Binge eating/anxiety

TRIGGER

Latley when my boyfriend goes to work in brisbane and I am left home alone I have been constantly eating. I know and understand that I am full but I just want more and more, I really need support with this. I honestly don’t know how to help it, I understand that it may be for comfort but it doesn’t stop me from overeating. I’ve been looking in the mirror latley and I honestly am disgusted with how much weight I have put on. help if you can.

Dear Jade20~

I'd like to welcome you here to the Forum, it is was a good move on your part and as you can look around and you will see others in similar situations.

First off I"m glad to hear you have a boyfriend, it make a huge difference to have someone close. Perhaps it is that very closeness that raises fears as it means so much to you. For it to end would be unthinkable.

Worry of this sort can come out in many ways, and overeating is one frequently used. It dos not really help but you are sort of stuck into doing it. Then you are understandably unhappy with the results. and that make you regard yourself as less than you really are.

Trying to get out if this way of dealing with these things is hard, in fact on your own it may not be possible.  With another problem I could not. Can I suggest you get in contact with the Butterfly Foundation, they are knowledgeable, professional and comforting.

The fact you have come here is an excellent start and I'd be pretty certain you can change how you  react.

I, wiht another problem, could not 'fix' myself and it was only after I got competent medical help that I improved -not I'im a different person

Trying ot get out if this way of dealing with these things is hard, in fact on your own it may not be possible.

May I suggest you get some assistance? A first port of call an be the Butterfly Foundation
