Feeling guilty and anxious

2 replies

FTM to 5 month old DS. I’ve always had a complicated relationship with food and my body and has an eating disorder and self harmed when I was a teenager (nearly 10 years ago). Can’t sleep as am feeling incredible anxious. Have eaten a horrendous amount of chocolate today, not sure if it’s some kind of binge eating disorder or I am comfort eating to be honest. I can’t sleep, probably cause of the sugar so going to be exhausted tomorrow and keep feeling like I am struggling to feel movement in one leg and foot, and got myself all stressed and convinced that it must be type 2 diabetes and that I’ve caused myself nerve damage. I’m hoping that it’s just me overthinking things but it’s so hard to tell. Just that really. Feeling anxious and wanted to get it off my chest. As of tomorrow I’m giving up sugar again (I only managed a week last time) and I’m determined to stick to it! Any tips?

I am sure that there will be a nutritionist or a disorder therapist along at some point, but have you tried sticking to fruit and nuts to snack on, rather than chocolate and biscuits? Maybe you should not be posting on this thread but on the Eating Disorder thread.

Hi there 96chick,
What SHD says is good advice, this is a bit more of a swapping recipes board, but we don't want to move your thread without permission. Just buzz us by pressing 'report' at the top of the page. Hope things are a bit clearer this morning, in any case.
