I’ve had a binge eating disorder for almost six years. I can’t be trusted with food in my own home- even if it belongs to others I will eat it. When I have money to spend it always goes on food- the more the better. My weight has increased dramatically, I used to have very well controlled diabetes it is not the case anymore. I don’t remember to check my bloods as much as I should. I have a lot of self-hatred and guilt.
I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist for ages but he is only just putting me on the first medication which might help my ED by decreasing appetite. I have seen two psychologists who were both unhelpful and am waiting to see a third, but have been waiting since December.
I don’t know what I want from this post, I’m just fed up, and very angry that it is taking so long for them to even start treating me. No one seems to know what to do, where to go, and I feel the longer it goes on the more tired I get and the more my energy to fight is depleted... it would be really great to hear from others like this, how do you cope?
