Yesterday I received my Binge Eating Disorder diagnosis. It's been a tough couple of weeks since discovering BED but yesterday was confirmation and it hurt. I went to pick up my perscription and the insurance company decided to give me a hard time, of course so I don't know when I will get it. I''m hoping today so that I can at least begin some sort of treatment. 
I also scheduled an appointment with a therapist but that is a couple of weeks away. I was very discouraged and I could feel myself spiraling downhill into depression. I've been sleeping more than normal and it's hard to determine if it's my out-of-wack thyroid or the depression taking a hold of me. Gee, I have so many options to choose from. Last night I found this site and read some things other people are going through with ED's and  I was comforted by the kindness. I feel like I am a loser because I have all of these things wrong with me. I can't believe I just had another disorder added to the list. I know nothing about BED or how to deal with it. I just want to be normal if there is such a thing. 
By the time I was done on this site last night and found out my 8-year old went to sleep nicely and wouldn't be constantly getting up, which stresses me out to no end, I felt pretty good. I don't even know what triggered the lift in my spirit, I just started feeling better. I still feel good this morning and I am hoping it is a productive day.
