@cuteOrange213 Hi, I'm Ravenclawdancer. I'm currently struggling with body dysmorphia, restrictive eating, and extreme anxiety related to food and eating.
@cuteOrange213 hi, my name is aly. my ed started when i wanted to lose weight. i did really well but after i reached my goal i wanted more. i struggled with anorexia, body dysmorphia, then binge eating as well as body dysmorphia. i still struggle with some binge eating and mostly body dysmorphia but i am in recovery and doing better. its just really hard
Hi I have fully recovered from distorted eating and I feel great about myself that I am eating all 3 meals and not skipping any than before. And I am so proud of myself for recovering!! 😊😄😊😄
Hi my name is claire and I struggle with restricted eating and looking forward to this group to support me in my journey to recovery.
Hi, Claire! 💗 you’re so brave to be here. I struggle too. It’s good to know that we’re not alone in the fight.
I agree
Hi we are all here to support you forever in this journey love yourself ♥️
Hi!! I’ve struggled with Eating Disorders and other mental health issues for years. I bounce between the very restrictive end and the binging end. Lately I’ve been transitioning from the binging phase to the restrictive phase.
And it highly affects how I view myself and my body, I feel big discomfort in my own body, don’t want to Inter at with people, go to the store or have work videocalls because of how I look and feel about it. I do it anyway but it’s mentally draining.
I already reached out to a therapist but there’s a queue before me so I’m unsure when I’ll be scheduled exactly. I know I need professional help to get better but I’m also so afraid of it.
Hoping for a better, healthier, happier future 💕
@holdingtohope you are not alone! all of September I would count my calories and be obsessed with my weight and I would skip 1 meal per day and would only drink coffee for breakfast. currently I have stopped with weighing myself on the scale and stopped counting calories and it has been the best thing that I could ever do. I have also been eating more and I am not restrictive eating anymore. Hopefully this helps on your road to recovery.
Hey, I've been struggling with eating disorder since two years. Most of the times, I binge eat or stress eat uncontrollably. I hope to do better in the future with all of your support. Glad to be here!
Hello i'm matt, i'm not sure if i have an ed or not but i don't have a good relationship with food. i always feel guilty every time i eat and i tend to overeat most of the time. i also feel uncomfortable in my own body and sometimes disgusted by it because the amount of negative comments people say to me. i am trying my best to fix it and i hope this community can make my journey less lonely.
Hello, I'm Aly. I've been struggling with eating disorders for quite some time. I'm in recovery but lately I've been slipping a bit and fell back into old habits. I want to get back on track but I'm not sure how to do it by myself.
Hi, I'm Ling. I have been struggling with eating disorder for 5 years. Currently in recovery. I have been eating well again. Stop myself from weighing and also stop counting my calories. It's hard something as habits and guilt will comes back. I'm still fighting over it. All the best to all!
TW: Hi did not eat for part of last year went to mental ward
I over eat when I am stressed, fearful or have anxiety. I eat until I feel better and sometimes feel food is my only friend. I hide food and eat it when I am by myself. Seeking help to hopefully overcome this.
Hi my name is Trista, I haven't really been diagnosed with anything but I would still like to control the way I eat and how I feel about eating. I might struggle with moderate B.E.D and it has been going on for about 2.5 years but it really actually started 6 years ago it's just it is just within the last 2 years it started to really take off and get worse. How it mainly works for me is I'll go into the kitchen (not hungry) and get let's say a banana, then while eating the banana o will look for more food I would make myself toast or a bowl of cereal or both. Once I've finished eating that I would go back into the kitchen and pick one of each granola bar because I couldn't choose, and grab some bread and put some butter on it. I would take all those eat it while watching TV right before bed.
