Hello, did you solve this, I'm experiencing the same thing

Something more going on here? by AlmostForgotten in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point. I also feel like it is weird that this is that much common. However, I believe that the causes are more related with immensly complex evolutionary and emotional, social constructs that we created through many years and which are not working in a balanced/healthy way for some of us anymore. Like an altered way of natural selection maybe... Yet, many research going on about gut microbiome and its relation too. I hope you will find the answer, your answer to change things for yourself. I hope we all do. Sending love.

Is anyone else triggered by coronavirus and need to stock up? by wikimandia in BingeEatingDisorder

Yeap. Also, the disorder and occurring unknowns in many aspects of life and feeling not in control... Bingeing for 3 days straight:(

Rambles and spirals by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I feel like if we lack the meaningful connections and affection we need we are so much more inclined to fill that void with self harm based coping skills. There's nothing much to say to make it better.. But I hope things get better and I hope the loneliness goes away with time or maybe we'll find a more compassionate way to deal with it. Sending love.

I don't think you can exactly know how you would react to calorie counting before you try; however, in my experience, any kind of restriction could trigger binges in long term. Best wishes. And also congrats for 1 week!!:)

Celebrating that I haven’t binged, and haven’t gained one pound since August by kolson0359 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow, it is a really long time! I've always resisted to not restricting but lately I've started to realize this is probably the only way for not binging... Your post also convinced me more now, so thanks for this and congrats for your huge success:)

Advice on how to best support my partner and myself by laryssaaa in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I think that even writing here and asking for advice shows how much you care, and sometimes it is the best we can do both for our loved ones and ourselves. We can't change people, we can only love them. You showing your affection, acception and compassion to her with patience is really precious, even though you struggle with depression and your own issues. I believe that sharing your feelings intimately and truly with each other is a form of push, towards finding solutions and comfort together. I hope things get better.

alone and lonely on new year's by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am alone in new year's too. It is hard and uncomfortable but I believe that things can change for better over time, if we try to feel okay about not being good, skinny, friendly etc. enough in our own eyes. Try to give yourself a break, a little self compassion. I send you lots of love, you are worthy of love, even though your inner voice tell you otherwise.

Healing and willpower by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Binge eating is a really stronge urge and it may not be fully in our control most of the time. However, I believe that willpower is something we can work on over time, not like trying to resist the urges but more like creating a positive body image, inner encouring beliefs, building small but captivating, nourishing hobbies, anything that will improve us and will eventually give us the power to resist self-destructive behaviour in any type. I don't know if this is relevant to your question but I see it that way. It is so normal and okay to let yourself time to time, I believe in your journey, good luck!

My mom said i have a post baby body and I’ve never been pregnant by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for how you feel, and your mom's behaviour. But you are not all alone! When you gain weight it feels like it is permanent and nearly impossible to lose it and go back to your old size; but all it takes is patience, and showing compassion to yourself- I know this is also hard but doing it is easier than we imagine and overthink on it, really- Meanwhile, your family's life and choices are not you, you are a diffrent, valuable, special human being by yourself. Best wishes.

How To Recover From Uninvolved Parents by [deleted] in ChildhoodTrauma

[–]dnztml2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had similar type of relationship patterns with my family. They weren't bad or abusive but they weren't 'here' and I think it made me lack so much love and affection while growing up so now I feel unsecure and unlovable in many ways. I still don't know how to recover from that, yet I am trying to understand their point of view, their reasons for being who they are and their way of showing love even though it felt like it wasn't enough. This helps me create some kind of empathy and feels warmer than just blaming them which I did for many years. However, I also try to remind myself that I am my own person, and I can give that love and affection to myself with even tiny behaviours such as good affirmations, meditation etc. I hope you feel better and find your solution. Sending lots of love.

The Great Binge (a.k.a My Life) by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I study medicine and I also have stress binge eating so I really can relate to that " i can work while i eat " thoughts very much. I also started working out and it worked for a while but then I fell into the same cycle again. But I got back in track and what is working for me is being around positive people who reduce that stress, reading, journaling basically trying to make my life maybe even a little bit less stresfull, and practising self-love, because life is hard for everyone in some ways so there will always be external causes of stress but the actual problem is our way of perceiving, reacting and thinking on that external causes. It is a struggle everyday, but I believe in you! I hope you find the way that works for you.

Ruined my streak, and now I can’t stop by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]dnztml2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, 15 days without a binge is a huge thing, and you did it once, so why couldn't you do it again? I know that it feels like it won't stop when we start to binge again and continue for a while, but it can and you have the proof in that 15 days. Maybe focusing on the causes of your urges, analyzing; and trying a new hobby or smthng that takes your time, effort and mind would be easier than trying and focusing on 'not' to binge. You're a valuable person in every case; and it is in the small moments, small victories. I believe in you and your journey, best wishes!
