Recovery

...See more I want to ask, how did you recover? What was your reason? Does anyone actually know how to recover? I’ve been battling overeating for a while, mostly I’ve just had thoughts about it, and not actually gave in. It’s either my favorite food or mostly candy. I feel that my situation is very different from others, cause I also have ARFID, you don’t hear much about that together with food addiction. I have tried contacting specialists, apparently there’s the longest wait in history, and I think there’s a pretty big chance of being invalidated by them. I usually know what the problems are, I always figure it out, but not this. It has to be some psychological issue? I’ve noticed that I forget about other stuff when I do something I REALLY like to do, including forgetting about food. But distracting myself only seems like a temporary solution to a huge problem. I deter away from this site a lot, cause it’s probably more effective to get help IRL, but since I have to wait multiple months for help, I’m asking here. Should I get a therapist? If so, would it be better to get one that focuses on food? My problems may not lie with food, but more with some things I have other places. It’s a tiring journey to find the right help. I want to ask, how did you recover? What was your reason?

...See more I don’t have any issues with who I am as a person or feel that I’m doing anything wrong. I just feel trapped, I’m a teen and can’t get anywhere on my own. My mom is making me suicidal, how tf do I get away from her.

...See more I haven’t been able to find anyone who’s in the same boat. I feel that no one else takes food addiction seriously. I know I am an addict but I don’t know what to do about it. I need someone to help me. i cry when I can’t find anything to eat. I have mental breakdowns when it comes to food. I am a “picky eater” aka I think I have ARFID, which definitely makes this more complicated. I am in recovery from depression but I don’t know how to start recovering from FA

...See more Does anyone else deal with food addiction? I feel isolated cause it’s not something that is talked about often. It’s proven that withdrawals from food addiction can and often do look the same as from other common addictions, like alcohol, drugs, gambling and such. But I feel like everyone is so quick to judge and blame me then they are for other addictions. People treat fat people horribly, like we’re not people, with feelings.  People look at me and feel disgust, while they have empathy for others. Were people too.
