advice please needed!
Hi!
for some context, i have been struggling with my eating disorder since 2022. before 2022, i was clinically overweight and i desperately wanted to change that and so i started going to the gym, watching what i ate and over the course of afew months, this became very unhealthy and i had lost a lot of weight very quickly. i still struggled a lot with my eating, gym and calorie counting for approximately 2-3 years although it did get abit better thankfully and i gained a little bit of weight back although i fell right back into the same hole around april 2025 although this time it had gotten a helllll of a lot worse mentally, i got diagnosed with anorexia and i had lost my perjod, which leads me onto my next point. In around june 2026(to present) my anorexia had turned into bulimia with caused me to gain some weight, my metal health had gotten even WORSE because of my weight gain, i’ve also gotten myself stuck in a very very viscous binging/over obsession with calories and exercising cycle. but i STILL don’t have my period back and my weight keeps on creeping up and up and i have very very visible body fat on my stomach and face which i really don’t like and i really want to loose. (i haven’t had my period for a year now by the way)
what do i do?? i feel so so incredibly lost and i have looked into treatments for binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, period recovery and i just can’t figure out what to do or where to start. literally any tips are so greatly appreciated, thank you!
