Confused
I dont know whats wrong with me I know I have an eating disorder but I dont fit in these categories. I eat one large meal every 48-72 hours then I practically starve myself for the rest. And now I may be pregnant. I dont know what to do.
@reserveddragon24 - There is actually a category of diagnosis for eating disorders that is effectively a catch all for disorders that don't fit the other diagnoses. And regardless of a formal diagnosis, it certainly sounds like you're struggling a lot and could use some help. Have you told a doctor or a therapist about this? It sounds like they might be well suited to help. Otherwise, opening up to a friend or family member, or even a listener on here might help. Talking through how you're feeling and digging down to the root of why you're eating this way is the first step to recovering. Take care
My family is strong Christians and believe this is just the devil so there's no point talking to them and because of that I cant get professional help because I cant afford it
I'm not sure where you live, but at least in the US, there are a lot of therapists who offer sliding scale payments, which is effectively whatever you can afford. I believe some other countries have similar things. There are also a lot of free support groups, which is something I found really helpful in my recovery. If you're in the US, I recommend taking a look at anad.org, and if you're elsewhere, you can find a lot by searching online. Good luck!
