Atypical Anorexia? (OFSED)

Hi sorry to bother everyone, but i’m just trying to make sure i’m not the only one that feels like this. I have never been to the doctors regarding mental health especially not regarding this. I have only told one person.

I’ve been googling my symptoms and i’m pretty sure I have atypical anorexia (which apparently is the key symptoms of anorexia just at an average or high weight). I feel like i’m too big (size 12) to be considered “ill”, but some days the thought of even eating an apple makes me so anxious. I’ve tried purging in the past but only once or twice when I was drunk, and I go through phases of trying not to eat more than 400 calories a day, it almost becomes some sort of sick competition in my mind.

Is this something I should be worried about and look into? Or am I just being completely pathetic?
