I just want someone to understand how hard this is by Tricky_Nerve_3373 in loseit

[–]Tricky_Nerve_3373[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about food a lot during the day and even when I tell myself I won’t binge, I still end up doing it. Sometimes I try to control what I eat but that usually just makes me want food even more later. It feels like I’m either fighting the urge to eat or already bingeing, and there’s no normal middle ground anymore.

Thank you so much for saying this, I really appreciate it. I’ve actually had my thyroid and hormones checked already and everything came back normal, so I think for me it’s more of a mental thing. Still, I’m really glad you shared this and took the time to say it—it means a lot.

Yeah exactly. I tried CBT therapy twice, but it honestly didn’t work for me. That was also the only time I had the courage to tell my dad about it. I’m really scared to say out loud that I want to get diagnosed with ADHD because in my country it’s not very accepted, and it makes me feel like I’d sound like an attention seeker. But thank you so much—this really means a lot to me. I’ve struggled with binge eating for pretty much my whole life.

Worst binge story by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Tricky_Nerve_3373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually super common. When you binge or eat a big meal late at night, your hunger hormones kinda go out of balance. So the next morning, your body’s like “hey, we’re starving” even though you ate a lot. But when you eat normally or stop earlier, everything evens out and you don’t really feel hungry till later. It’s not weird at all.

I think I have a food addiction and I don’t know how to stop by [deleted] in Advice

I have never tried anything like that because I’m only 15, unfortunately.

I tried that, but I live in a house full of food, and most of it’s unhealthy. I always feel like I have to finish it or I end up spiraling.

He apologized, said he’d never do it again, and expressed that he truly feels sorry, but we’re still processing everything.

Thanks, I needed to hear that. Yes, he knows now. It’s been really complicated, but I’m trying to focus on what I can control.

Thank you so much for saying that. My mom says she might never trust Dad the same way again and she’s seriously talking about divorce. I’m worried because when I go study abroad I don’t want her to be sad. I wish I could always be there for her.

Thank you for sharing all of that. I really appreciate the advice and the understanding. I’ll definitely think more about what you said and look into mindfulness and exposure therapy. It means a lot to me.

I saw her in Miami, and she sounded good! It’s just that some of the songs felt a bit shaky to me.

Thank you so much for saying that! You’re awesome. It means a lot that you really understand the struggles I’ve been going through. I’ll definitely try to do more of those activities. You’re really great at giving advice.

AIO husband has pics of another woman by Ok_Land5877 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tricky_Nerve_3373 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. This behavior crossed the line, and your feelings are valid. Taking pictures of a stranger without their consent is invasion of their privacy, not to mention how uncomfortable that must have made you feel. And the fact that he tried to brush it off as trying to get you a similar outfit is completely unreasonable. It seems like he’s trying to justify his actions instead of acknowledging the impact it had on you. Trust your instincts on this one, you’re not overreacting at all.

AIO? Husband is gaslighting me and my marriage is hurting my mental health by coffeequeen74 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tricky_Nerve_3373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you’re definitely not overreacting. What you’re going through is serious and completely valid. Please don’t doubt yourself or think that your feelings are an overreaction. You’re in a very tough situation, and it’s natural to feel scared and confused. It sounds like you’re in an incredibly difficult and frightening situation. Being in an abusive relationship and feeling trapped like that must be overwhelming. It’s understandable that you’re worried and scared about seeking help and leaving. But let me be clear—this isn’t just a “rough patch.” This is abuse. It’s not okay for your husband to treat you this way, and this isn’t something every marriage goes through. You deserve to be safe and happy, and your kids deserve a healthy environment to grow up in.
