So, I'm not really sure what to do. About 3 years ago I lost a lot of weight and was diagnosed with anarexia. At the time I did not feel I had the disease, although I was underweight and didn't have a period. After the diagnosis I gained enough weight to put me back into the healthy zone without treatment or anything. Since then I have lost weight and nearly weigh what I weighed when the docs diagnosed me, but once again I'm not sure if I really am anarexia. Yes I'm underweight, lack a period and obsess about food, exercise, and my appearance. Yet, at the same time I eat normally (I count calories and only eat healthy food, but the jist is I eat substantial calories) granted I exercise and i dont look that skinny. I'm wondering if because I eat the basic calorie intake(give or take) I could still be anarexic? I'm underweight and have mental symptoms, but I feel like I eat well.
I'm afraid to say anything because last time the docs diagnosed my parents and I made a big deal about how they were wrong. Also, I'm about to go away to college and I don't want my parents to think I can't handle being on my own.
