I've just had enough

[Msqueen33]

I wasn't sure where to put this but I feel it's linked to my mental health. I have an unhealthy issue with food in that I have problems eating too much. I'm raising two children with autism one of whom is non verbal. My dh works long hours and I feel very emotionally exhausted. I don't go out anymore as I'm tired and recently I've gained at least a stone and a half. I feel disgusting. I tick a lot of boxes for food addiction. I just don't know what to do or where to turn anymore. I don't feel I can talk to my mum as she and my dh have a very fragile relationship and anything I say she uses against him. I'm tired. None of my friends are really that interested or seem to care. I'm not even sure what I really want anymore.

Hi Ms queen,

Hugs to you, my DH and Mum have a similar relationship so understandcwhat you mean! Have you discussedcthis with your GP, they may be able to help. Feel free to join Wrists Bitches (its a place for people tosupport each other and very friendly)

MsQueen,
You have come to the right place to post questions like that if you want somewhere to talk and not be judged.

I suspect your eating may be a MH issue in reaction to stress.

By way of an intro, I am a manic depressive. I suffered a complete breakdown some 10 years back but have been steadily making my back to good health, (there were also other medical complications at that time). I remember my dark days and try, (some might suggest not always successfully) to offer a hand and a listening ear.

Bear..
