I'm waiting on a diagnosis for B.E.D and I'm struggling tonight
I'm really struggling tonight. I know I'm not hungry, and I can't figure out if I'm just bored or what emotion is driving my want for food but all I can think about it food and it's really stressing me out. The past 3 days, once it gets to bedtime all I can think about is food. I know food makes me happy but it's really stressing me out. I've also just started exercising the past 3 days and it seems to have coincided with this perfectly so I'm not sure if that's a trigger either but anyway. I'm stressed

I'm really glad that you posted. It is very stressful when there are struggles with food and emotions. Food can be a challenge for many emotions, from being bored, happy, or any intense emotion as well. I hate to hear that you've been struggling with this.
Have you ever used journaling or artwork or anything creative to release your emotions or to deal with your emotions when they are coming up or the urges to use food for the emotions? Sometimes that can be really helpful to even just get the emotion out or sort out the emotion out.
