From march to december i live in another city, where i go to school. Now i'm back in my home town and everybody is telling me i've lost weight.
But everytime i look myself in a mirror or something i feel i'm a cow, and i only see huger, rounder, bigger and fatter.

I don't understand what's happening.
Are they being cruel?

PS: I don't have an ED.

Oh hi there, person exactly like me. I came home two days ago and everyone keeps telling me that I lost so much weight (I was away for 3 months). Yet I feel fatter than ever. And I don't have an ED either. Here's the thing though, when you don't see a person for such a long time, you notice all the little differences. You see yourself everyday, so you don't really notice it when you lose or gain weight because it's too gradual. On the other hand, people who haven't seen you in months will notice it.

It does sound like you have an eating disorder.

You are not thinking rationally, counseling and professional help sound like a good idea.

Maybe check out a doctor. Get some professional help.
