggest you see one...and quickly.
