Eating disorders - need a bit of support

[PhoenixSoaring]

Ok so I am only recently back on mn (I used to be naswm/losty - but after 2 months in hospital and a month away from home, I am back on mn with a new name).

During my time in hospital a number of my 'problems' were highlighted. Including my eating disorder. I have binge eating disorder. I am not a bulimic (I sufffer with emetephobia). But I also have anorexic tendencies - ie I starve myself for days on occasion).

atm I am fighing so many urges (not to drink, not to self harm, not to run away from my family) that my eating habits are totally up the wall. Days of starving, days of overeating. Does anyone else on mn ever feel like this

TIA

Sorry to hear you have had such a difficult time recently. Hope things improve for you, and you have more support now. I have eating problems but in a milder way I suspect; drugging myself with sugary food when stressed etc, so I probably don't have similar enough experience to constructively comment.

yes
right now
I've posted about it under assumed name of vueltoloco (I think, I forget the spelling)

I am eating now but survived on 3 water biscuits with cheese each day for about 6-8 weeks recently

I remember you as both those names

How was hospital - was it helpful?

hi - hospital was very hard at times but necessary

I will look for your thread. Today I have eaten okay. Not binged at all, and eaten a sensible breakfast and lunch. But today is not typical
