Idon't know if anyone will read this, but I could use some help.
I had a falling out with my best friend about two months ago (no chance of reconciliation) and have been stuck in a depression ever since and have begujn to eat as a form of punishment.
I have put on almost 6kgs in two months and I am so disgusted with myself that I continue to eat unhealthy food as punishment.
I can't break the cycle and I am destroying myself.

Georgie Belle,
Welcome to the forum. I am sure many cna relate to what you wrote.
There is a thread titled Can binge eating be a form of self harm?
You may find some interesting posts there that you can relate too.
Do you feel guilty that you had th falling out? )
Have you tried apologising to your friend . THese are just suggestions and may not suit you.
Have you used food to punish yourself before?
As you can see if you read the thRead I mentioned many people struggle with food.
I feel it may be help if you can find a way to forgive yourself.
Feel free to post here if you want to.
