Restricting to overeating...now what?

Hi all. I'm currently struggling with overeating, or at least what I perceive as such. I'll just put out a massive TW to be safe.

When I was 15, I developed anorexia and my symptoms were restricting & overexercising. I'm now 18 and am struggling with overexercising still and overeating. I know that a lot of people recovering from restrictive disorders go through a period where they eat a lot more, somewhat like a compensation/refeeding period in which their bodies are making up for lost calories. I don't think that's what I'm going through.

TW!!!!!!!! Numbers
I am 5'5 and gained weight from the end of my junior year of high school to the end of my senior year of high school. (I'm currently a college freshman, for reference). Logically I know this isn't overweight but its heavier than I had ever been before. For a while, I did cut back on overeating and amped up exercise. I don't know how much weight I've lost. Now that I'm in college I keep overeating and overexercising and I know the two go hand in hand but I can't stop overexercising because I'm scared of weight gain. I guess I just need advice

Hi, meg, and welcome to Psych Central! Many folks gain weight the first year of college. Stress in part. How about going to your college's health clinic and telling the folks there what's happening?

It's 1:15 in the morning and I'm exhausted but still I'm headed out for my daily 3 mile run/jog. I know it's my disease forcing me to do this but I can't stop. I hope these forums will help. Yes, the 2 do go hand in hand, with their good buddies depression and anxiety.

Stress and maybe the interruptions, in routine, that are caused by adjusting to a new life too

Are you trying any self-care?
