Binge eating

Is anyone here a binge eater? I thought I had good body positivity but because C left me I’ve started to go a little ‘wonky’. We’re taking a ‘break’ till I get my liscense. I didn’t see him for two months before he told me why and that was back in summer. Everything is comming to a head right now. Thanksgiving, Christmas, my sister is getting married right after Christmas. I’m so worried that I’m going to screw everything up for her.

One of those don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry, damnit. I’m beyond worried things.

Binge eating isn’t really something that had crossed my mind because I didn’t know that it existed. I’ve never done something like eat something out of the trash but I’ve never had to. I usually either eat the whole thing or I have a little self restraint. The word self restraint isn’t right here because there is more food. There is always more food.

I’m lucky to have parents that can cover all of my bills and buy all the food I need. I drink water constantly so I know I’m not dehydrated.

Going back to the hospital or seeing someone during all off next week isn’t an option. I have to be with my grandparents, out of state. I’m so worried that my Mimi won’t be around for much longer that I can’t not go.

If any of that eating disorder stuff is familiar to you, binge eating in particular, please message me. I need help.

I had an ED (back and forth between bulimia and anorexia) for 18 years. They’re miserable. I’m sorry you’re struggling. I don’t have much advise, other than make yourself eat as slow as humanly possible while binging, but if you ever need someone to vent to, you can pm me.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

This never seems to happen in the summer. It’s always around holidays when I get to see my family. I look forward to it so much though. I love them but I get so sick this time of year. My first and only hospital stay was near thanksgiving. My parents had to cancel our trip to see the rest of the family and I was only in for three days.

I didn’t even need to be there really. I had just given up hope that I would ever be able to function in real life and I decided it was time for commitment (I didn’t know it was catch and release these days. I thought you went in and stayed in. -_-).

Does your anxiety increase? I know when my anxiety or stress levels are worse I get more and more ill.

yeah but more like in a little dog way. I’m so excited about everything that’s going on I’m nearly freaking out. Then the stress builds on itself and I melt down.

I used to binge eat so much that my stomach would feel like it had burst afterwards…

I think the only reason I’ve stopped is that my antidepressant also treats binge eating for some reason. I physically cannot binge anymore.
