I have the feeling to binge eat. Something is wrong with my cat, she went to the vet yesterday for a check up and the vet found something wrong with her. I'm so upset and want to cry and now I keep getting the feeling to binge eat, I hate this so much. I can't make it go away because I need her to be ok. I don't know what to do.

Oh no, I’m so sorry about your cat. Maybe it’s not bad and he/she will be ok. Bingeing won’t help, the scared feeling will still be there. Maybe talk to someone or distract yourself instead. Hugggssss

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. Pets are family so it makes sense that you're upset. During times of crisis, it's normal to want to fall back on ED and on food to comfort us-kind of to make the intensity of all the other feelings to go away.

It may be good to talk with a friend or school counselor, draw or journal if you're up to it.

Lots of prayers for your kitty. Hang in there.
