If you have been struggling with binge eating during the Covid-19 pandemic, you are not alone.
I can’t remember exactly when my relationship with food became toxic but, once it did, it was like a snowball rolling down a hill, getting larger and larger and faster and faster.
I always questioned “will I be taken seriously” or “perhaps I’m a just greedy person” or “everyone gets low and comfort eats” or “how can I have a disorder when I seem to have a normal life”.
It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when I first experienced symptoms. It feels like I’d been living with binge eating disorder as long as I could remember.
I've lived with binge eating disorder for about 30 years. I used to think I'd live with it for the rest of my life. But I've found that recovery is possible.
'Binge eating? Can't you just get over that with will power?' No matter what anyone says, you're suffering from a real disorder and deserve help.
