I owe lots of money to ppl.
Because of binge eating.
My mum is ignoring me and my dad is getting close to fed up.
I really don’t like how addiction can consume me on every level.
My whole family sees me like the plague atm.
I feel bit tense 4 my bf. I owe him money. And it’s been a while since he lent it.
His rent was raised and his job has been temporarily halted. His family is struggling financially. So it’s not easy asking them 4 money.
Maybe the situation will change
No wonder I have low self confidence if I can’t control myself. I’m like a cancer.
Anyway. Maybe things could change.
F u ck you addiction.
You not my identity.
Anymore.

I’m just confessing here so you guys don’t think I’m an angel.
I do try. Though.
I’ll give myself that much of a pat on the back.

You borrow money to binge on food? That’s what I understand from the post.
That seems odd.

Well to be clear,
I burnt my benefit money binging on food.
And then I borrowed money for some or all of rent.

You must feel really hungry. Likely something else going on. Meds can make you ravenous. I’d check with a doctor. Maybe something can suppress your appetite like ozempic or something.

I don’t really know what could help.
I have a big appetite, but I basically eat peanut butter toast, chicken tenders and chips / fries and apples and some vegetables for most meals. I eat as much as I want, but I never eat out. Is that what youre doing eating out?

I ate cheap but also pricey food. It’s a mix.
Including restaurants and fast food.
Etc.
All sorts.
I’ve just been completely in a terrible trance.
I would like to come out of it.
Because it also stunts me developmentally

Whats your kitchen situation like? I know youre staying in a room, so maybe you are eating out because you dont have comfortable cooking arrangements?

Yes that does not help.
Because it’s a communal kitchen and my landlady is often there. The other housemates np but the landlady easily starts worrying about me.
Anyway no more excuses lol.

Getting to the heart of the matter of why you binge eat, through therapy, helped me a lot. I still have strong urges and mess up sometimes but it’s better.

Funny cos the reason they don’t let me do therapy is because of the binge eating.
