- I have several (5) anxiety disorders - everything from panic attacks to PTSD to general anxiety disorder, and more. It is really REALLY taken over my life, espcially in the area of being totally phobic about germs. I really only realized what was...
- I don't know if I'm over-reacting to a situation that just happened tonight. I'm in a long-term relationship with an alcoholic. At one point, he was sober for over a year, but then he fell off the wagon, about 3 months ago, because he went into a...
- So I touched on this a bit in another post, but wanted to write a post on it here, in case anyone has any advice or thoughts. Although I have been afraid that my AH would never get better, in the back of my mind, I think I always had the idea that...
- 3 or 4 days ago, he went on a binge, the first one in a year-and-a-half. There was a lot of arguing, crying, and we literally talked for almost 24 straight hours. I'm exhausted - pyysically, mentally, just exhausted. I was just started to feel a...
- My other half was sober for one and a half years, and then he went out with co-workers, drank himself into oblivion, blacked out, somehow got home, blacked out, and was as sick as a dog for 2 straight days. He missed work because of being blacked...
- I have been binge free for 1 month and 3 weeks, exactly. And I've been on a diet (a reasonable one, NOT a starvation diet) the whole time, and have been losing around 1 pound a week. So far I'd lost almost 8 pounds.......then, I step on the scale...
- What, you're thinking??? How can skittles HELP a diet? Ok, here's the thing. I've realized that I use food to console myself, and give myself a treat after a stressfull day (which is every day, for me). When I deprive myself of that treat, I binge....
- I'm realizing half my problem is not being prepared, not being stocked up with healthy food. Then, when I'm in a hurry or stresses or starving, instead of having something healthy on hand, I eat whatever is easy. And, somehow, easy food is never...
- It has been a crazy time, as I've been posting about. My boyfrined, who is a recovering alcoholic/drug-addict, has fallen off the wagon, and started drinking. And, even before that, I was at my wits end with him, because he can't manage to treat me...
- The latest problem in my never-ending relatinship problems: last week, he said he was getting sick, and then asked if I wanted to get together on the weekend. I said, well, if you're sick, no, because I don't want to get sick, so let me know. Okay,...
- I'm sure holidays (here in Canada, Thanksgiving) are a challange for many of us here. Well, today was Thanksgiving supper. I mean, not for me, but, for my room-mate. She had her mother and brother over, and made this huge meal, with all the...
- It's been a stressful week. And then, more boyfriend problems today. And then more stress. I realize that one of the times I want to binge is when I'm stressed, and I think to myself: I need as escape, a treat, a pick-me-up. I tell myself: you...
- I was good for a week, then binged. Grrrr. I've noticed something odd. I binge when I'm feeling really bad or anxious....but I also binge when I'm all excited about something! This time, I'd been having a terrible time of it with my bf, and, when we...
- I managed not to binge for almost a week, and then totally fell off the wagon. Cookies were devoured, etc. I was thinking about this today, and I realized something: I eat to deal with stress, so, how can I expect to just totally stop the one thing...
- Yesterday was day 6 of no binging for me.I was SO SO SO tempted. It was night (I'm always worse at night), my room-mate was asleep, and there was a big bag of cookies in the apartment. I almost did it. I felt myself starting to raltionalize...
