I guess if it was me & I really wanted to know where I am at this exact point, I would go to my GP.......tell him that you have had eating issues & ask him if he could do a blood test to see if that showes up anything obvious. I know when I lost so much weight last year, my GP had me in the hospital for 2 months (my blood test showed up anemia & malnutrition). He did over $60,000 of tests to determine if it was anything physical that was causing the problem. (yes, I had the problem about 8 years prior to that because of a med I was on & then I wanted to stay thin).

Once he determined that it wasn't anything physical, he talked it over with my pdoc that I have had for years dealing with my depression & anxiety. If it is determined that it is a mental issue with you, then a good pdoc & psychologist that knows how to deal with ED's is the best thing you can do for yourself. They only wanted me in an ED treatment center when both my physical & mental issues were in a dangerous place & both needed treatment.....otherwise, it can be something that can be taken care of as an outpatient.

Hope you can find the people who can help you,
Debbie
