New here. I’ve been posting on a lot of boards but I have a lot of problems that are all related in some way. I have been over weight most of my life. Just now coming out of a binge eating period lasting 3-4 months I was sleeping 12-13 hours a day to avoid eating then depression set in, the more I slept the more sleep I needed. Brushing my teeth after snacking was an effort but it helped somewhat. I have no desire or energy to want to exercise.

Then I read someone’s comment here that binging is a form of self-medication which struck home with me. I am sleeping fewer hours now and eating less, but then again I have relatives visiting and don’t want to overeat around them.

There aren't any OA groups nearby where I live. Has anyone tried Do online OA groups?
