Hi, I recently was diagnosed with binge eating disorder.. my psychiatrist said it was caused by stress and I didn't have the heart to tell her I have been binge eating for years and its just gotten worse recently. I get so upset with not being able to stop eating, I went from a size 0 to a size 7 in just a few months which can be really hard on a teen girl. Anyway sorry for rambling I just thought I would introduce myself.

Hello. Sadly, I can relate to you..i'm only 19 and i've been struggling with BED for years now, and it has also gotten worse. I live in Portugal, where eating disorders basically don't exist..so I'm really ashamed to ask for help, and besides, i don't have the money. my weight has also increased, and that makes me feel..disappointed. Anyways, I'm sure both of us and everyone else will eventually get over our problems!
I sure hope so, I am glad both of us have found this site, I am also very ashamed about this and getting support like this makes it so much better.
Hey, I don't know exactly what it's like to have binge eating disorder, but from experiencing other things in my life, personally, I think that going to a school counselor/therapist is very helpful. But, since the school year is ending that might not be able to happen until next year. You should be honest with your psychiatrist though because they're there to help you! :) <3 Stay strong!!
@caitybear67 Thank you so much, I am actually going to a therapist soon, Thank you so much for the support.
