I am happy to have found you guys. This looks like a safe place to get and give support for recovering from eating disorders. I am currently struggling with binge eating, and some purging. The holidays certainly didn't help. Made me feel totally out of control. I have had some success in the past with mindful eating and also with the program in the book Overcoming Binge Eating. I think it is by Christopher Fairburn. I plan on going back to it again. It sure is hard work dealing with this.
Wish you all a happy new year and hope we all find relief from this struggle
Welcome to the site! I just started on here a week or so ago and i also got a book im reading along with therapy to help if you never need to talk or vent feel free, my holidays were also a trainwreck but im finally back on track, i hope for a long time, but welcome i hope things start looking up for you soon!
Happy New Year! Hopefully we all can stay on the right path.
Last night I had a breakdown. I binged until I couldn't binge no more. I'm not proud of this. I feel so disgusting every time I realize what I'm doing! I feel helpless!
The last few days were hard for me too, I know what you mean when you say you aren't proud, there is so much shame that I feel too. But, knowing I am not alone in this does help. At times I feel helpless even though I know I am not but it feels that way and at times I feel powerless to stop the binges. Maybe we can figure out what works together and show compassion for each other as we work through it.
Welcome! Glad you're here with us. :)
Krazy Cayce and Paddlesup - sorry to hear you both have been struggling. While time is finite, its never too late to start moving forward! Take one step at a time, there is absolutely no need to rush. Each step taken in good faith is one closer to your goal. And because you aren't rushing it won't hurt if you crash at times. :P Everything you ever learned in this life this far, you learned by taking one step at a time. Therefore, everything that you relearn (love, acceptance, courage, trust, ect.) is deserving of the same care and patience. You are worthy of all the good this world has to offer!! hang in there!
message anytime!
