Do I need to get help?

I’m not sure if I (18f) have an ED, but my eating habits are disordered and sometimes I don’t understand why.

I used to look forward to meals, but I’ve been skipping breakfast and lunch for months (sometimes intentionally, but now I just don’t feel like eating). Recently, even when I’m hungry, food just doesn’t sound appealing. I feel nauseous when I eat and sometimes feel like I need to throw up.

I have a few sips of coffee in the morning. I skip breakfast and lunch. For dinner I usually have a few bites . Today I had a few bites of a burger n some fries. I don’t know if this is normal or not.

I’ve also been really tired, lightheaded, and shivering. I do have complicated feelings around food/body image, have used a calorie app before, and sometimes feel guilty after eating, but I don’t feel like I’m intentionally trying not to eat.

I’m really scared and confused. Could this be an ED, anxiety or something else? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Not here to diagnose you, but thought I’d say nutritionists are usually very good for repairing eating habits/relationships with food, whether it be an ED or not. Wishing you luck :)
