Binge eating is very common among BPs. It's just another form of self-medication. Ironically, I was a binge eater for much of my life, but mood stabilizers took the urges away and now I just eat when I'm hungry. I just wish I'd discovered these drugs 150 lbs. ago!

I would definitely tell your pdoc about your bingeing. He can't help you unless you are completely honest with him. It's nothing to be ashamed of; lots of people do it, but unfortunately it raises our risk of heart disease and diabetes, which as mentally ill people we are more susceptible to anyway. Take care.
