Question
Hey i was wondering how do u know if u have an eating disorder or not? Cuz sometime after eating i feel guilty and wanna through up just to make the guilt feeling goes away!!

Answer
It sounds as though there maybe some thoughts there that are consistent with eating disorders and disordered eating patterns!

If you believe that you may be developing an eating disorder, please try and get some help as soon as possible!

If you have anything, and I mean anything, else you would like to ask or talk about, please feel free to get back in touch!

Expertise

I am a medical student and have suffered from anorexia and bulimia myself, I am willing to answer questions based on my own experiences. My advice, however, should not be used as a substitute for that of a qualified medical professional.

Experience

I suffered from anorexia from the age of about 10. By the age of 13 I was suffering from bulimia. Now after 10 years of suffering from an eating disorder, I feel that I can say that I'm well on my way with recovery and would just like to be able to share what I have learned with those in similar situations!
