Q. I have an eating disorder (binge eating disorder) and need to go into an inpatient rehab treatment center. Problem is I don't have any insurance or money. Does anyone know of any programs that offer financial aid or any treatment facilities that take people on with out insurance and if so under what circumstances do they? Basically, I have no money and need help! I am aware of the benefits of therapy, counseling, and 12steps groups and am involved in all three. But I need inpatient care at this point.
A. Ultimately, the best thing you can do is call up each center and discuss your options. While it's less likely they'll waive the costs of care, getting a loan may be on the table- you can also pursue state-funded forms of insurance and see if you qualify for any.
How can i get help for Binge Eating Disorder?
Q. I believe i have recently developed Binge Eating Disorder. And i've tried telling my dad but he just thinks im stupid and there is no such thing as BED. I know i need help but does anyone know any treatment of BED? i've gained 30lbs in over 2 monthes.
A. You don't need a doctor trust me
I use to binge constantly and if your like me it's because either your trying a restricted diet or your just bored. DIETS DON'T WORK they make you binge in the end because, your body needs essential vitamins in certain foods. All you have to do is buy healthy foods !!! and eat only when your stomach growls! if your stomach does not growl you do not eat. After awhile you will start to lose weight and you metabolism will get faster.
Your not alone! you can do this trust me!

Is it normal to binge eat when recovering from anorexia?
Q. I am recovering from anorexia as of a couple days ago and I was wondering if it is normal to binge eat! It takes SO much food for me to even feel full. I see most anorexics congratulating themselves for eating a piece of chocolate (or another fear food) and I'm over here like trying not to eat the whole bag. What gives?! Should I listen to my body and just eat? When will this stop -- I won't be THIS hungry later will I?
A. when i started treatment for Anorexia the same thing happend to me a few weeks into recovery. i simply couldn't seem to stop eating. not only had my appetite returned with a vengange, i was also actually hungry all the time and it took the best part of 3-4 weeks before the weight started creeping on slowly but surely. i'm not sure why this is, but i found that once i actually did start putting some weight on my appetite normalised on it's own. i did mention this to my treating doctor and he said that this is very normal and to just try to stay away from too many non-nutricious foods like crisps or chocolate, but it's ok to have these along with a nutricious diet. just don't eat nothing BUT cookies. apart from that, if you really can't resist having anything but these foods, just don't buy them. if you don't have them in your kitchen, you can't eat them. this is still something you need to say to your treating doctor, because some medications can cause excessive appetite too. Certain Anti-Depressants for example can increase appetite, though some other brands of Anti-depressants have the opposite effect and decrease appetite and some don't affect appetite at all.
