Gawd help me, my life is being lived through a magnifying glass, I’m not coping well and I understand now what a trigger means, for the first time this evening on TV a woman made a remark to another and it hit me for six. If that isn’t enough I am now dependent on my counsellor whom I respect but I feel trapped and unable to share with her what is going on for me and I can’t walk away from counseling either. I’ve had two good sessions with her this week. During the night and today has just brought up so much stuff I’d rather wasn’t happening and its left me binging really badly. She’s now on holiday for a week and I’m fearful I’ll not cope, please tell me it’ll not get any worse than this?

Chezza,

I'm sorry you are in such turmoil right now. I understand the drive to binge. To push down the scary feelings. Please be gentle with yourself. Try to eat something healthy each day and don't tell yourself no to the binge food. That always seems to make my desire for binge food stronger. You will cope - and your T will return and be there for you again. You have to try to care for yourself this week. I know it is hard but just take it one day at a time.

Chezza, i like with what Jillann said about not telling yourself no to the binge food. take it easy on yourself. you could try going for a walk, or meditate, read a book ... whatever it is you do that helps you to relax and get your mind onto something else? sorry, i really don't have much to contribute. just be easy on your self. post as much as you need to here! it's a great place for support! take care.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. Jillann I have healthy meals it’s when I shop that I fill my basket with chocolate/cakes/biscuits etc., all to be consumed in a short time, I know it’s wrong when I buy it, don’t enjoy it when I eat it and want to throw up after having it and the guilt is awful; this along with another act when stressed/anxious makes it feel like self- abuse. I am returning to work tomorrow which would ease things during the day. I hate the feelings and thoughts which is taking me back to various times of my life I don’t want to as its conjuring the negative emotions that came with it.

Thank you, Chezza
