1 consequence about binge eating disorder
There are many consequences about binge eating disorder, but one that I noticed about myself was how my relationships started to dwindle down. I was always a very social girl with tons of friends. I always had plans to do fun thing with my friends and I even enjoyed hanging out with my parents, believe it or not.
In high school I was still very social, even though binge eating disorder was very much in my life. I still hung out with my friends, went on dates, and no one knew about binge eating disorder. Heck, I don’t even think I realized that anything was really wrong with me at that time.
In college, watch out!
I was in a whole new environment and only knew 2 people that went to that college with me… one of my best friends and my boyfriend at the time. I found myself refraining from meeting new people and experiencing new things. It really terrified me and brought out triggers to make me want to binge even more!
My relationships were pretty much non-existent. I never went out. I didn’t have the fun first year at college experience… It was completely the opposite. I would stay inside my dorm room and binge. All because of binge eating disorder.
When I found out about binge eating disorder, I was comforted in knowing that there was something that I was experiencing that had a name and wasn’t just from my imagination.
There are tons of consequences you experience and learn about binge eating disorder, and relationships (or lack of) was at the top of my list. I knew that I wanted to be the social butterfly that I used to be and once I learned more about binge eating disorder, I knew that I would find my way back to the person I once was… without binge eating disorder.
