I wanted to introduce myself after reading through some of the posts on here. It's really touching to read about other people facing similar problems and starting to make steps in a positive direction.



I am a 25y/o student on a high pressure course and I have been struggling with binge eating/compulsive eating/ocd for the last 3 years now.

Initially I tried to deal with things by myself and found it hopeless. I tried to tell my GP and felt ridiculed. I eventually told my closest friends and there has been a mixed response. Some just don't get it and some have saved me so many times. In general the more I have talked about it, the less of a thing it has become. I try to eat only when other people are around and eat whatever I want as long as I'm hungry.

It's still a battle. Emotions set me off and if I have a bad day then everything can go pear shaped. I really want somewhere to talk about this and if I can help anyone else by talking about it then that's a bonus I guess. I'm not sure it gets better, but it's certainly getting easier. Bit by bit.



So hey, a bit of a jumbled story. My name is LittleBitBroken. Nice to meet you all.
