Hi I'm new here and have just found this thread. I'm not diagnosed but am pretty sure I have BED! I binge and then starve myself then binge then starve myself. I have used laxatives in the past but don't now. I put most of my wieght on through bipolar meds. I am obese (size 18) I am ashamed to get any help with this disorder because I don't want people to know that I binge (though it is probably obvious because of my weight) I think my reasons go back to being sexually abused as a child. My weight has always been an issue for me ( thinking I was fat when I was size 10) I just don't know whether I should discuss this with my pdoc as it seems so trivial but it affects every second of my life!!! Any advice would be gratefully appreciated!
