just got my period for the second time this month...last one ended about 8 days ago. I'm really worried. this has never happened before. bleeding is heavier than usual but not so much that tampons are leaking or anything like that. no symptoms aside from bloating and mild fatigue which are typical for me to experience when I'm menstruating. this has never happened to me before as far as I can remember. could something be wrong? also I guess I should mention that I have PMDD and bulimia.

I think bulimia is the key word here. I was looking for a nice way of asking if you had an eating disorder without actually asking (I know how offensive it can be to be asked about it). Eating disorders are one of the key reasons for irregular periods (or bleeding between periods).
It's not guaranteed this is the reason, by the way, and it is still worth getting a check up but - if it sets your mind at rest - this is what it's likely to be, as opposed to anything more sinister.
