I'm on adhd medication, and at first it stopped all sugar craving, it was great! But now I'm snacking on junk throughout the day, and once my medication wears off I'm binging and purging.
I've had bulimia for over 20 years. There are times it hasn't been so active, but since I quit alcohol over 5 years ago it's been full on. It's my vice I suppose.
Without the cravings at the beginning of my medication, life was sweet, I didn't binge as I didn't need to, so no purging either. Now I'm stuck. I eat loads, bring it up, and repeat. DH knows about it, doesn't make a big deal out of it and gives me my space, but it's shameful for me when I'm eating next to him knowing what I'm doing.
I want to be healthy, but I don't want to gain weight. I don't want cbd or anything like that as I can't do mindfulness or the like. My relaxing is keeping busy.
Has anyone recovered from Bulimia who also has adhd? I've been very self destructive in the past and I don't want to replace it with another dangerous habit, I have children to live for and to set a good example for.
I don't know what to do from here, and I need help.
