It's also occurred to me that I seek to remedy disordered eating....with other "disordered" eating in the opposite direction. Go from eating whenever I feel bored to eating extremely sparingly or not eating at all. Yet I feel like I deserve it.

. Hi hunny, yeah, welcome to the club and how we feel so darned low compared to the "normals" of this world. Honestly, I actually detest what I call the "normals", because I've never really known what it's like to be that thing we call "normal". I'm 57 and my eating disorders started basically from birth, as I come from a family of compulsive eaters, a family where meal times were worked around and we live to eat, rather than eat to live. My ED really kicked in when I was 17 and went on my first "diet", yep, did a self imposed diet but it went too far and I ended up in hospital with anorexia and depression. After that every time I wanted to, or had, binged ~~ I tried to kill myself, hence many many admissions and stays in the psych hospital. I can't believe at my age I'm STILL battling ED's, mostly now it's severely restricting or out and out binging.
I wish you the best darling, I KNOW what it all feels like.
