Is this ED?

[BlankSpace1]

I have struggled with food since around 12, due to trauma I used food as one of various ways to self harm since people don't really notice as much.
Anyway I'm now 22 and have had issues with food ever since, I don't eat very much anyway, usually snacks throughout the day and maybe one meal later on.
Lately though I havent eaten at all.
Today was one small bag of crisps and a chocolate bar, maybe a couple of mouthful of water.

I ask if this is even an ED though, no doubt my problems are psychological, but I don't purge or have an issue with thinking I'm overweight. I weigh around 9st and lost 8lb in around a month, if I weigh again now i know it would be even more (although I have been liking the thinner I get lately)
I suffer for this of course, I have stomach pains, feel dizzy and weak, have a constant headache and feel sick all the time, but eating makes me feel sick and if I need to I will have s chocolate bar and feel satisfied I have eaten for that day.
My partner is understandably concerned and frustrated, but I can't break the cycle at the moment!

I forgot to mention that I am booked to see an ED team next month, but since this comes and goes for me and doesn't fit common disorders, I'm not sure how much they could help me

Sounds like disordered eating which is something I suffer with too.

Pop 'disordered eating' into Google, and even try EDNOS which might fit too.

Important not to self diagnose so please keep your appointment with the ED team next month and raise your concerns.

Thank you I will do that, I do hope to get some help. This time round it's been going on for quite a while and I'm very weak and poorly! We shall see

It can be quite a scary thing to experience, as a lot of people don't take disordered eating very seriously. For me, it was neglecting food until about 8pm, then eating snack-type food and not a proper meal.

Also, please try to stay hydrated; this may help with headaches and dizziness. x

I've had a look at it and I only fit one or two of the signs! It's all focused around weight, but I'm aware I'm not fat and don't restrict food for the purpose of being thin.. So I don't think I fit into that either!

And bless you, thanks, I will try x

I was really surprised when I was told that I have an eating disorder. I didn't think I fit the 'profile'. So when it was mentioned I was actually stunned and talked it through with a professional.
Like many it wasn't a way to control weight, which from what I am understanding it's not always about this.
A part of mine stems from control as my food has always been something that I have full control over.
Please do keep your appointment. I find
Talking to professionals invaluable. Just be very honest and remember they aren't there
To judge but to help you.
