About Me
I am currently studying psychology Bsc. I have had a problem with food for many years. It is only recently that I realised that I probably have an eating disorder. I use food for my emotions and it makes me feel ugly, and out of control. I regularly binge on bad food and am putting on weight fast. I currently take SSRI's to try and curb the bingeing.

Support Groups
Close Eating Disorders
I have been told that I have an eating disorder becuase I binge on food and use it to control my emotions. I have a very unhealthy attitude to food which I can't seem to combat. I have had this problem for many years but there isn't much help.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- GP put the dose up to 100mg but it just made me want to sleep all of the time, and made my emotions feel numb, so I dropped the dose to 50mg again. It seems to be working fine now. Although, I still get out of control with eating sometimes.
Close Depression
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- I have had the dose put up to 100mgs 2 days ago to see if it helps eating disorder. Just feeling tired at the moment.
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- I was suffering very badly from OCD in my early to mid 20's. CBT helped me a significant amount. I still have residual symptoms but I was given the coping strategies that I needed so much.
Open Dyslexia
I was diagnosed with dyslexia at 31 years of age last Christmas. I guess it wasn't recognised as much in my school days as it is now. However I was obviously dyslexic. I didn't really have an education but somehow I have managed to get into an excellent university to study psychology - how did that happen. Anyway, I have struggled with the degree but am now receiving the support that I need, so hopefully next year will be better.
Treatments
- Vision Therapy Working / Worked
- I recently went to have the colour matched to my preference, and go for the glasses in a couple of weeks. My colour is blue and it is helping so far.
