Q: developing eating disorder bingeing

asked by: lexio on February 2nd, 2008

I am a 20 year old female who is depressed at current. I am struggling with various issues and what makes its worse is i have no one to talk to. I am not concerned about the depression as i know i can beat it with a few descions and lifestyle changes and in a few weeks/months ill be fine. I am really worried though as because ive lost control over life, i am trying to control my food intake and am worried that i am developing an eating disorder but i have to be in control of some area of my life. At current, i am not eating and then may have a binge on something. I am not purging though.

Has anyone any advice?

You are not alone. This is very common. Many of us eat when we are depressed. Yet others have no appitite at all during that time. Are you one any antidepressents? Do you have a counsler? If you don't, might not be a bad idea to find one to help you through this. You can take control of you life and everything else. It takes your willpower also. Just remember you will always have control over your life and you will always have a choice in it too.
