I feel my binge eating is way out of control. I’m consuming loads of food and I feel sick to the point I want to throw up but can’t .does anyone know how to stop ?
I have learned through years of healing that ED's are coping mechanisms so we don't have to feel. At some point in our lives it became unsafe to express our emotions so we kept them inside. But not feeling is very hard to do so we find a way to cope. Some drink, take drugs and others develop an ED. Binge eating takes all those strong emotions and pushes them down so we don't have to feel them. I had to learn how to feel again. Then I had to learn what each feeling was and express them safely. This was not easy but it was worth it because now I express my emotions rather than eat them or starve them away. You can heal an ED and you deserve to heal.
