I feel like binging numbs my anxiety and bad feelings…but the weight gain is causing anxiety and bad feelings too!

Hey there. I can relate to how you're feeling. I have pica(the habit of eating non-foods) and I keep munching on them while binging. The result is that I've gained a little weight and am at a somewhat similar place as you. But, I've resolved it and am working on losing weight.

I can't give you any advice, but I'd suggest choosing the more important thing. Health is something we can't neglect. As for the anxiety while we're not eating, do you want to try some coping mechanisms, such as switching to a diet food? Or make a ritual of doing X when you feel anxious?
