I Think i have BED

Hi Everyone!

My first post here so please go gentle with me!

For as long as i can remember ive struggled with my eating. I would eat when i wasnt hungry, And i would eat anything and everything in sight. And once i started theyre was no stopping me! Lately i have really struggled! Ive binged for the last few weeks everyday all day and ive gained 7Ibs and i feel disgusting but i feel like i cant stop. Im not even hungry but i get this uncontrollable urge to just put anything in my mouth until i feel incredibly sick and then afterwards im on a downward spirl of self hate and loathing myself. i honestly feel so low i dont know where else to tun. can anybody relate to this at all? i just feel so alone with this.

Hi and welcome! I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. Do you have a therapist or someone helping you with this? If not, it might be a good thing to try.

Have you identified a trigger for your binges? Perhaps try a list of alternatives to help you have a plan instead of binging? (i.e. going for a walk, taking a bath, drawing, listening to music)

Try not to be too hard on yourself. It sounds like you are having a hard time. Reaching out shows that you want to do better, and that's wonderful.
