Anyone with SA and an ed?
i think i heard its more likely for you to get an ed if youre depressed or have another mental disorder...
ive had some disordered eating, i wouldnt say i was anorexic but i was definitely restricting my eating.
any experiences with sa and eds?

I have never been officially diagnosed with an eating disorder; however, I am preoccupied with what i eat. I try not to gain too much weight and sometimes feel a lot of guilt if i have a week where I eat too many fatty foods. I do get depressed a lot and sometimes I think I turn to food for comfort.

i used to.. definately not any more.. i don't think that i had it long enough to be classified as an eating disorder, but from november 07 - may 08 i lost 2 stone, sometimes i only ate 100 calories a day.. but i'm fine now.. i eat too much, haha.. don't think it's anything to do with my SA, just me being a self conscious teen, wanting to look like all of those girls on tv..:/

I think I have issues with this at times...

Sometimes when I eat junk food I feel all guilty about it and won't eat agian for the rest of the day.

I had an eating disorder back when I was a sophomore/junior in high school. I was a bit on the chubby side as a young teen, lost a ton of weight, then became obsessed with food and working out 3 times a day to maintain my skinny figure. I think I had "exercise bulimia", since I became obsessed with going on the treadmill and immediately working off whatever food I did consume. I don't have any more issues with food now though.

I have in the past. I had counselling for anorexia.

I had EDNOS - I got down to about 44kgs before I kicked myself back into reality. I can remember thinking - 'no wonder people don't like me or want to talk to me, look at how fat and ugly I am'

That was a very dark time in my life. SA alone is hard enough.

i don't think i have an eating disorder per se, but i did have unusual eating habits for quite some time. i'm also terrified at the thought of gaining weight. i have to constantly check my weight on the scales and my body in the mirror to make sure i haven't suddenly turned fat.

i meant to be trying to gain two kilos at the moment but my fear of being fat is making me procrastinate on this.

I have problems with it. I don't think it would qualify as a full blown eating disorder. But I go through periods, weeks or months, of either gorging or trying to starve myself. My weight has fluctuated between 140lbs. to 240 lbs. Terrible stretch marks all over myself. I might be an eating disorder, I'm not sure what they call it though.

For about 5 years. They said I have bulimia but I don't. Bulimia in Latin means hunger of an ox. I don't binge. The first doctor I saw said what you did though that it's common for people who have other issues.
