The two main patterns you described are:
Starving yourself: Restricting food intake or not consuming enough calories to meet your body's nutritional needs is characteristic of anorexia nervosa or other forms of restrictive eating disorders.
Binge eating: Consuming large quantities of food in a short period and feeling a loss of control during these episodes is characteristic of binge eating disorder.
Having both of these patterns, where you starve yourself for a period and then have days of binge eating, may indicate a combination of anorexia nervosa (during the restrictive phase) and binge eating disorder (during the episodes of binge eating).
It's important to recognize that eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that can have severe physical and psychological consequences. They require professional assessment and treatment by qualified healthcare providers, such as doctors, psychologists, or eating disorder specialists.
If you suspect that you or someone you know may be struggling with disordered eating patterns, I urge you to seek help from a healthcare professional. They can provide a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and create an appropriate treatment plan tailored to individual needs and circumstances. Early intervention and professional support can be crucial in managing and recovering from eating disorders effectively.
