I just feel stranded...don't know what to do

Postby theseriousgirl » Tue Dec 10, 2013 12:26 am

Hi,

I'm a teen girl, new to this forum. I've been struggling with eating disorders for the past two years..it went from a "minor" (I was never severely underweight) case of anorexia which lasted about six months, into binge eating disorder, which I've been struggling with for the past year and a half or so. I'm subjected to a fair amount of stress and nothing to take it out on, since I'm from a large, hectic family and just feel like I'm getting lost in the mix. I've struggled with body image for pretty much my whole life. Also, school keeps me really busy and so I don't really have any friends. Not sure if that contributes to my problems at all, but it might.
Sometimes I'll slip after a particularly hard day, or just when I feel like I'm craving something. It'll start with a plate of whatever caught my eye/brain, and then I just keep eating and eating for about an hour....it's like I can't stop. It happens a lot, almost daily. I feel really out of control, and this is the only part of my life that I feel that way about. It doesn't help that I just can't escape food (my whole family is kind of obsessed with it).
I keep trying to cure myself, but it keeps failing and I've seriously started to consider seeking help. However, I live in a place where there aren't many options and I'm also very busy, as is the rest of my family. I just want to get this out of my way so I can focus on the things that are really important and not have to be struggling with this for the rest of my life.
Thanks for reading this and if any of you have suggestions or recommendations I would REALLY appreciate it!

- Grace
