struggling

It sounds like you’re going through an awful lot right now. Would you like to start a 1-1 chat? Or if it interests you I’d be more than happy to refer you to a professional 7 cups therapist?

@elisa0000 It can definitely feel scary after a binge - the feeling of being out of control then can make it seem like that could happen again. But the best way to avoid binging is not to get into a binge/restrict cycle - not eating when you're hungry is more likely to make you overdo it when you do eat. In my experience, after a binge, it's important to acknowledge that it happened, try to understand if there are any triggers you could avoid or things you could do differently next time, but then to forgive yourself and move forward without punishing yourself for it - letting yourself eat a healthy amount going forward rather than trying to restrict.
