eating disorder

[catsalways]

IF you have had an eating disorder you probably agree when i say this is one disease that conquers them all at being the worst. YOu know what im talking about when i say this is all you think about and all you care about but you hate it so much! Just imagine your life without an eating disorder doesnt it sound like heaven? I BEILIEVE that one day we who suffer from this will get relief.

[catsalways]

please evrybody out there suffering from this you have to understand its not your fault. I have been through 5 years of different kinds of eating disorders and im now 18 so it has consumed a huge chunk of my life. I go through phases where i either eat a lot or dont eat at all. There are days when i dont think i am going to make it to the end of just that day and there are days when i dont think i am going to make it to the end of an hours time.

[cherryjenny00]

[punkinL908]

[Nloyal]

Thankyou for this video, there really isnt enough awareness about this disease and we need people to share more which is why this video is great! It is not taken seriously enough because people often think its something that is within our control but as binge eaters know its the complete opposite! Once again thankyou for sharing I wish you the best of luck in beating or managing this lots of love N x

[nemoxo13]

Whats a "binge eatingg disorder"??

[goodcharlotte4everx]

its like bulimia but you dont throw your food up

[punkinL908]

when u eat ALOT

[TrueHatred1980]

People don't understand. People believe that it starts when you begin to lose weight but...it is a mental disorder for a reason. It is a disease that spreads throughout the mind and comsumes your every thought and replaces it with just one thing....the fear of food. Once an Anorexic loses wiehgt, they are afraid they will gain it back. So they keep dieting and dieting...it is kinda like that. It is so much more than that though....it is all based on emotions.

[LoFizz]

Exactly...and the more weight you lose, the more afraid you are of gaining it back again. It's like a trap.

[eleanarei]

i understand you..

i've told my parents so many times.they see me cry everyday,they see that i suffer but they ignore me because my "weight is normal"..

do i have to be like a skeleton to get some attention?pfff...

[punkinL908]

no please dont u do not have to be a skeleton eat and exersie dont throw up starve ur self or ne thing like that cuz my cousin had that and it is really hard for her to swallow food now cuz she used to throw it up and now she has burns all on her throat from the stomach acid...eat healthy for u and ur friends and family!

[eleanarei]

[elizabethmoran84]

This is a much needed video. Thank you for your courage.

[LivyGirl10]

what exactly is binge eating?

[lilgem61490]

have you heard of people binging and purging?

a binge is when you eat as much as you possibly can shove into your mouth in a small amount of time like mabe an hour.and purgeing is when you throw it up...

this girl is saying that the way she "conrtols" is thru monitering what she eats. like but eating ALOT.

[mamakitty12]

For me it was uncontrolable, like being on auto-pilot. Your head is saying STOP! but its like theres a demon inside that makes you continue, past the point where you feel like you're going to puke. And you keep on. It's not as simple as making a decision to stop eating that way. You can't. I didn't do it in public. It was private, and nobody knew except I'd gain a tremendous amount of weight in a short time. Then I'd somehow get up the strength to diet, only to fall off, then it starts again...

[wwgirl1990]

I felt nobody understood me, till I saw this video.

Should I tell someone in my family/friends?

Love, Lynn, X

[granolafights]

Lynn-

absolutely! You need to get help before it gets worse. Eating disorders can seriously hurt and even kill you.

God bless

[xTheBreakDown]

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. No one around me understands that what I'm battling with is just as dangerous as anorexia and bulimia. It tears me down mentally and physically, and I don't get ANY of the satisfaction of liking my body image. Your video is my favorite by far.

[theunknownmartian]

i really wish i could stop thinking about food.. i never got to go to bed with a normal stomach since 4 years now..its always looks blown up, thanks to this disorder =(

thanks for making this video.. hopefully ppl will start to realize that an eating disorder doesnt have to be NOT eating or not eating enough, but it can also be eating too much...

[nikkiribeirao]

I don't think i have binge eating disorder but i do over eat sometimes when i am despressed and it really sucks, i can only imagine how much harder it could be not to control it at all.

God Bless

[diaci13]

i have the same problem as well. I see that as some comments say there is an awareness that this is getting a major problem in the world, or maybe it was but only now people are getting out and talking about it? Perhaps, though I know I need help. I'll read some books and talk to some people.

[ladebbie]

I have been dieting since I was 13, and binging just as long. I too have binge eating disorder. Thank you for making this video.

I must admit I envied people living in China and thought they were free of eating disorders and obesity. I see I was wrong.

