why do i have the unglamorous eating disorder? binge eating, lack of self control, shame, humility. i cant tell anyone about it because its simply so embarrassing.

No eating disorder is glamorous. My grandmother died from the "glamorous" one. I understand the envy for other EDs because I'm working through that, and that is a line you never want to cross. Believe me, I've tried.

I suffer with it too. You aren't alone, just remember that. The hardest part for me has been actually using the words to describe what I do ("purge" is still really difficult to get out, so most people don't know), but if you work up to telling just one person or finding a therapist you can trust, it's less stressful. It isn't easy, but it's doable. I'd offer my support, but this is anonymous, so just know that you're in my thoughts, even if we have to remain strangers...
