Sounds likely: You should talk to a mental health professional when you get a chance as it sounds like you are experiencing symptoms that could be consistent with an eating disorder. Stay safe!

Possibly, yes: Bulimia is a very serious medical condition. I recommend that you seek consultation with a licensed counselor, especially one that has experience dealing with bulimia. Also, it may be beneficial for you to check in with your PCP or a psychiatrist to see if there are any types of medication that could work in conjunction with the counseling to help you overcome this issue. I wish you the best luck
