i've been struggling with binge eating for 3 years now, it's incredible how quickly time passes when you're consumed in something like this. I think one of the most frustrating things about the disorder is that, like any addiction, you are never recovered, always recovering. I refused to accept that for a while and just thought that I could fix it myself and everything would go back to normal. I just joined this community because I realize that I need support. I recognize myself so much in what you are saying about just wanting to live. I could give a lot of advice but one of the best things I could say(although it's general) is to just get up each day and do it again, life that is. If you keep taking steps forward than one day you will realize that you are living again. Find something to throw your passion and yourself into. I know this is so much easier said than done, and like I said it's not an answer because it will be a constant struggle. But once you stop fighting yourself, looking for quick fixes, and learn to be still for awhile, you will feel like you are living again, and the urges will get less and less because you realize the amazement of life. ( I know this is horribly wrong, I'm sorry). I've realized for myself that I am going to start eating from the earth. I think giving up processed and artificial foods is good for you in so many ways, mind, body, and spirit. I just know that when I feel I'm treating my body right and putting good things in I feel good myself. Also, working out is a great way to get empowered and feel strong. Think about this for a second....being able to really feel your core(in your stomach) gives you such power and center.....blocking all that with artificial food strays you from your spirit.

sorry this is so long, i guess i had a lot more to say than i realized.

thank you for your kind words of advice.
I know i will get there, one step at a time :) as we all will :)
