Just joined. Feel isolated and alone . binge eating keeps me in a very dark place of depression and shame. It doesn't make any sense to me and there seems little help. Unable to find a local support group. No one seems to understand, even though they are sympathetic. I wish I was an alcoholic or drug addict. These would be recognized and validated addictions. And plenty of Rehab sources.
You always have us on here, have you looked into going to a therapist? That is what my psychiatrist suggested for me. This will be a long battle but I will fight with you against this and help in any way I can.
I know exactly what u r saying about being an alcoholic I have thought the same thing! I fe that atleast an alcoholic is better excepted. My mom and therapist completely disagree with me. We r all going to be okay b/c we have come to this site proving that we have what it takes to get better. In a sense I guess we r the lucky ones! For me, eating and throwing up is the most horrifying embarrassment but the next day I tell myself that it is a new day and I am going to live I the present. We r all here....
Im here if you ever need to talk. I understand how you feel i'm going through he same thing right now. It's so hard.
