Out of Control
Posted: 04-12-05 18:46pm

Today I binged even though I promised myself I wouldn't. I ate so much and then I made myself throw up a little bit. I couldn't because my mom cam home and she would find out. Right now I feel horrible, I don't feel lke doing my hw or anything. I just want to cry. I just want to bethin, I always had control over my eating but for the past few months, I have been binge- eating constantly. I don't know how i'm going to stop this, i'm afraid i'm going to die. What shoul I do to stop these binges from occuring?

Binges are hard to stop, you've gotta ttack the reason your binging, the reason we binge is because of other problems around us.

no one knows for sure what causes binge eating disorder. As many as half of all people with binge eating disorder are depressed or have been depressed in the past. Whether depression causes binge eating disorder or whether binge eating disorder causes depression is not known.

what is needed is a change of your view on eating, thats where a psychologist comes in:

cognitive-behavioral therapy teaches people how to keep track of their eating and change their unhealthy eating habits. It teaches them how to change the way they act in tough situations. It also helps them feel better about their body shape and weight.

Interpersonal psychotherapy helps people look at their relationships with friends and family and make changes in problem areas.

Speak to your gp (doctor) about it, to stop e.D's you gotta change your attitude and ya need support. Also speaking to others is essential, you need the support from famlies.

Your saying it yourself you dont want your mum finidng out, you scared and worried etc, if so, thats just gunna add to your worry. When you reach out ot people it feels liberating and is the basis of the start of ending your e.D's