[GraCheTogo]

you're not alone...I also sufffer of binge eat.dis...and Nobody understands me...

[phunbee]

I love some of your pictures.  I laughed out loud. I can make two recommendations: google walkers in darkness. It is a website for people with depression and eating disorders (including binging). Also there are two books I can recommend. One is Reviving Ophelia and the other is Deal With It. The second book is published by gurl dot com and both are amazing and have lots of information about eating disorders including binge eating disorder.

[SywenArk]

you are NOT alone! We are too many people with binge eating disorder! And also here, in Italy, people does not understand what big problem binge eating is! You know, I think it's a kind of mode! Tv loves anorexias histories! And so does the people! It's awful, I know, but we have to be more stronger! KISS!

[lyn2251982]

i suffer as well and i understand what you are going through...although the awareness is growing, i feel like there is no support system out there...i eat to fill the void...i know no other way. i want to recover, i want to eat normal...it's been a very long time since i have felt hunger, and i hate that about myself.

[15alexo15]

GET WELL SOON!!!!!!!!!!

[ehlol88]

I have the same problem. But, where are you from?

[ASHLIN7]

i agree i have the same problem

[trying2survive]

how've you been lately?

hope everythings fine with you.

[ASHLIN7]

umm not really but i hope it will get better u???

[lovebuggy9029]

Thanks for this video. I am struggling w/ Binge disorder, and have been since 5th grade. This adiction is overlooked. It sucks because once you think you are in control you slip back into the addiction. I was actually in the hosptal for 2 months over BED, I did not realize I had an ED at the time. People do need to be more aware

[trying2survive]

im sorry to hear that u were in the hospital for BED.

how'r ya now? hope things r fine with u.

[otokonodude]

My friend is struggling w/a eating disorder. I know what it is like to feel powerless. Reaching out for help and talking about it is good. Please don't give up! Ever!! We underestimate our personal worth, but we our priceless just the way we are, as we are. Please keep your head up! We're worthwhile! Maybe you can find an online support group. There are support groups online for probably anything. My name is Troy. For all those who struggle, I'm praying for VICTORY!!!

[trying2survive]

im so happy ur so supportive!

u know, only 1 of my friends has showed support for me. others juz don't care. maybe they don't realize the seriousness of BED.

ur friend is so lucky cuz he has u as a friend. hope ur friend will get well soon.

[weirdloopyloo]

Your accent is great and i completely understand because i have compulsive overeating disorder and i dont think that any of my friends have ever heard of it so they don't understand. You should have a look at Maliaka's videos, they are really good.

[trying2survive]

thanks for the comment. i will have a look at maliaka's videos. :-)

hope things r fine with u.

[bingeeating]

Thank you for spreading the word about binge eating disorder. My mission and passion in life is to help others overcome binge eating - as I fought the battle myself for many years. So many people out there have no idea that there are others with the same 'problems' they do. I'm brand new to YouTube and will be starting to post more about binge eating. Today I posted a quick video I created to test things out. :) You took a big step in creating your video - GREAT job. :) - Kristin

[trying2survive]

its so kind of u to try to help others overcome binge eating! *thumbs up* thank you! keep up the spirit!

[mesCheerios]

I know how you feel.. it makes it easier to ignore the problem.. and it makes you feel a little less cared for. That was probably the first time i heard another person talking about it. Thanks

[trying2survive]

thanks for your comment. :-)

when u need support, im always with you.

[mesCheerios]

That's very sweet- you too. Message me anytime you want.

[yuppix]

I would like people to be more concerned about BED cause as you said it can be mortal too, I researched aswell and found quite good websites of information, support and help so send me a message anytime we can chat.

[froggi16]

can you give me the adress of those sites?

thank you ! (send me a message, it's easier)

[trying2survive]

im sorry, what addresses? u mean the ones about BED? or...?

[yuppix]

you speak very well english, and even if where you live people dont give a damn you have to know you're not alone. I ive in this society where being pretty is being skinny, not drop dead skinny but skinny and even my family thinks that way so I know what its like to be trapped in a place where they don't understand you.

[jdtwelve12]

Nicely made video, but I wish the audio was a bit louder. Your English is very good for a non-native speaker; you don't need to apologize for it at all. This is though-provoking, and I hope you find the help you're looking for. Good luck with your recovery.

[trying2survive]

thanks for your comment :-)

i made this video at 3am so i didn't dare to speak loud. sorry :-P
