Hello,
I went on this website for my bipolar II issues and ended up finding out about binge eating. I knew I did it, especially at times of stress, but didn't know it was a "thing." I'm so glad to have found this. Maybe now I can mention it to my doctor when I go again and get help for this. I have gained so much weight in the past few months. I am so disgusted with myself!! |

Hey there. Yeah, I have a similar issue. It's not a constant struggle to resist food just for the sake of food. I am a comfort/stress binger, which I've been struggling consciously with for the past few weeks but actually most of my life. I have doubled my own body weight since I started working at my current job and it's a bit miserable. I can feel the weight pressing on my joints when I move and it's starting to impact my mobility. I don't care about my appearance, but I hate feeling like I wouldn't be able to escape or fight back if I was in physical danger. Really there's no excuse for this level of complacency on my part, but I just can't help reaching for food when I'm anxious.
 Hope you find some help here. There are some good threads if you have the time to dig around. If nothing else, it helps to know that other people struggle with this same thing.

I eatw when happy, bored, angry etc.......difficult for me to maintain my weight.....I need more exercise but its sometimes difficult because I do have some chronic pain. Its a daily struggle for me especially when going thru depression. Right now the rainy weather here for a week or more has jumped started my S.A.D. which has started way earlier this year. I use a light but it does not completely help

most of my eating comes from not being able to control my emotions, or, also... as i like to say, " because it's their"
if somethings near me, i have to have it plus... i hate myself and believe that i'm beyond caring for what happens to me. (we're all going to die eventually, so why bother trying to do things right?) i've all ready screwed up every aspect of my life |

     Hello one and all. Oh yes, isn't it all such a waste of life and time, damn eating disorders. I honestly never ever thought when I was 18 and the ED's really kicked in that I'd still be a slave to them at 56 ~~ boy I could cry my eyes out and often do. The bulimia, then that passes and starving kicks in, laxative abuse, serious abuse, prescription drug abuse, alcohol abuse to stop me eating when I'm hungry. I'm a slave to hunger and do everything to take huger away because I cant, I CAN'T be fat. I was a huge fat kid and suffered bullying because of that, I 'spose I look ''normal'' now but whats ''normal'' anyways???? I HATE this material world, catwalk models, media pressure, I guess I HATE me, and I will always hate me. It's meant to be the BPD that is causing my ED's so why doesn't the medication that def helps for my mood swings work on my eating disorder???? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
