Thanks so much for responding.
After spending some time really speaking with my therapist I realized how serious this has become for me and where I could be heading. It hasn't been easy this week getting myself to eat but I have been eating more often and it's a good start.
Ultimately, I guess it doesn't matter so much what I call it. It matters how its affecting me. Yes, I'm cold often, yes I'm always tired. and yes, I'm almsot always hungry and I'm always thinking about food.
I have to make changes.
I finally told my best friends about it too, in order to hold myself accountable and get support from them. They were very supportive and one has experience as an eating disorder counselor-which I didn't realize. The other lives in France where they have a very different view of food so between the two of them we were able to come up with an eating plan that I was comfortable with and can see working for me.
Again...I'm grateful for the support here.
