After my counselling session, well, I don't know really. The counsellor said it sounds like I have a bulimia-type disorder (he's an specialist in EDs), which I already sort of guessed. But he also said my eating patterns are fairly common and that I'm certainly not alone.
He said also what I had found in that the NHS mental health teams aren't that good with eating disorders (sorry if you've had a good experience and I'm making it sound shit, but that's how I feel about it at the moment).
We've agreed to have a full session next week and I've been given a food diary to complete. The best part is he said we can work on stopping the binge/purging but I can still carry on restricting so I don't have to give that up yet. He said we can look at trying to increase the calories more when I feel comfortable. He also said that the process could be painful emotionally and it won't be easy.
Bring it on, I guess....
