I am new and no one else, other than myself and my sister know about my condition - binge eating disorder (BED). I have been fighting this for over 3 years and I always thought that I could do it by myself. Obviously, it didn't work out. I am so so sick of this! I am so sick of gaining weight and feeling horrible about myself!

I really don't know who to turn to because I am studying abroad, away from everyone I love. I am too ashamed of letting anyone else know because I feel very disgusted by this eating disorder. I used to enjoy food without any worries and now I just can't stop myself from constantly thinking about it. What should I do? =(

hello and welcome to the eating disorders section of psychcentral, you've come to the right place.

their are a lot of people here that struggle with what you describe, and a lot of people who can offer you support

let me tell you though: it certainly nothing to be ashamed of. at all

it's something you have issues with and you certainly shouldn't feel embarrassed about your own situation (but i know that can be hard)

hugs to you... and keep reaching out
