You're not a freak.

OFSED (EDNOS) is the most commonly diagnosed eating disorder. Eating disorders aren't black and white, like society often seems to want us to believe. There are various shades of gray between bulimia and anorexia. These shades of gray are binge eating disorder, compulsive/emotional overeating, and EDNOS. It sounds like you might suffer from EDNOS. EDNOS is the diagnosis usually received when a person suffers from an eating disorder, but does not meet the criteria for bulimia, anorexia, or binge eating disorder for whatever reason.

I go through periods of binge eating (less recent), restricting (more recent), and purging/compulsive exercising. But since I don't meet the criteria for bulimia (I don't purge after a binge), or binge eating disorder (my binge eating has not been recent), or anorexia (don't meet the physical criteria) - I am classified as OFSED or EDNOS.

The truth is, eating disorders come in many varieties.. and some people who struggle with anorexia may later struggle with bulimia. Likewise, someone who struggles with bulimia, may later struggle with anorexia. The way I think of eating disorders... is that they're all the same monster, but with different names.
