I'm trying to figure out what I have, and I have it narrowed down, but I can't figure out the difference between the two. Is the only difference that people with bulimarexia aren't underweight? If so, what's the difference between Atypical Anorexia Nervosa Type 1 and bulimarexia? Thanks in advance.

Bulimarexia is a syndrome in which the symptoms of both bulimia and anorexia nervosa are present, characterized by distorted body image, excessive weight loss, and use of forced vomiting to compensate for periods of binge eating.
A person struggling with atypical anorexia nervosa may exhibit an extreme fear of being fat or of any weight changes and resort to abnormal eating and feeding behaviors, such as calorie counting, cutting out certain foods/food groups, avoiding social events and functions that involve food, and more but without extreme weight loss.
Basically a bulimic person binges and vomits and an anorexic person just doesn’t eat, counts calories and does exessive amount of sport.
