I have an eating disorder: HELP



Recommended Posts

I was diagnosed with having binge disorder. Its so hard for me to lose the weight and stop the binges. Any advise? Im looking for a counselor who specialize in this but even that's difficult. I so badly want and need this surgery. I know it would be a tool in the weight loss process but right now I feel like I have no control help I told the therapist that is on my team we spoke about it I need an outside person to talk to.

I was also diagnosed with B. E. D. - I am not a therapist, but I'd be happy to be a friend :-)

If you pursue therapy, you might have good results with a CBT (cognitive behavioral therapist). CBT is showing promise in treating addictive behaviors. Here's some general information - I like that they address dysfunctional thinking as well dysfunctional behavior.

I strongly recommend more counseling before you consider this surgery. I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia post op. Its something I wish I addressed a long time. But I didon't realize how bad it was.

Highly underrated post.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
