Specializes in Psychiatry

This is very: Unhealthy. I would never try to diagnose someone off the information provided. See you have depression and panic disorder. Do you have a psychiatrist or a psychologist? I if yes- please let them know what is going on. If no, find some. If you haven't eaten in 3 weeks recommend that get prompt medical care. This is extremely dangerous !

Yes: At this time i would consider this to be bulemia and i feel you should discuss this problem with your physician before it becomes a deep problem.
