Q. I developed anorexia my freshman year in college and went to recovery later that year. It has been to years but this past month I have begun to binge eat. I am angry and frustrated. I cannot seem to establish a healthy relationship with food. Has anyone had any similar experiences? I am in need of advice.
A. Yes..It started for me 2 months after recovery- currently still struggling but it's gotten much better, I know it's frustrating but it eases the frustration knowing that given the knowledge you gained during recovery won't allow you to relapse back into Anorexia. It's not uncommon after recovery i've found. It also has a lot to do with stress, understandable being in college. So far i've found getting over the binge eating is so much easier than anorexia. It too shall pass, trust me.
Best of luck! xx

I dont understand the diff between eating disorders, can someone help?
Q. Ok so I thought binge-eating, anorexia and bulimia was all the same. Dont they all make you skinny? I know want binging and purging is, but I'm confused about the other 2. Whats the diff?
A. Anorexia is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, even if underweight, resulting in food deprivation or starvation. On the other hand, bulimia is characterized by a large amount of food intake in a relatively short period of time, only to purge it back up vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise, or use of laxatives or pills.
that's the difference of the other two kinds. If you have 1 of that type, go on get some treatment.
