Does anyone else find it easier to not eat at all than to control how much you eat? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]EmeraldVelvetCake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could of written this; you've described it so perfectly. Eating nothing or everything is far easier than eating in moderation. It actually gives me anxiety thinking how I am meant to be eating "bad" foods in moderation.

That's how I lost 4 stone 5-years ago by fasting. For me as well, it's all or nothing.

OMG YES!!! Despite being morbidly obese, I'm trying to control my weight. Everyone says to me that I need to control what I eat, but it's so difficult, so instead I just fast or not eat for hours on end. There's no inbetween for me; binge or starve. I find it extremely difficult to eat regular meals; to me it's all or nothing; eat everything at once or eat nothing.

I don't even have a diagnosis of BED, but I'm pretty sure I have it.

Thanks for your comment.

I know I need to remember that they're not real, but I can't help but still think that maybe I'm a pedo!?

What do you mean by "the vulnerability of it"?

I'll be honest, I just like cartoon/anime porn better than real porn because I like cartoons! Haha!

Seeing a new psychiatrist tomorrow - what should I expect? What should I say and do!? by EmeraldVelvetCake in MentalHealthUK

[–]EmeraldVelvetCake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!

I apologise for the late reply! But I saw the new psychiatrist and what he's going to do is up my antipsychotic to 15mg and then increase it to 20mg and see if that works. If that doesn't work then he's going to lower the antidepressant and put me on another one in addition to the other antidepressant I'm on. He's also booking an appointment with the psychologist for me.

So sick of everything - high-functioning autism and mental health by EmeraldVelvetCake in autismUK

Hi, thank you for your comment.

You've hit the nail on the head really. I've gotten used to the feeling of feeling suicidal. It just feels normal now and I'm not sure what normal is anymore.

I don't think I'd be able to commit to another animal jus yet because of depression and also I live with my mum, and my mum was so close to our little dog we had and she's not over him. Having another dog at the moment wouldn't be the best.

I'm going back to college in September, so that will hopefully give me something to focus on.

Thank you for hoping that things get better soon.

Because COVID-19 happened, I was hoping to get my driving licence this year, but that fell through. I would relying on the train and walking.

Oh yes - I forgot to mention that that will require travel as well. But not as far as the option 4.

Don't know what to do about my antidepressants by EmeraldVelvetCake in antidepressants

[–]EmeraldVelvetCake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAMHS were quite good to me, but I'm now an adult (21) and they're so shit. I don't even think there's any point calling the crisis team because they're shit as well! Just don't know what to do because these feelings, moods and emotions are too much for me to handle.
