hi Horizons!
thanks for replying to me, how are you?
I've had a much better couple of days and had my appointment at the eating disorder unit today. We identified 3 of my binge triggers, which all happened at once : tiredness, too-hungry and anxiety. I hadn't pre-empted it.
I do feel glad that somethting positive has come out of this terrible day and I know what to try and avoid in future, but it was a rough one...
are you getting psychoanalysis? is it helping you? where I go, its more cbt and meal planning. Its okay . I guess this will take a long time, i've had bulimia and then binge eating disorder for over 20 years.
Hope you've had a good few days and feeling okay?
lots of love xxxx

I've got binge eating disorder and just started weekly sessions at at eating disorders unit. I'm afraid I don't have any words of wisdom for anyone as I'm new but just wanted to thank you so much for sharing this as I know it takes a lot to admit this stuff. I've had 5 sessions so far and I'm having some glimmers of recovery but then today I've had a terrible day and feel just awful. I'm trying really hard to hang onto the positives but when I binge i feel really low.
Horizons, you mentioned a book which you've found helpful and I wondered if you could let me know what the name of it is, I would like to read it?
Thanks again, everyone who's shared on this topic, you help me to remember I'm not a failure, its an illness.
love to you all xxx

Hi Diamond,
Sometimes I have a run of good days and think I've cracked it but it never lasts. I had been okay-ish for a week or so then got carried away again and can't stop. Hormones make it worse, so does anxiety and any kind of change or uncertainty in life seems to set me off.
I just hope the powers that be, can help. I tried Overeaters anonymous for 2 years but just didn't feel I was recoveringxxx

Hi Diamond, thanks for replying to me. How are you doing? Do you have good days and bad or is every day a bad day? I'm due to see a counsellor for assessment on thursday and I'm scared they won't help me as my life's not in danger its not like I'm anorexic.... I'm really interested to hear how you get on with your counsellor? If you find any resources, books etc which help, pleeease tell me! Lots of love and wishing you recovery xxx

I really need help. I had bulimia as a young person and ever since then, binge eating disorder (i'm now 39). I need help but don't know what to do. I'm really tired and desperate to stop this but don't know how. Its been 25 years of abnormal eating and don't know if I even believe I can stop. Just feel really sad.
