Really bad relationship with food

Ever since I lost a massive amount of weight, I've been having really bad relationships with food. I am 5'11 male 20yo, eating only around 1200 calories because I am afraid of eating. I know it's low, especially the fact that I work all day and moving constantly and going to gym for at least an hour a day, so at the end of the day my net calories is negative. I love food and food is always on my mind, it has taken over my life. I feel like I have anorexic thoughts and it's driving me mad. I can't even treat myself to anything because the foods that I "enjoy" causes me to go on a massive binge, a binge that will last me all day and maybe another day consuming over 10000 calories at a point. I avoid going out with friends nowadays because I am afraid to eat. ( I just left a party because of all the food that was taunting me) I don't know what to do anymore. I hate my body and I hate myself for letting it go so far. I'm just afraid of becoming obese again. Am i pre anorexic?/ binge eating disorder? My BMI is still at 23 but it's getting lower every day and I am extremely scared of what I am doing to my body but my brain keeps telling me not to eat.

Help! I really think I need to consult a doctor

    Your only other post is from 8 months ago saying almost the same thing. I'm assuming you haven't seen a medical professional about this since then?
    No one here on an Internet forum can help you with this. So, yes, you should consult your doctor.
