Help I either don't eat or I binge eat what do i do ☹️
Hey… I’m really glad you said something. That push and pull between not eating at all and then bingeing can feel so overwhelming, and honestly, really lonely too.
A lot of the time, it’s not just about food. It can come from feeling out of control, emotions building up, stress, or even just your body trying to make up for not getting enough earlier. When you don’t eat for a while, your body goes into survival modeand then when you finally do eat, it can feel impossible to stop. That’s not a failure. That’s your body trying to protect you.
You are not “lacking discipline.” You are stuck in a cycle that a lot of people struggle with, even if they don’t talk about it.
If you can, try to focus less on “fixing everything” and more on creating small, steady moments of care. Even something like having one simple, regular meal a day, or a small snack at a consistent time, can help your body feel a little safer and reduce that swing.
And when the urge to binge or restrict shows up, instead of fighting yourself harshly, try asking gently: what do I actually need right now?
Sometimes it’s food, sometimes it’s comfort, sometimes it’s rest, sometimes it’s just not wanting to feel something.
You deserve to eat without guilt, and you deserve to feel okay in your body.
If this is happening a lot or feels hard to manage alone, it might really help to talk to someone you trust or even a professionalbecause you don’t have to carry this by yourself.
If you want, you can always come here and talk. You don’t have to have the “right words.” I will listen.
