Guys, so, i only eat 1 meal a day, that is lunch, i Skip breakfast and dinner and i also dont eat at school. Not because i have a problem with How i look, but because i'm Just not hungry at the moment, an sometimes even if i am hungry i dont eat. Sometimes when i dont have dinner and my brother asks If i ate i say no, he forces me to eat, and i ussualy Just make myself the least amount of food i can cuz i dont wanna over eat. I wanted to know If this counts as maybe an ed or self starving, ive been wondering this for a almost a year now and i always dismiss the Idea because i think im over reacting or being dramatic and stupid.
(Sorry If this doesnt mais much sense, i Just wanted a Second opinion)

i think its a mix between self starving and disordered eating.
the disordered eating is your general eating habits and hunger. the self-starving part is that you actively choose to make less food for yourself.
the best thing you can do is when you're hungry, let yourself eat. it sounds obnoxious but making sure you eat when you're hungry is a lot better than forcing down food.
i'm autistic and have struggled with disordered eating for so long, sometimes going up to 4 days without food. the most helpful thing to help is letting myself eat when i can.
.t.bel.t.
I just forget but eating is best because the stomach will forget to remind

I have the same issue and I have for my whole life. I'm not a professional by any means but my issue is almost certainly linked to neurodivergence and gut problems so I doubt its mental health related if you also have underlying stuff like that. That being said you do need to eat food. It wont kill you if you struggle with it but you should try to find an app of some sort or an alarm that reminds you to eat at least twice a day.
felt the neurodivergence part... autism is gonna kill me LOL
