I think I have this - don't know what to do
I have all the symptoms of this and emotional over eating disorder (Neither of which I realised were actual eating disorders until this weekend).
I don't know if I need to see my gp or not. I currently have a counsellor and I have talked a little about my disordered eating habits but is that enough?
I also don't feel I can tell my husband and I'm feeling so alone with it. I feel like if it had been anorexia or bullemia it would be different as they are well known.
I had a panic attack today going to the shops because I had already decided I wasn't going to binge. Then I had a panic attack because I didn't.
I feel so messed up.
Help!
In an ideal world if you are talking to a professional counsellor about all this, then you should be able to rely on your counsellor to refer you for more specialized help if that's what you need. In reality not all counsellors are very familiar with all the disorders that exist, so talking to your GP might be a good idea just to make sure of things. No one on the Internet can make a diagnosis or step in and provide direct help or advice, but I hope you've found listeners here who you can talk to about everything that's been troubling you. If you'd like to talk to me, just send me a message.
