How do you know when the line has been breached into a true eating disorder? I hardly eat, I know I don't eat enough and I know I don't eat a properly balanced diet -- but I eat enough to stay on my feet, if that makes sense. I've seen a dietitian, psychologist, family doctor, allergist, and yet I still feel overwhelmed and defeated by all of this. Life is just so difficult these days that these failures can feel crushing and make everything into even more of a struggle, kwim?
Thank you for sharing your stories, I know it is hard to remember and talk about these memories and I truly appreciate the sentiment.

That's a difficult and thorny question. I'd say if it's significantly affecting your quality of life, it's problematic at a level that needs to be addressed. If the psychologist and dietician aren't helping, it might be worth looking for others; and maybe even considering seeing a psychiatrist and discussing the possibility of medication. Sometimes, even as a short-term solution, that can help mitigate things like uncontrollably severe anxiety enough for you to address the stuff behind it.
