Hi, I am not yet officially diagnosed as borderline but I most certainly have a lot of borderline traits and one of them is some sort of eating disorder I think.... Whenever I'm in one of my bad phases again I simply stop eating and become obsessed with it. I try to only eat one meal a day spread over an entire day, not having my first piece of food before 3pm. This makes that I lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. The problem is that I don't even really feel hungry. Sometimes I do, but after half an hour the feeling passes by and I feel okay again. Offcourse I get dizzy during the day, and I feel kinda weak but it still makes me feel in control of the situation and for some reason I feel really proud when I get through it without cracking and eating something. I even feel guilty when I do eat. I really don't know what to do with this... Especially since I don't truly feel bad about it, for some reason my head has a bet with itself to see if I can get myself to be underweight (and I'm close at times.) , but I try to overcome it, along with everything else. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me...

I no longer qualify for a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, but there will always be my borderline traits that I struggle with especially during times of great stress.

I have the opposite problem. I'm undiagnosed but I have every borderline trait but I end up binge eating. Just like you, I don't really feel hungry either. It's just an impulse thing.
