Eating Disorders Forum - EDNOS symptoms ?

I think I have EDNOS. I say "think" because I have never been actually diagnosed with it, but I have always been a VERY picky eater, and ever since I was little my parents (and others) have told me, "You don't eat enough to keep a bird alive." I eat mostly (I'd say 99.8%) carbs (pastas, potatoes, etc)...although I don't really like bread. I will (VERY rarely) eat fruit. I like bananas, grapes, and strawberries, watermelon, and (some) cantaloupe - although like I said, I hardly ever eat the fruit. Oh, and I really like chicken... although I still eat mostly carbs. Oh... and I am a choc-o-holic Smile

I could eat nothing but pasta and chocolate for the rest of my life and be happy.

But most of the time, I can eat a few bites, and feel full. Sometimes it even gets to the point where I get VERY nauseous and I feel like if I put another bite of food in my mouth I will throw up. I even get a (sometimes very severe) gagging sensation in the back of my throat. Sometimes it gets to the point where I wish I could throw up, just to make the feeling go away.

I am young (22) but feel quite old at times, have no energy (I have been known to sleep upwards of 20 a day), I have constant headaches (to the point where I feel strange if I DON'T have one)

But part of me thinks I don't have an ED because I know I am not fat... in fact, I know that I am underweight (or at least could stand to gain a few more pounds). And contrary to what people with EDs feel, I am not obsessed with staying thin or not getting fat. I mean, I don't necessarily want to be huge, but who does? I guess what I am trying to say is I don't think I think I have the body image issues normally associated with EDs.

Does any of this make sense to anyone or are I just rambling???
