I guess the question you are asking is whether or not you should have the diagnosis in hand just in case you end up back in the system?
The mirror thing sounds important. You feel your perception is distorted? It's not as exaggerated as in body dysmorphic disorder, is it?
One thing to consider is that eating disorders are often about control. For anorectics, body weight is the only thing they feel they have absolute control over in their lives. Does this apply to you?
