How To Cure Eating Disorder?
I think I have an eating disorder I had these behaviors for 5 months now. Im 5 4 and my lowest weight is 97.8lbs and my highest (regular) wieght 112 lbs. I restrict and get frantic if I eat over 1000 cals when I binged and I count calories. If I dont I get depressed/ frantic that I dont know how many calories Ive consumed. I purged once and for as short time I tried to eat regularly but I gained so much weight so I started restricting again and I need to get back to 100 lbs then to 93 lbs. Do you think I have an eating disorder?

Hello
Welcome here.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
Your description point towards a possible eating disorder. It could be anorexia nervosa.
Fir this problem, fluoxetine is the drug of choice.
Also, some dietary modifications like eating small meals, avoiding fatty food, plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration will be helpful.
Please consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Hope this helps.
