News of Eating Disorders

Hey y’all,
I’m not usually one to post stuff like this, but I’ve been sitting with it for a while and I feel like I need to get it off my chest and maybe get some support or advice too.

So, there’s someone close to me—let’s just call her A. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed she’s been acting different. Skipping meals, obsessively checking calories, avoiding any kind of food-related social situations, and lately ...

Hi, im new-ish here, sorry if i dont write something good or bcs of the grammar, this isnt my first language, just in case. :(

Since childhood iv been struggling with food mainly bcs of the problems my mum has with it, she kind of transfered it (?), to me and it was worse since i was born with more weight that i should have bcs of ...

There was a time I had serious weight problems. Now I am ok, but when I was that weight, now that I can properly reflect, it was pretty bad, and i didn't look good. I still have photos on social media that are public, and I am reminded of my ignorance and lack of respect for myself.

Hello everyone. I recently realized that walking two blocks, going to the store and buying/eating huge quantities of food at 2am is probably an eating disorder. That and the fact that I can't stop it once it's started. I did it last night and I still feel gross.
I'm trying to figure out where to start . I've even be happy to cut it down to once very few months or something.
Any advice will ...

I don't know where to start except that I think I hsve a problem but I dont know where it fits or if its bad enough to mean I need help. Since I was around 11 I was being sexually abused & blackmailed. I was also very anxious all the time of bad things happening bc of their threats & thats when I first started to punish myself through eating. If I had git in ...

I'm worried about how much I'm eating. It is a bad habit of mine but it is happening due to me staying at home and not having much to do and feeling restless. I want to go out to work full time but I'm not sure if my energy levels will allow it. I want to find a job which is flexible so if I have to cut down hours I can and I just ...

I get super sick from eating that now it takes a whole hour to get a small bit of food down and that's all I can take.

I know it's not about trying to lose weight but I just want to be clean so nothing hurts me however I have lost a significant amount of weight in a few days.

I don't want to be transferred to psych when I see my specialist but I ...

Forgive me if this is old information, but I think it's worth mentioning (if someone hasn't already) that we should carefully examine any meds we're taking that may be influencing our impulsivity. Especially any meds that have anything to do with dopamine. I take Bupropion and Pramipexole (just switched to Ropinirole today actually) and I think both of those are having some influence on my impulsivity to some extent.

The Bupropion may be exacerbating my ...

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 ...
