I can’t stop binge eating... help

[ch90]

Hi everyone. I don’t know who else to talk to and am brand new to this platform, but I have a horrible habit of binge eating before my period. To be honest it’s recently turned into an “all the time” thing rather than just before my period. I can’t stop eating in the evening. I go on and on and on, even though I feel full and sick and hate myself, I’m so aware of what I’m doing but if I stop eating I feel on edge. I have tried all the tricks people say: keep food in the cupboard, drink plenty of water, eat slowly, identify WHY you want to eat, distract yourself with something else, exercise etc etc I’ve tried EVERYTHING and nothing is working. I want to eat until I feel sick and if I don’t I feel so on edge. I’m at my wits end and don’t know what to do. It’s making me miserable.

I found my self eating and snacking just to be doing it until I realized I was just feeding my feelings. I know Wellbutrin can help some people with that, but getting to the bottom of what is possibly got you trying to satiate yourself physically, instead of emotionally may need some time with a therapist to understand what's going on.

Hello, I agree, first talk with a therapist that is familiar with your infliction, also our monthly cycles can play havoc with our body's, I used to crave chocolate about 2 times a year, I also used to get migraine headaches, more and more is being learnt about these tricks the brain plays on us. Go on line see if you can find any quality info. Your gynecologist should be up to date on these issues also, if not find another one. You have my empathy, sending you healing love and Hugs.
