Until the age of 14 I was slightly overweight and managed to lose 10 kg. Now I'm 20 and in the past few years I've had my ups and downs when it came to weight. Last August I was feeling depressed and started eating and eating... I was consuming 6000-7000 kcal a day. I'd reach a point where my stomach would hurt from all the food but I kept going. In October I stopped this and started eating healthy again and lost the weight I put on but there were days I would it a lot again (3000-4000 kcal a day), so the day after I would only eat a fruit and some crackers. After Christmas and until March I started eating a lot again and there were a few times that I was feeling so guilty I tried to make myself throw up but I never managed to do it (not because I regreted it, I just couldn't throw up). From March until now I reduced the amount of food I was eating but there are still phases that I binge for a few days and then go back to normal eating again. The good thing is that I don't starve myself after binging anymore and that I have never thrown up on purpose. My question is whether I'm at risk of an eating disorder and what can I do about it?
I weigh 71.4 kg and my height is 1.73m.
