catastrophizing

I just got back from the supermarket where I way overate. I've gotten in a terrible habit where as soon as I feel like I ate a little too much I go way overboard and eat a ton. I feel really sick right now. Then I purge. By now I'm so embarassed by my eating that I tend to do a lot of it in the store--without paying. It's like I think if I don't buy the food it doesn't count! I recognize the huge problem but I just turn off my brain. It was better for a while but now back again and no--the rest of my life is actually goign really well. Why am I doing this? I was in theraphy for about 8months but my insurance changed and I cannot afford it anymore

Liz,

I'm so sorry you are struggling right now. Insurance can be a real stress too. Have you talked to your old T about possible ways to work around your insurance problem? If not, you might try a 12-step group which is free. Maybe go to somethingfishy.com to see if they have a listing of ed recovery groups. Also, churches are another way of getting counseling and support if you belong to one. Please keep reaching out.
