Binge Eating Disorder Leave of absence to ask for counseling help

I was also faced with your situation when I was a freshman, and I had to take a break from school because of depression caused by binge eating. In short, I guess you know my symptoms, that is, as soon as I get sick, I don't care about buying a lot of things and going back to the dormitory, I don't go to class, I don't do my homework, I don't talk to people, and then I eat wildly. After eating, I felt like the most disgusting person in the world.

When it was serious, I thought every day about how I could end my own life, jumping off buildings, traffic accidents, sleeping pills, cutting pulses. I've thought of all kinds of methods a thousand times.

Now, binge eating disorder is far away from me, at most, when I am in a bad mood, I go to eat a bowl of noodles and drink some sugar water or something, eat too much but definitely not overeat. My transfer started with the summer vacation of my sophomore year, not the kind of tour with a group, it was a self-guided tour, arranging my own tickets, accommodation, meals, everything had to be done on a limited budget. In that process, although I would think about eating, I definitely didn't have time to overeat, because I was alone, so I had to think about it myself, and I didn't have that much time to think about it.

After returning from my trip, I felt that binge eating was the reason why I was moved to eating because there was nothing else important in my life that attracted my attention.

Later, I decided to let myself find something to do and enrich my life. First, I made it a rule that I had to meet someone new every week. Second, I need to be self-reliant.

I participated in a lot of activities because I had to meet different new people, and for a while, I went to play basketball and practice taekwondo. In the process, I got to know many people and made my life more than just school. I am willing to try a job that is hard and low pay, although it is very hard, but it is also an experience of different lives, and I think this is a process of being responsible for my own life.

For myself, binge eating disorder is because I was so comfortable, I didn't have a clear goal in college, and my parents were able to provide me with no stress or responsibility, so I had these symptoms. Of course, this is all a summary of what I have done after reflecting on it in the future.

Now, sometimes I can see a lot of people with bulimia in the school cafeteria or in the cafeteria outside. Others may not know, but for me, who has had the same experience, I can tell at once the speed of their eating, their habits, and their eyes. I understand their inner pain and helplessness.

I also hope that they can come out soon.

The above is my personal experience, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Only when you are full do you have the strength to do something else.
