Binge eating

Does anyone else here binge eat? I binge multiple times a week.. is there any treatment for binge eating?

a google search should do it, but a chick i was in group with was on ssris and obviously therapy. not sure how well she faired, i bounced before her.

if you can find a pattern with it, look for a trigger. or, if you know the trigger, isolate your emotion in that moment and feel it all, baby. it's the only way out.

It's funny you mentioned binge eating b/c that's exactly what Im going through right now. When I was 16 I was diagnosed with bulimia and manic depression. At 37 Im diagnosed with BPD, PTSD and binge eating disorder.

Lately, I have been finding ways to control my BPD. Reading up a lot on it. Being more self aware of when to pull back and recognize my rational and irrational emotions. To be honest, maybe I was a little naïve in thinking that once I found this new way of thinking and controlling the BPD emotions everything will fall into place. But I found myself binge eating. Then hating myself right after vowing to starve myself the next day. Mid day my blood sugar would drop and instead of going the healthy way I'd devour fast food. I am currently the heaviest Ive ever been. Clothes are my enemy. How can I not control the eating? It should be the simplest thing right? Control what you put in your mouth but I do believe that there are triggers. I have read that binge eating is a part of BPD and it makes perfect sense to me. But just like BPD triggers there must be binge eating triggers.

Knowing there's an event you have to go to, warmer weather and exposing your body, dealing with your NPD mother, dealing with things that trigger us must spark us to find comfort in fatty foods. It makes us feel good for the moment. No one can tell us what to do or what to eat. For me..Im addicted to carbs and salt. I fiend for it. I'll think about it all day. My mouth gets watery and I feel liberated that I can eat whatever I want and that it taste so good. In one day I'll eat mcdonalds, pizza and Chinese. But I would do it in secret. It felt like I was watching porn secretly just trying to hide it and then indulging when no one else was looking.

I'll have my moments where I'd eat good for like 3 or 5 days. Then I'd have a depressing day, get into an argument with someone, bad day at work and feel that my binge eating salty and bad foods justified it. If I started out bad in the morning it was leeway for me to continue being bad the rest of the day.

This is something I am still trying to conquer b/c it deeply triggers my depression. I'll have to start really researching it. There is a binge eating forum on here as well.
