Binging, Binging and more Binging

Help, I am new on here, have just been formally (been waiting best part of 10yrs) diagnosed with personality disorder (non specific) but mostly leaning towards borderline, this is a great site and I'm finding the mood tracker to be really helpful....Thank you!!

My thing at the moment is big time binging, i don't care what it is I'll eat it...I am Vegan by intention but at the moment I don't care I'll eat anything, this is really not helping my BPD as it is really getting me down and giving me a great excuse to torture myself, not a good thing!!

I am really struggling and just wanted to get it out there....has anyone been through this or going through this now?

BTW even though the diagnosis was known for years just took a long time to get official I'm really struggling with it, so think that the diet issue is just self punishment for being such a failure, well thats how I feel today...Ill be top of the world tomorrow ( I hope) I have housework to do!! lol

Thanks for reading

Hello, are you on any meds? Sometimes they help put the weight on. I myself binge eat, but dont know why! I am now trying to keep a food journal, so I have to write it down, and it gives me time to think. If you are like me the weight issue is just as bad as the mental issue. Do you get out to exercise at all? I just close myself off and stay inside in bed with the depression. I am now in physical therapy for my back and have exercises to do for my back because I did not move around at all. I dont know if any of this helps, we can talk about it and help each other out. That is why we are here. manic

I know exactly what you are going through, and unfortunately eating disorders are a symptom of bipolar disorder. I myself have been struggling to do anything at all today but sit on the couch and binge on anything i can find. Nothing in life seems worthwhile to do. I don't know how to stop it either, but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this issue.

ive not been to a doctor but have suspected bpd for about a year in myself, however on some level its something slightly manageable-ish, but recently, as in the last few months i developed eating disorders due to target weights i set myself and became obsessed with and then kindoff got hor my hooked on loosing weight, i lost 2 stone in 2 months and i wasnt heavy to start of with, first anorexia, which i stoped wen i hit 7 stone and looked like a skeleton and now bulemia because after all that effort of loosing weight when i binge i cant face it puttin it back on, but ive got to the stage of binging every day which is pretty bad for my health- so i was going to go and see the nurse, but then i thought they may be linked, i think its definately part of my extreme personality and my need to control certain aspects, also any tips for sleep, averaging like 1/2 hours a night for past few weeks, notttt good

I recently discovered something that puts the brakes on my binging. I learned about it at www.druglessdoctor.com and found it cheap at www.swansonvitamins.com. I take 400mg Gymnema Sylvestre when I'm pron to binge. I've taken it just the last 2 nights and it worked great!!!! Of course it is too soon to tell if it will be a cure.
