am i losing my period ??!

This was around the age I lost my period too (just as my disordered behavior began too). I still haven't gotten my period back (6 years later). I recently decided to recover less than 2 years ago though. I lost it a little over a month after I began my disordered eating behaviors/over-exercising. When I first lost my period, my doctor assumed it was normal because he did not know of my disordered behaviors at the time (it became clear after a couple months though).

If your period goes away after having it consistently after a year, there are many things that could have caused a missed month, but if you have disordered eating behaviors, they're likely the culprit. However, this could be completely normal since one missed month is not seen as abnormal for younger people.

It makes me very happy to hear that you're trying to develop a healthier relationship with food! This is definitely a great first-step imo!
