ED
I'm 17 years old. I've been struggling with binge eating disorder. It all started when I was 13 and I wanted to loose weight. I was already thin back then but I didn't like the number on the scale. I developed anorexia and then binge eating ... I really don't know what to do. I feel stuck with this disorder. I can't escape from it. I'm trying to loose weight but I can't... I just want to be free but at the same time I miss my old sick self. I feel empty and depressed. When I feel like that food is my only comfort. I eat to fill the emptiness inside me but nothing changes. Then I feel guilty and starve myself. I don't want to look in the mirror. I hate the way I look.. And I really don't know how to deal with this. I just want someone to listen to me and help me ð¥º

Hello there, thanks so much for having the courage to open up about what you're going through, it sounds like you're carrying an awful lot, caught in this cycle and that it's really affecting how you see yourself and how you're able to function. Those feelings of emptiness and depression are so awful to bear alone. If you would like, I'd really welcome a chat with you 1:1 - more than happy to listen and be there for you.
Also, I notice that you're 17 but you have an adult member account - would you be able to reach out to community@7cups.com with your username and correct birthday so that you can be moved to a teen account? I want to make sure that you're connecting with the right support for you 💖
