Is this bulimia?
lately Ive been looking into all types of EDs to figure some stuff out, mostly was focused on Bulimia. And what i didnt find was the nonbinging bulimia, everysite and book would say that bulimia would start with binging or over eating then purging..but i want to know if a person didnt overeat, like lets say ate below average, and felt extremely guilty and bad afterwards that they ended up purging. Would that be considered Bulimia? or anorexia? Both?

Well, I'm no expert, but any behavior that involves consumption of food and a way to try to get rid of the calories afterwards (because of guilt) is bulimia. It doesn't necessarily involve the binging/purging cycle. Since anorexia is calorie restricting, I think it could be also considered as anorexia. If this is your case, please stay safe and find someone o talk to (I'm always open). If it is someone else that you know, please look out for them and let them now they are not alone please.
