I am feeling so low, I need advice on self sabotage.

A bit of background:I have borderline personality disorder which I have managed to keep control of with meds.

Everything seems to be under control apart from my eating. I am very overweight and I hate my body. I think about self harming because of how much I hate my body.

I am fat and lazy and have no confidence at all. I'm tired all of the time due to being overweight and I sit around because I'm tired. It's a vicious circle.

When I try hard to eat well there is always another part of me saying eat that cake/chocolate/takeaway. I crave these foods and I am addicted.

Everytime I lose any weight I sabotage it by eating lots. I am thinking at the very moment I eat anything that I hate myself and I'm disgusting. But I still can't stop it.

I cant carry on like this. I feel sick at the sight of me in a mirror or when I sit and see my stomach hanging over my trousers. Thinking about it is making me want to throw up now.

I don't know what I want from posting this, part of me needs to get it off my chest. I'd also love to hear from people who suffer with the same issues.

hi

Didn't want to leave you unanswered. I have bpd too and have the same problem! I can't really help you because the only way I can control it is to try to eat sensibly when I'm not self sabotaging, or sabotaging another way.

hope it helps to know you aren't the only one until someone helpful comes along

Hi Unicorn, it is a relief that it's not just me. So could it actually be my BPD?

I treated both issues as separate problems, I always think I'm greedy rather than a BPD symptom.

my eating is most definitely linked to my bpd so yours could be too.

what meds do u take?
