I haven't been officially diagnosed with BED but when I read about it, I definitely have it and have had it since a child. I could use some support seeing how that seems to be part of a solution. I can't afford therapy but I can afford books and my time to research and reach out to others battling this dis-order.
I'm in recovery (10 months off drugs) so I'm not new to the concept of disorders, along with being an addict I have OCD (as does all addicts at some level). Now that I put down the drugs, I've picked up the food. The drugs were just a symptom of my disease of addiction. I know there is a spiritual solution to addiction. I'm wondering if there is also one for this disorder and if they coincide with each other.
I'm happy I found a group like this... other people who think like me. I don't feel so alone.

I have BED. I, like you, cannot afford therapy; however, I am trying my best to cope by myself and so far it is not working. Maybe we can help each other?0
