Anorexia Recovery: how do i know when ive stopped gaining and have stabilized?
Is it possible to have a disorder similar to bulimia that applies to other things besides food?
I think I have a disorder that is like bulimia but doesn’t involve eating.
The same habits are present, binging and purging, feeling out of control.
For example, I will spend lots of money one week and then when I feel out of control I will be extremely frugal and then when i feel back in control I do things to lose that feeling.
This also applies to organization. I will obsessively clean and become very organized, only to gradually become more and more messy and out of control with clutter until I feel completely out of control and then I will continue the cycle.
What does this sound like? Bipolar? I’m planning on seeing a doctor but I wanted to see if anyone could take a guess on what this might be.

Do you know someone who has died from an eating disorder?
If you know someone who has died from an eating disorder, please state their age when they died and how long they had their disorder before passing.
I am curious as I have had an eating disorder for 19 years and my doctor said today that I won’t make it much longer if I don’t turn things around really quick.
Don’t give me crap about eating disorders…I think I know most everyting there is to know as I have suffered for so long…
I realize I was in a bad spot when I asked this question, but that doesn’t mean you have to be rude. I am already having a bad enough day regardless of my appointment today. And there are many other issues behind my disorder. Please don’t judge me…you have no clue.
