Binge eating in anorexia Recovery?

redLunch4107 January 9th, 2019

Hello again, everyone!

I feel like I'm going crazy, but I'm hoping maybe I'm not alone in this. I had a week recently, where I restricted a lot more than I usually do, which was already pretty strict. I lost more weight, and was really close to hitting my ultimate goal weight. However, since then I had to go home for holidays, where my parents monitored my eating... that kind of spiralled. I've been binging on and off for the better part of two weeks, and I gained about eleven pounds in a short period of time. I don't know if I'm transitioning into binge-eating disorder or if I'm just making up for the restriction. Either way, seeing all of that sudden weight gain is terrifying... I dropped out of school for a week because I was so ashamed. Is this normal? Am I just embracing a different kind of disorder?

Thanks for listening!
xx, Redlunch

@redLunch4107 I'm doing that too. After a long periode of restricting I will binge again and again. It sucks, and I don't know what to do either, so I will follow along here :)
