I guess many of us on here do all sorts of things to cope with our feelings, I won't list them on here, but food can just be another way to do this and I think in some ways as we all need to eat, it is easier to do.

But then we can get into the cycle of eating, feeling guilty and then eating to cope with the guilty feelings.

So I think the "solution" is to try to get greater awareness of our feelings and work with T is a good place to do that.

I don't think there is a quick fix though and maybe by just trying to be kind to yourself and not giving yourself a hard time right now may also be helpful, particularly if you are already working on things with T. You don't need to feel criticised by yourself - like we would support a friend through this sort of thing and not say to a friend the things we often say to ourselves.

You sound like you want to make some changes in your life right now and you are doing something about that in seeing your T - I would just be patient with yourself. Soup
