Hello,
Good for you that you are thinking about entering treatment. What a brave step! You’re on the right path. Getting help could assess and address any depressed mood, out of control experience and scared feelings. I’m not sure what you mean by “I wasn’t sick enough or skinny enough”… Were you denied health care? Or is this your own perception? Based on the information you have shared, it is worth seeking treatment again. In regards to if it is an eating disorder or not….. you stated, “no one has all three disorders at once”. While you may be engaging in (3) different behaviors, it does not mean you have 3 different disorders. In fact, it is quite common for those who struggle with eating disorders to engage in different eating disorder behaviors. You would need to meet with an eating disorder specialist for a full assessment to get an accurate diagnosis. I strongly encourage you to meet with a mental health professional that is trained in eating disorders for a consultation. They can do a full assessment and recommend the appropriate level of care. For more information about the different kinds of eating disorders and the different levels of care available, you can visit the bella vita website.

It's probably safer too have ednos rather than just one disorder so that's good
Um, ednos does exist.I had it and did all that stuff too. Though my weight did fluctuate a lot.
