    I have found my self trying not to eat like my stomach says eat but my brain says no, and when I get solid food I start tearing it into smaller pieces and then consuming it or when I know I am hungry I wander trying to decide what to eat and then I just get a drink like water or something like I really don't actually eat anymore. Its like I try to find an excuse to not eat but I know I need to and food and eating is constinly on my mind. Am I getting a disorder?

It sounds like it. But I can't tell for sure without knowing how you feel. You've only told what you do. But why do you do it? Are you preoccupied with body image?

It sounds like an eating disorder. Obsessive Compulsive eating habits are a part of eating disorders. Plus the fact that your mind is telling you not to eat when your body is hungry is a big warning sign.

MAKE YOURSELF EAT!!!! FORCE YOURSELF TO EAT!!!!! I went through this and lost almost 20 pounds, I am still getting sick from it and that was months ago. It isn't good, it isn't fun, and you pay in the long run. I am not sure if it is an eating disorder or not, but i did the same thing. I never went to a doctor for it though I should have, if you have a hard time forcing yourself to eat, go to the doctor and get help. trust me, it is better to make yourself eat.
