Is this a form of eating disorder or not?

For the past few years I have been purposefully making myself sick. Not necessarily after eating, sometimes I will drink lots of fluids just so that I have something to throw up. It's like an addiction and I'm so ashamed. I don't think it's bulimia as I don't binge eat, and I am not anorexic as I eat healthily. I just purge. Does anyone else here have the same problem?

Hi, after a bit of research it appears that it could be classed as 'Purging Disorder'. This is a recently aknowledge type of eating disorder and comes under the EDNOS spectrum (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). It certainly sounds like you are looking for some help. Are you able to talk to anyone in RL?
