When I get stressed or sad or feel anxious, I overeat. I just at 10,000 calories in 2 hours and I feel disgusting. I've been doing this for months now. Does anyone having any coping methods for anxiety that isn't food? Does this happen to anyone else?

This is. Very common side affect to feeling stressed, sometimes you could get to a point where you do not even remember eating so much food, trust me when I say this, you will feel 10 times worse, I recommend when you feel the urge drink some cold water , take a deep breath And go for a long walk or jog, go back home , have a hot shower and one normal size meal! I bet you will feel better than before !

Hmm. You counted up what you ate. You counted up how long it took you to do this.

I think you've written out a plan of action, and a way to work through the process.

Find something to focus your attention on and work on it. Distraction will provide you a pattern of thought and help you find what might work.
