Hi Chloe and welcome to the forums
I receptly did a post on my ed. Copy and paste link for my background. Not expecting you to reply there but just so I don't have to re-type it https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/online-forums/anxiety/ed-post-about-relapse-#qqgBlnHzvGGEbv8AAOnT_A
I know what having an ED is like. I myself still struggle with it. When I was young I we refered to psychologist as part of the children and youth mental health team known as CYHMS. I have also used a servie that also see eating disorders and youth called headspace. It is a youth mental health service that is free for those 12-25. I have found them fantastic. Maybe go on their website and see if there is a centre near you. They also have online people to chat to. You could also go on butterfly foundation website. I have chatted to them online which has helped. BUt it isn't as helpful as seeing someone in person.
I want to tell you that I thought something was wrong but it took me a while to talk to someone about it. I looked up signs and symptoms (dad did mention eating disorder to me when talking about work, so implanted it in my brain, he is a doctor) and realised I had a lot of them. I had a bad relationship with food and body image. IT was a battle in my head.
A lot of people think it is just a phsyical problem but that is more of a symptom (well for me it was not speaking for all).
I want you to know you are not alone. It can get better. I am a work in progress. I was tempted to binge and purge but I decided to have a health dessert of yogurt and fruit instead. I am celebrating the small wins
