Hello. I am new here, and wondering if anyone else has this

Postby WelcomeToMe » Tue Mar 30, 2021 2:49 am

Hello. I am new to the board. I was recently diagnosed with binge eating disorder, so I am fairly new to what most people experience with it. But what my problem is, is a complete fear of starvation. If something happens that I am in a place where I cant get enough food, or dont have time to eat, I binge later to make up for it. I dont binge out of boredom, or to fill an emotional void, or even for the taste, I binge because I am terrified of feeling hungry, even a little bit. And as I have heard some bullemics say that they purge to get rid of the uncomfortable full feeling, but I love the full uncomfortable feeling, in fact it's the only time I dont feel like I'm starving. I dont crave sweets either, for me it is all comfort foods. I like to make sure I have 3 full course meals per day, and I load my plate. I am just wondering if this is common with binge eating disorder, or if anyone can relate to me. I was diagnosed with several other disorders as well including a personality disorder. Any thoughts/ comments are appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forums!

How long has this been going on? I don't consider myself to have an eating disorder... yet... but since the Corona, I've been going through periods of eating anything that doesn't run away from me.

Hello. And thank you. This has being going on since the Corona as well, but the fear of starvation goes back a little further.

I feel you. I was exactly like this for a year until I found myself busy with work. I noticed I wasn't eating like I used to. I guess getting your mind off food helps.

I wouldn't say I have a fear of not feeling full, but rather an obsession with the type of full feeling that is adjacent to pain. I don't feel satisfied unless my stomach is stretched beyond its comfortable threshold.
