i was wondering if anyone else is like me. i usually dont eat all day and am sick by the evening. i binge eat every night, but i do not throw up. i take pills for nausia. im an emothional eater. ive gained over 75 lbs in a pretty short time. i dont eat durring the day because wene i eat i get sleepy and go to sleep immediatly. i eat dinner about 10 p.m. im allways sick. i have erosive gastritis and ibs w/constupation. i allways thought i was just a pig because i dont perge. i think i have a dissorder, maybe its rare or there is no name for it. anyone else have this problum? im new here and not a good typer or speller, sorry. looking for some help. i barely leave the house. i had to go to my grannys funeral, it was a big production and hardship for my ffamily just to find me something to were. its very imbarresing. i have one outfit. this has been going on for about 2 yrs. right after i lost job and had to go on dissability. looking for some help. thank you.

Hi gimmestrength,

I'm sorry you're having a rough time right now. There is an ED called Binge Eating Disorder, or BED, that sounds like what you're talking about. It is not rare at all, and there's lots of information about it online. Here is a good place to start:

I personally suffer from different behaviors, but all EDs are related on some level. This is a wonderful place full of supportive, caring people and I hope you find what you need here.

Hugs,
Ali

Gimmestrength, sounds like an eating disorder or at least problem eating, no matter what the label. If it makes you unhappy and is not the way you would like to eat, it is a problem. I don't know if the label is important but you are in pain and you want help. Not all eating disorders are specifically bulimia, anorexia, etc. Some are a combination of elements and may be called disordered eating. The good thing is that you recognize you have a problem and are hurting and are willing to reach out for help. Keep sharing and try to write your feelings in a journal. A lot of us have a lot of isolation and emotional pain and it helps to get it out in the open.
