Reply from manda, Age 15 - 10/22/03 - IP#: 172.159.32.xxx mia, have you had an ed before? Actually, there's binge eating like they said, but there's also compulsive overeater. which is overeating most of the time. binge eating is like...going and buying a whole thing of donuts and eating the whole thing. you feel lack of control and stuff. I kind of have a mix of these. I used to be bulimic and anorexic (but not the regularities of a dianosis) plus binge eater or compulsive overeater, so it's ED-nos, for people who don't fit the frequency enough of the other disorders.
Reply from mia, Age 20 - 10/22/03 - IP#: 66.203.195.xxx A third eating disorder, called 'binge eating disorder' is currently being researched. This disorder includes 'recurrent binges, lack of control during the binging episode, and distress about binging, as well as other characteristics, such as rapid eating and eating alone. It appears to be more prevalent than either anorexia or bulimia nervosa'. this dirosrder is currently being studied, but it is not yet a formal diagnosis. I'm a psych student currently reading about eating disorders at my university. hope that helped... good luck to u all.
Reply from henry, Age 14 - 10/21/03 - IP#: 209.245.165.xxx umm... i think its called emotional eating, like when u grab food for comfort cuz u feel depressed or sad or bored or nervous. i read that instead u can do sumthing to make urself feel better like talking w/ ur mates or go for a walk w/ ur dog or talking w/ a counseler bout ur probs or reading a book, or roller bladin ,,, stuff like that, so it keeps u from eatin. hope this helps.
