I just recently realized I had an issue with binge eating. I didn't realize it was a problem until I started digging deeper with a psychiatrist for my PTSD and anxiety. Since I admitted to my issue to my fiance and best friend...I feel like it's becoming more intense. My stomach hurts and I'm eating more than I have ever had. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow for a follow up but I'd really like to bring up how this is getting worse and worse. I don't want to ask for medication but I feel completely out of control right now and I don't know where to start. My fiance is getting very worried about me...I don't know what to do. Any advice?

Hello, chinobi87. As I have suggested to many, perhaps the simplest way to broach the subject with your psychiatrist is to print a copy of your post for him/her.

I wish you well.

Thank you for the suggestion and I think that's a great idea. Hopefully they will be able to help me get on the right path.

hi. I felt the same when I first sought help. In the run up to my assessment my portions grew again. That night I really not to binge and I eventually gave in over the next week. In the run up to my first session with my therapist I had my worst few days binging in weeks! However, after that first session I so much better. I even relaxed around dinner that evening which was a huge deal. Talking about things can definitely bring issues to the surface, but that is also where the healing happens. Hopefully this is the next step for you
