Bulimia? Anorexia?

[PJ2000]

I don't really know how to start this but I hate my body and myself. I physically cannot cope. I hardly eat and what I do eat I later throw up. I don't know why but one day I thought it was a good idea to shove my fingers so far down my throat I could do nothing but vomit. And now that's every day. I'm 5ft 4.5 and weigh 7.6 stone. I weigh myself at least 2 times a day, every day. I have passed out from not eating and vomiting before, and I've had to stop horse riding because of it. People have told me that as I ride, I am definitely underweight, as I have a lot of leg muscle, but I don't get how that's possible. I self harm a lot, and I'm currently very suicidal, and everyday I wish the overdose killed me and I don't know what's stopping me from doing it again. I guess my question is do I have an eating disorder? And how do I stop feeling so low all the time?

Thank you for the reply, I'm going to speak to my gp soon as my parents found out about it last weekend, never really thought of it as brave to share, more cowardly, but thank you.
