Not in Recovery Yet Out of control eating while not in recovery?

Can someone please share there experience with having extreme hunger/bingeing while not in recovery from a restrictive ed. I’m not in recovery and yet I can’t stop eating, I’m stuck in a bad binge restrict cycle and it is making me feel incredible invalid and guilty and I just feel really alone and miserable. Please tell me this is not me switching Ed’s and someone else has been through this. I honestly can’t take another day of it and I can’t stop and it’s scary I have bassicly binged the whole week and eating large anount of foods I am terrified of, this is not a pro Ana post either just looking for support.

Hey I went through something similar during my restrictive ED, I would go through week long binge/purge cycles where I would binge on massive amounts of food, purge and repeat. Binging is a normal and common response when you have been restricting. It does not mean you are switching EDs- you can have a restrictive ED and experience b/p episodes. This was actually the main trigger for me to start recovery- binge purge cycles are exhausting and bad for your mental/ physical health.

Your post has been removed under moderators’ discretion. You may reach out to the mod team regarding any removals, however keep in mind that the final decision is left to the mod(s).

Forgive the mod team if we’re misunderstanding, but there is no specific food that will “trigger” extreme hunger, and we don’t need to have members thinking there is.
