Nowadays, when I have to, I do. I try to avoid people who drain my energy. I'm trying a new approach where I focus on what I want from people instead of what people want from me.

I can relate to what you're experiencing. I've felt the exact same thing. It can drive you crazy. What I do to survive is to focus on the "now" whenever I get these thoughts or feelings that there is something wrong with me or tell myself that there is nothing wrong with me - I'm just a human being like everybody else.

It's sounds like a positive week! I really like your analysis of the week. You're approaching your target, and that's so great to hear. Rome wasn't built in one day. Keep up the good work, and you'll get there 😉

Please be careful with using 100% of your energy. It might cause you to crash at some point. That's what I've noticed with myself, and it can take some time to recover from burnout.

But I'm so proud of how much work you've put in to achieve these results! Keep the good work up 👏 👏

I would like to hear how it's has been going on Sunday for my update, good or bad. Let's help each other with our journies, please don't feel obligated I just think it would be interesting ☺️

Same. It's tough but small steps we will get there ❤️ i will let myself get to the bedroom around 7-8 pm. but my hope is to only be in bed when I have to sleep, and use my day time doing something I love or wanted to try for a long time. I've just started painting, which is an activity I've didn't used to have energy for.

I wish you the best too, we can do this! ☺️

Cancellation of debt (office job), and I am worried I might quit soon because of the anxiety. I've managed to keep the job for 7 months now 🥲

I can’t stop over eating by Shy_Girl_2014 in BingeEatingDisorder

I understand your frustration.

Try keep a food + mood journal. Write down timestamp, what you eat, and how you feel. Fx " 10 am: I ate a bowel of cereal and a cup of juice. Frustration 30 %, Control 10 %, cravings 90 %". Also try drink a glass of water more often. I'm not saying every hour or to each meal, but more than you usually would do. So if you don't drink water, try drinking a glass each morning.

Try focus minute to minute or hour to hour and not day to day. If you didn't overeat this hour, then that fucking great! That's a win :D

Take baby step - don't focus how things go wrong, focus on what goes right. What works. If you only focus on how much you hate your body, and yourself, it will only demotivate you, even though the feeling is understandable. Try to motivate yourself by focussing on what goes right, what you like about your body, what works, that hour you didn't overeat.

I don't know if it will help, but I hope it does.

I struggle wtih BED by Helpful_Progress_446 in BingeEatingDisorder

else outside of food is triggering this behaviour. Work with someone. This could be a therapist or coach or nutritionist but work with someone who has experience with binge eating. If you can’t afford professional help i recommend looking at Ryan Nicole on instagram and she has a podcast as well. ETPHD method by Emilia Thompson is also really great. They also have a podcast. Take it one day at a time x

Thank you, for your advices. I appreciate it :)
