In need of some support
Hey, I'm 19 and from london. I've been suffering from BED for the last 4 months and it's completely taken over my life. I'm hoping there's someone out there who can help me with some coping mechanisms for how to prevent binges xx
@Charlottehowe123 oh I am so sorry :'( I have never experienced bulimia, but it must be horrible. I know that you may feel like you aren't beautiful enough the way you are, or like your worth depends on your weight, but you are beautiful how you are. I don't know you, but if something bad happened to you I would probably start crying <3 you are strong <3
@Charlottehowe123 There are tons of coping mechanisms and you can find them on Pinterest or similar sites if you don't find one you like here. Because nothing is universally effective, don't be afraid to try things that may seem weird or unpopular. As long as they work and aren't harmful, you are doing the right thing
Something that helps me personally is listening to music, aroma therapy (such as peppermint or lavendar oil, because both have a calming effect), or simply keeping busy. Just keep fighting, dear! You'll find the right one.
