BED, STP and other

Hi. Gosh I've not been online for yonks. How is everyone? I just wanted to vent really. I have some health problems. I have something wrong with my bladder, and need tests. I have specific toilet phobia and it's really getting bad. And finally I have binge eating disorder. all these probably sound trivial or just down right stupid. I'm an autism sufferer and I don't know how to deal with anything. I've rarely felt so alone. My eating is out of control but I daren't speak to anyone they will just laugh. Any advice? Please don't mock me. Thanks for reading. Annie.

  • thank you for your kind words. I'm on waiting list for a counsellor but have nobody trained in autism involved with me. I was only diagnosed three years ago and mum and dad still getting used to things. I'm 26. I've been in and our psychiatric hospitals and misdiagnosed. Don't really know who or how to get help. X

  • Hi, no I haven't spoken to anyone. Only my mum a little. I daren't tell anyone, they might laugh at me more. I'm lacking confidence and feel everyone hates me. I don't see any professionals other than my GP. That's been a battle too.

    Hi Anne,

    It sounds as though you are ready to do something about your problems. The first step in dealing with issues like these is for you to realise and accept that you have got a problem to solve. It sounds as though you have admited, to yourself, that something needs to be done.

    Have you spoken to your GP about these problems? Are you already seeing someone who can help you tackle your problems?
