struggling with BED
I find myself going back to constantly eating out of boredom, anger, sadness, or just to eat. I’ll eat a meal and then finish and look in the fridge for more food even though i’m completely full from the new I just ate. I eat and then feel bad about it and eat more and i’ll eat until i’m sick or so uncomfortable. I don’t really know what to do to about it or how to stop. I’m aware of the issue and I try my hardest to resist the urges but I’ll end up caving.

Hi! That sounds frustrating, when your behaviour is different to what you want it to be. Is it in response to uncomfortable emotions? Sometimes we don't learn how to deal with emotions so we develop coping mechanisms, which turn into addictive behaviours themselves. It can help to learn to recognise those emotions that come - boredom, anger, sadness etc, and then learn how to deal with those directly. It might be different process for you for each one? Big hugs!
