[Flipping Frames]

I need to stop eating so much. I know everybody here has the same problem. Part of my problem is that I am trying to fill the hole in my heart. My anxiety level doesn’t help. The more anxious I am, the more I eat. And then there is my medication. Three of the medications I need to take have gaining weight as a side effect. Anyone have any suggestions? I feel like just giving up. Oh, by the way I am 63 years old.

Hello there and may I say a belated



to Psych Central and all the positive things it has to offer. Oh how I sooooooooooooo understand exactly how you are feeling, and how down on yourself you are. I'm 56 and suffered eating disorders for the last 35ish years. I've gone through the whole lot, from anorexia, to bulimia, to compulsive eating to severe restricting and whats more I'm STILL caught in the trap. I hope you will make some friends, infact I'm sure you will given time. Take care. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
