ED

I am 18 yrs old and I have been dealing with an ED for the past year and a half. It seems I am spiraling downwards, I am out of control. I started by just restricting what I was eating and lost a significcant amount of weight..however, then it became an obsession. The more I restricted myself, the more I longed for food..and so the binging and purging began. It is an everyday event. I eat so much I cant move,(could eat a whole pantry...we are talking LARGE amounts of food) then make an attempt at getting rid of it all. I feel so aweful. The only thoughts that I ever have are thoughts of food and gaining weight. I have no interests, i never want to go out, there is nothing i EVER want to do...besides eat, which only adds to my sadness and guilt. help. Its like the only thing that makes me happy or excited (food) is also the one thing that deepens my depression, making me feel helpless and hopeless and out of control. Thanks for listening.
