Struggling connecting with others with BED
Eating Disorder Support / by shadowmisfit
Last post

...See more I've probably had binge eating disorder since I was a kid, and it took up until last year (@ 20 years old) for me to put a name to it. It's super hard for me to discuss the bingeing & subsequent body image problems & fears of eating that all come along with it. I don't know anyone else who shares these struggles of BED, and the majority of people I know are so deeply programmed with fat shaming and food shaming as a default that I feel severely uncomfortable at the mere mention of body image or eating.  I feel like I would benefit a lot from being able to open up to people who have encountered similar experiences as me. I can't trust many people on talking about my longtime eating and body problems, and even the ones I have opened up to, I still struggle with too much guilt talking to people with normative eating and/or skinnier bodies. It sucks and it's illogical, but it's where I'm at right now after being alone and feeling like this was all my fault for years. If anyone would be willing to let me talk about my experiences regarding BED, and perhaps offer some personal insight, I would greatly appreciate it <3
