Nicole asked:


I’m sort of lost right now.
I’ve been doing research on eating disorders, and I feel like I don’t fit either anorexia or bulimia.

I eat well under 1000 calories a day, but I throw up after “binges”
I thought I was binging until I read the amount of food that true bulimics eat before purging.
I only eat like 500 max calories during a binge.

I wind up throwing up pretty much any food that I eat, whether it’s 50 calories or 500.

I feel even more alone now that I can’t even determine which eating disorder I have.

Is there any eating disorder name for what I’m going through?

Mark A asked:


I want to get better and gain weight, but I really don’t know how to go about it.
I want to do this on my own, I am certainly underweight but I am not thin enough to require medical treatment or hospitalization.
How did you start eating again? What and how much did you eat at first?
Also, what weight should I go up to? (I am 5″8) I want to be healthy but slim…I think it would trigger me back to being eating disordered if I gained too much.
I suffer from periods of bulimia as well, so I have to be careful I don’t trigger binges.

adorelo asked:


I have an eating disorder. Specifically Anorexia Nervosa, with some Bulimic tendencies.

If I were to be formally diagnosed, would this affect my ability to work with children, as a nurse, in the UK? I’ve read that diagnosis of an ED (which is a mental illness) can prevent a person from working with children.

If anyone has any information, I’d greatly appreciate it.
ETA: Medical records aren’t private within the public sector. Think about it, would a schizophrenic with violent tendencies be allowed to work on a children’s ward?

And my ED is not about being fat, it something stemming from my childhood. I’m dealing with it.

Terra asked:


I was disappointed that my psychology book, published last year, didn’t mention COE/BED. Instead it stuck with the stereotypical anorexia/bulimia route and had the classic picture of some emaciated girl pushing food away. Why is this? I mean, the two disorders I listed are gaining more and more credibility, yet they’re not being included in the “About Eating Disorders” section of textbooks.

CarvexAway asked:


i recovered from bulimia two or three weeks ago, only because i was prescribed ADHD medications which decreased my appetite and made it hard to binge. i still feel disgusting and fat and i’m still trying to lose weight. since it’s winter and i can’t exercise outside, i play wii fit at least half an hour everyday, usually more. also, i restrict my food intake greatly and try to keep myself from eating. sometimes i binge and then make myself throw up, but i only throw up a little bit, and it’s only once every one or two weeks. am i anorexic? if it’s not anorexia, what is it?
