I've Been Binging...

[NeedingMercy]

I've been binging on food for 2 days. Yesterday, about an hour before church, I started having anxiety. I made it to church and lasted the whole time, but since then, I've been eating like there's no tomorrow. I'm not hungry, just eating to help curb the anxiety, which it's not really doing. Yet I continue to eat.

On a good note, tomorrow is my first appointment with my psychologist.

Tomorrow would also be my sister's 40th birthday (she died almost 20 years ago). I don't know if either event is connected to the binging, but it may be.

Anyhow, that's all for me for now. I hope that everyone is doing well!

Godspeed,
Ed

There is probably a connection between your sister's birthday and your anxiety. Bingeing is a symptom of BPD.

Ask your therapist to teach you self-soothing and to hold you accountable to it. That will help you cope with negative emotions without bingeing or any other acting out.

I totally understand because I have suffered from Binge Eating disorder, in addition to BPD.

God bless.
