I Need Help

[aries20]

i cant stop binging and my pdoc says that i have to go to see an eating disorder specialist at a nearby hospital but the referral can take a long time

i am struggling and i casnnot stop binging, i am trying to starve myself because i so want to be skinny

i want to die i really do i cannt stand living like this anymore i cannot stand being so fat

eating is out of control, i NEED to be in control

right thats it i am going to starve myself from tomorrow - no food for aries :(

the root of the problem is the binge/purge cycle google this and follow advice given. I had suffered with anorexia as an early teen and then bulimia for many, many years. You need to re-train your eating habits there is lots of support and information available in this section, have a read through. Sorry can't be of more help need to see to kids x

i cant be much help hun used to and still do to a part suffer from anorexia and bulimia. I understand how hard it is to get out of the habit its a completely different mindset your in to normal eating habits x

babe, i understand that you feel this way as i've felt it too. But starving yourself will not help. For starters, it'll make you ill, and secondly your metabolism will slow down if you starve yourself. Fat will be stored as your body goes into starvation mode, so the next time you eat you'll put it on faster. It would be much better if you exercised and ate lots of fruit and veg. I agree that you need to see an ed clinic. Thats a step in the right direction xxx

You're not being ignored hun... prob just ED section doesnt get viewed that much...

I can't really advise because im a starver too and know sweet FA about any help or psychology behind it.... all I know is that when you starve the body, you also starve the brain and it prevents it producing healthy chemical levels and MAJORLY contributes to emotion dysregulation.. my former DBT Therapist was also an ED specialist and used to stress that not eating regularly is one of the worst things someone with a "severe mental illness" can do. So you may feel bad at feeling like you are fat.. but your gonna feel even worse not eating.. also not eating at all only puts the body into starvation mode, causing it to store fat, and u will put on weight.

[aries20]

i cant control it anymore im weak to it xxxx

Reason you can't control it is that it is shoved down into your unconscious thinking. Not where it belongs at all. I'm reviewing this psyche thing right now so I'm on a theme in all my answers on here lately.

I suffer from an EDNOS too and feel terribily out of control with it. Kind of a paradox since the reason we all do it is an attempt to regain control of things that are in the unconsious mind.

Try some deep breathing. Reason I say that is because breathing is also in the unconscious mind in that you don't have to think to breathe, but you can change your breathing and control it!

Also with an ED, never starve yourself. It just makes your binging worse! It makes your weight worse and your mood worse. It adds to rather than helps the whole issue.

Better off eating three smaller meals a day. Keep up with the excercise and keep your MH team informed about your thoughts and feelings. I will have to address this next time I see my MH team which I have no idea when that is. maybe we can take this step together! Write it all out so you have it in hand and ready. things tend to get scrambled in therapy sessions.

H aries, I havent read much about you as I am not often on the forum, but I wonder: are you taking any neuroleptics? I know when I did I gained sooooo much weight because I was constantly hungry. I am taking them again, and cant control eating, I binge atm too. Just a guess.
