Was I an anorexic/bulimic?

Question

Erm, so just looking back on the last few years of my life, at times I have starved myself and controlled my intake of food, someday's the most I'd have was an apple. At one point I was righting everything down, and because you had to finish your food before you left the table I would get rid of half the food on my plate, drink it down with water and then throw it all up again. My mum caught me when the sink got blocked and I had to stop, I was still restrictive but perhaps not as much, and eventually i think i stopped, or it got to a point where it wasnt a big deal. When I go through a rough patch it happens again, most of the time it's making myself throw up. So I guess yeah, i was wondering, when i went through that phase which was a good few months and so bad people were telling me i looked ill did i have an ED coz i find it extremely hard to believe

Update:

I understand that it was all signs of an ED, but seeing as it lasted such a short while, does it still count and also the fact that Im quite awkward eating around people and stuff, like atm my position with food is, ill eat, but i also feel bad about it. Im just confused as to whether this is over, or if it has the potential to develop into a full blown ED, or if its a phase thing that will come and go

you sound as though you did. Maybe EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified. or anorexia b/p subtype. If you are still going through these phases then you should really see a professional before they turn into an every day occurrence.

if you controll your intake of food like that and make ur self throw up after you eat, then yes...but you obviously already knew that. havent you gone to health class?
