I have weird random question... I never really thought of myself as having an eating disorder, I've had a couple points in my life where I was technically anorexic for a short lived period of time but it happened again (got triggered by a bad breakup) and I just got diagnosed as anorexic. I was wondering if you guys ever experience this- I keep having these dreams where I lose control and eat a ton of ****, like usually cookies or something and I'll wake up freaking out thinking I actually did it. Does anybody else get that? It doesn't bother me too much once I realize it was a dream and I didn't eat a whole pack of oreos but I'm just curious.

I'm a recovering bulimic, not anorexic, but I have those dreams a lot! I wake up ashamed and terrified that I've binged when I didn't want to. I don't know what it means irl, but yes, i get them too.
Thanks for this!

I have those a lot especially when the restriction is really severe. i always end up in a panic because i worry that i really DID eat it.
apparently it's really common.

Yep. I totally get the dreams. In fact in most of my dreams I've broken into someplace and stolen the food from somewhere. And then I carry it around (well, I drag it, since it's so heavy) behind me and beat the crap out of anyone who tries to take it away from me. The dreams upset me for sure. I've spent so much of my life locked in devastating patterns with food and dieting. I'm still afraid a lot of the time that I'm going to slide back into it. I know how powerful it is. I don't kid myself.
