About Me
I'm a college student pursuing a biology major and environmental studies concentration. The reason I'm here is because I have problem with food obsession. I've been dealing with my eating disorder(s) (bulimia and BED) for several years now, and being in college makes it more difficult to control. I'm really trying to regain my health and need as much support as I can find.

Support Groups
Close Food Addiction
I think about food so often that it seems to dominate many of my intentions and plans. It's a big problem because I tend to binge and restrict a lot.
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Too Soon to Tell
Close Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaI was once anorexic, and now I have mild bulimia and BED. I think it all stems from my anxiety about perfection. I've learned to let go of a lot of it, but now that I've established a long-time pattern of over/undereating, it's really hard to control myself.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Just starting in a support group. It really feels comforting to be there and know others are going through similar struggles.
- Positive Thinking Too Soon to Tell
Open Depression
I have anxiety depression. I'm really self-conscious and unassertive about myself because I feel that I'm just not great at anything in life. I feel that there's always so many others out there who am better than I am, and that I can't find a role for myself. My depression has caused me to use symptoms of my eating disorder to deal with it, which just makes it worse. I'm hoping that I can start seeing the positive in life and in myself, and stop being so nervous about failing at everything.
