Food Addiction Support Group

An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...

Who do you lean on?

Call it a clan, call it a network, call
it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever
you call it, whoever you are, you need
one.

This is a tough one because if i am really in self destructive mode i cut off from those who can help me the most. So i think for me the person i lean on the most is myself.
However my best friend is always there for me it is just a pity about the distance.
Great discussion post!

like Billy - i tend to isolate myself when i start to spiral downward, and i know exactly why. i hear my father's voice saying, 'you're not fit for company'. but .... BIG BUT .... there is no reason for me to still be living by his rules. so it is up to be to break this habit - so ingrained, it feels like the most natural response. it feels like the 'right' thing to do. but i know it's not cause of how much worse i get.

AND i have a wonderful clan - my roommates - i live with four people - all of whom are warm, caring, open and supportive people who will drop everything to let me lean on them a bit.

so .... i am learning - and it's hard, cause it still feels scary and somehow 'wrong' to seek out company when i am in a dark ugly place - to reach out and ask for help.

I have hidden out for so long there is no one around. But I am always looking for a friend just to be around on the computer

I mostly lean on my Husband and a few good friends, and DS. However there ARE sometimes I just hole up, and hide. like TODAY for me! LOL. Sometimes I think its a good thing to decide you are less than great company for a while. For me it works GREAT. That way I don't go out and say something dumb somewhere just because I am upset.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
