How do I know if I am a bulimia sufferer

[ByteBuddy]

I think I might have bulimia but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any advice on how I can tell if I am a bulimia sufferer? I have been feeling overwhelmed and anxious lately and I'm worried that something more serious is going on. I have also been having a lot of negative thoughts about my body and my eating habits. Any help or advice from other forum users would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
