I posted this in the ED forum but I don't know if there's much traffic there & I want feedback.

I'm not dx with ED but I'm good at hiding my eating patterns. I usually fast all day then eat dinner, often binging after but no vomiting, usually just further fasting with appetite suppressants & sometimes lax/diuretics.

I've started losing weight again. , restricting to 1200cal daily which I don't feel is too significant a restriction. I want to get to 50kg by novemberish. I hate the feeling of fullness. Weight loss seems to have fuelled a small fire in me & is REALLY helping my mood for some very weird unknown reason, sooo much less anxiety, more energy & drive, I'm happier, until I binge ��

I don't know if I can keep hiding my weight loss though, coming into summer & im already getting more comments, EAT EAT EAT.

Wondering if any others dx bipolar/panic disorder have found food restriction to help them? I'm not advocating it to be clear!
