Hello, everyone. Something I wanted to complain about...you know, get off of my chest and all...
I have food problems. I've had them since before I can remember.
I'm also an alcoholic (problem drinker, whatever) who has found it easier to leave the booze behind and nearly IMPOSSIBLE to fix the food problems. I don't know what to do. I really don't. I'm laughing as I'm typing this, although I know it's not really funny.
I have such a strong urge to shove food in my face (non-specific) and gorge myself until I cannot move or until I get sick. For some reason, this has been a bigger (no pun intended) problem than usual during the last couple weeks. I almost feel like I'm out of control.
Other than going for professional help (I know, I know…if it stays the same for a while or gets worse, I’ll find a place to go for help), does anyone have any suggestions as to things I can do alleviate this in the short term? Should I suck and chew on a pencil? I'm tired of feeling this way. Maybe I should get out of the house, but I can't do that all the time. I just don’t understand…Earlier in the year this problem was easier to deal with. It just feels different this time around (meaning after I quit drinking again). I’ll admit it, I’m a little worried. Oh yeah…I’m not laughing anymore.
I don’t know if it’s related, but I haven’t been sleeping well. I know I’ve upped my caffeine intake greatly…all of this is happening at the same time! I tried to cut out the crap and I got some nasty headaches….so I went back to the crap. Why does this have to be so difficult?
