She has followed me into the washroom once, even though I was just going to go pee. She wanted to be sure. I am still within my weight range however I also haven't had my period in over a year which she also knows about. She isn't a big fan of labels either, so....I don't know. That is where I am at right now. Anymore replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

May T isnt into labels either, which is a bit annoying because even though im not either I find it easier to say I have BPD than going into a list of symptoms lol
Like you would most likely fit into the bulimia category since you purge and go through times of self starvation also. Most people don't actually know that bulimia isnt just about being sick, people who over exercise (frantically) to remove what they have eaten and people who take laxitives are also under the term bulimic. I was the being sick type. Its basically about eating but "getting rid" with bulimia and the self starvation for certain periods is sort of part of it.
But we could fit all eating that isnt classified as "normal" (whatever that is lol) as Disordered eating
I was on the edge of being underweight ( i totally looked it and worse) with extreme restrictive dieting at one point and told I couldnt get eating disorder help because I wasnt "bad enough" yet, even though people who seen me looked like they had seen a ghost....well more like a skeleton i guess
Its all very much about control and a coping mechanism though
