Eating Disorders

I am a self-diagnosed binge-eater, currently up 10 pounds since 2 weeks ago after some stressful life-events. I'm going to see a doctor later today to talk about it, but since fittit has always been my go to place for fitness and health advice I thought I'd post here first!

Background

Currently 20 yr old male weighing 76kg. Working sets are B160, S225, D265, OHP100 for a set of 5-6 reps. Been kcal counting for about 10 months now using MyFitnessPal. About 2 months ago fell off the wagon when exam-time hit, gained a few pounds and can't shed them back off. Been "cutting" for about 2 months now but it is more of a dirty bulk atm!

I absolutely love food, but I'm not the best chef with a low calorie budget so most of the food I create when on a cut is pretty bland. Bulking is super easy for me, the hardest part is limiting myself to only 2700kcal! My goals are to be strong as fuck, and lean as fuck with no real timeframe - been following Greyskull LP fora few months but made no real gains since I stopped following ICF 5x5, for dietary reasons rather than programming I believe. I don't smoke, don't have any injuries & don't do any cardio currently.

I would estimate my bodyfat at somewhere between 15-20% currently, only got tested once with calipers which told me 9.6% which is clearly wrong (done by a personal trainer) because I have a bit of a gut.

Questions

What is your advice for avoiding eating disorders?

If you have overcome an eating disorder in the past and don't mind sharing, how did you do it?

Any advice or constructive criticism is welcomed.
