new, many issues

New member, will try to make this brief…lot of mental health issues, diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, but because so many other things are part and parcel of BPD I am trying to navigate through different forums in search of help.

Binge-eating is one of my problems, a big problem. How do I stop? I realise mood and medications are triggers to my binges but I still can't stop.

Feel so so low, emotionally exhausted. I feel a freak…on so many levels.

I was an emotional eater most of my adult life. After my ADD diagnosis I began to understand many things differently. Low self-esteem was a huge part of my emotional eating, addiction to the carbs because the ADD brain gets exhausted fast and the sugars wake you up and the mindless trances I could wake up in (I would just go to the kitchen and look for something to eat.

I know this is my particular case and that BPD is different from ADD. I started walking when I dropped a few pounds and after a few weeks I realized I actually liked the exercise. I feel so much better when I get my 2 miles in the morning and evening.

I wish I could tell you something you have not heard before. I was surprised by how the snowball effect worked in the good direction for a change.

I'm sure there are many people here who can give you soem support. The good thing is learning that you are not alone in what you are feeling. I hope you get to feeling better soon
