can't handle this anymore... need support

I don't know about you guys but i find that it is really hard to recover from binge eating alone...
I've been trying to recover for quite a long time, but I always seem to fall back into it and it's really had. I don't have the money or the support from my family to go see a therapist, but I think I would need some help from someone, just someone who understands what I am going through...

I know I shouldn't give up, but I've juste gained so much weight from binge eating and lost all my confidence, it is starting to scare me that maybe there is no way out for me ...

help me please, i'm ready to give out my e-mail adress and stuff if someone wants to correspond with me. Please, i'm just so tired of all of this. It is time to make a change and for real

just a thought, how much money do you end up spending on your binges? Isn't that money that could be used to going to a therapist?

I
m here to help in anyway possible...if you need it, I'm here!

I had a binge eating disorder, too. It really messed me up for a while. I have bipolar, and the counselors and psychiatrists that I've seen for that weren't able to help me. I finally had to help myself. Recovery from binge eating is possible, you just have to be patient. What worked for me, was gaining a sense of worth again. I gained goals to achieve and feel good about. I try to keep myself busy, as that helps with reducing urges. I plan my days in advance. You have to keep in mind, that the binge eating is a symptom, not the problem. You're over eating because you feel bad for some reason. Step one, is finding out why you feel bad. I was depressed because I felt like a failure and a loser. I no longer feel that way. I am back in school, doing well, and on track to success. Next, you have to do things to keep you from getting down. For me, it's exercising and staying busy to feel good about myself, as school is easy. Next, it's about knowledge. Learn why your habits are so unhealthy, both mental and physically. Finally, it's about changing your habits. I don't drink diet sodas any more, or even eat almost any processed food. I am down about 15 pounds after first starting to be healthy and stop bingeing, and am looking to drop 20 more to have a 6-pack. The first two months were tough. The making of new habits takes time. For a while, I only ate in the middle of the night, because I controlled myself during the day. Then, I stopped eating in the middle of the night after I stopped obsessing over food. If I ever felt I'd sleep eat, I'd sleep in my guest house where there is no food.

I have similar problems also.. For me though I'm always good enough at not eating during the day, then I get out of control and binge eat all night. If I had someone to talk to when I was struggling in the middle of the night it might just help. If your interested I can send you my e-mail or cell phone number! Just let me know
