Of course you can have insight into your own condition! You live with yourself 24/7. Your pdoc sees you how often?
And not meeting DSM IV criteria for anorexia doesn't mean you don't have a problem in that area. It just means you don't meet predetermined arbitary criteria to be diagnosed with something.
I'm stretching to say I meet the diagnosis of *any* DSM IV diagnosis, and my therapist agrees that I don't fit neatly into any box. But that doesn't mean I don't have significant emotional/brain problems (and my therapist agrees with that, too!).
