Could be a subtype of anorexia depending on your weight. EDNOS doesn't exist anymore in the new DSM but I guess here it's used for every ED that's not a textbook case of anorexia, bulimia, or BED.

Beautiful.
But the answer you want to hear:
I'm the same, my therapist said it's Purge-type anorexic.
I purged to lose weight, just a means of controlling it(No binge).
Frogs is right though, EDNOS sorta got 'discontinued', but realistically, screw whatever. I'd call that anorexia.
Hope that helps.
And don't worry about putting yourself into a category, there is NOT a single person that is a textbook def. of anorexic or bulimic. If there is, they're trying to be(Which does happen but even then that's a different thing all together).
Category's are dumb. No one person can fit in perfectly, otherwise there would be a LOT of very boring people walking around.
again, the answer I really REALLY hope you try to take seriously: beautiful.
Please though if you ever need help, you can talk to(***Almost) anyone on here, we're WAY more than supportive and honestly, I'd be dead if it weren't for some of the people on this site.

I'm not a doctor, or know enough about the DSM but that does sound towards EDNOS but it is normal for anorexics to b/p so you could sway towards that as well. Nevertheless, having a name for your illness won't change much, fact is it's some form of eating disorder and your doctor should be able to help you find the reasons why and help you

EDNOS did not end, it just has new names: either other specified feeding and eating disorder or other unspecified feeding and eating disorder.
But since most of the professional world doesn't use the DSM 5 yet anyway, that isn't particularly relevant. Unless you are underweight by whatever standard your professional uses, it would probably OSFED labeled purging disorder.
I am a professional licensed to diagnose, but this is intended as information about diagnostics, not a diagnosis for you personally.

I am the same.... I restrict and then when I eat or if I eat something that is remotely unhealthy I purge.... I dont binge though.... I dont really know what to consider myself
-
Yeah! Except I don't consider what I eat unhealthy but I do restrict. I try to go as long as I can sometimes and when I do finally eat, I feel extremely guilty and want to get rid of it. But I don't think I can make myself throw up so I just restrict again or excersice. I consider myself as having either EDNOS or a sub type of Anorexia. The restrictive one. I don't know.
