• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have been throwing up at least once a day because I felt so guilty after binging on chocolate biscuits. I know that three weeks isn't a long time but I have started noticing the effects already - bloating, bowel problems, teeth sensitivity, drier hair, and spottier skin. I feel so gross and it has really been making me feel exhausted and weak. I didn't throw up today or yesterday, it just is too damaging to my health..yes I still get tempted but I know that I won't anymore because it isn't good for me.

I'm just going to try and eat healthier so that I won't feel guilty about eating.

Nope, not been to doctors.

The last week has been hard for me. There has been a lot of chocolate and sugary foods in the house :(. Also, it was heavy snow and ice outside so I couldn't take my long walks and now that the snow has gone I can't go out due to needing to get another asthma inhaler first and the docs don't open till wednesday :(

Praying for you, sweetie.
It's very good that you recognise that you have a problem - that's a huge first step.
Please try to get some professional help now, before things get worse. I know that may be scary, but it is important - you are important and you need to look after yourself. :hug:
