I don’t self diagnose

but I have been struggling with food for over a year now and I will go very long points of starving myself

people tell me I’m not fat

but I believe im fat

i have lost weight I just can’t see that I have lost it on my body

i have a lot of the same symptoms for some eating disorders and I don’t know how to see if I do have one and what recovery might look like

Hi - first and foremost welcome to the forums! The absolute best piece of advice I or anyone here will be able to give you on your specific situation would be to speak to your GP about the matter. It takes guts to confess when we feel something may be wrong with us - so also remember to be proud about possibly identifying something that could cause you serious harm if left unchecked.
