Is this eating disorder? What should I do? I gave up everything in my life

I can’t stop binge eating and purging, and I even vomit at university. I started binge eating due to stress, and I lost control over it, which led me to gain weight. My weight has been fluctuating rapidly, sometimes losing 5 kg in a short period and sometimes gaining 7 kg. My salivary glands are swollen and painful, my face looks puffy, and I cry when I vomit, so my eyes also become swollen, which is very painful.

Because I have gained weight, I have given up on wearing cute clothes like other girls and even on getting married at the age of twenty, because I can’t see a future for myself. I think about eating all the time throughout the day. I feel like there is nothing else on my mind. Is this a disease? Will I get better if I go to the hospital?
