I have a rather odd habit. When I get really depressed or pissed at my mom, I have a tendency to starve myself...that is, basically don't eat anything for breakfast or lunch, usually...The usual intent (which actually never happens) is to faint from overexertion. It has nothing to do with weight or body image, since in actuality I'm probably too skinny and should probably be trying to gain weight...I dunno, just wondering if that's considered an eating disorder...I have yet to talk to my psychiatrist about it, but nthen I've yet to talk to my psychiatrist about much of anything sweatdrop

Well, if it's just skipping a couple meals, it's a problem, but probably not considered an eating disorder. It's probably just considered throwing a snit fit! You should still tell your Psychiatrist about it. One day your tantrums could be harmful!

I think that's self-injury rather than an eating disorder. I've done that a few times too.

I guess that's true...I've gone downhill with the self injury thing anyways...went back to cutting after a good few months without...but not skin breaking...

Well...I never considered myself as having an eating disorder, but I used to starve myself a LOT...skip brekkie, have half a salad for lunch, and next to no dinner, if any. And the occasional munchies. Being barely 100 pounds when I started doing it, and being about 5'5"...I was already thin, so this made it worse. I was also working out at least 3 times a week in our school's weight room, so...
However, I did it because I thought I was TOO thin, but I can't gain weight very easily at all, and my life was spinning out of control...So, it became my control. My one stability in life. But I never lost more than, say, 16 pounds, and have gained it all back since then, so I never really thought of it as a problem.
I still don't really eat breakfast though.

You should probably tell your therapist about it, though. Especially if you're thin in the first place - doing it frequently could be quite harmful.
Angellen - You should be careful. EDs form out of desire for control. Don't worry about no breakfast, though. I stopped eating breakfast for about 3 years and I was fine. I just ate more at lunch. I can't eat when I get up, it makes me feel ill.

I can go two days without eating. As long as I drink lemonade, I'm fine. I've found since I've been put on my meds, I've been feeling the need to perfect myself, and that means excessive sun tanning, not eating, and working out like crazy. I guess the eating disorder is not a seperate issue, but part of the whole working to better myself.
I'm thinking maybe something about your meds is causing you to do this to deal with your depression/anger with not eating.
