I think I have some type of bulimia, but I'm not sure. I don't want to have to go get medical opinions unless I'm 100% that something is wrong. I was talking to somebody and they said that purging can be more than simply vomiting and I know that, but is excessive exercise or starving/limiting to low calories after binging considered purging?
Over exercise is a form of purging. Purging is any activity used to try and make up for caloric intake is my understanding. But that aside you do likely have an eating disorder.
When limiting caloric intake (especially if it is fasting) after a binge, I think it definitely sounds like bulimia. If not, it could be EDNOS. Regardless, I think treatment should definitely be sought after. I hope everything goes well for you, stay strong and stay safe <3
