ED Binged on a ton of food and now my stomach really, really hurts…

[Luna_Moth]

I finished having a session with my therapist yesterday and ate more than usual.

We have been discussing how food is a numbing agent for my emotions and I don’t know how I’m going to get through this. My stomach really hurts and I want to stop but I can’t seem to.

Hurts like a maybe ruptured stomach hurts… or …hurts like complicated feelings : guilt/shame/anger/fear + anger/et all AT those complicated feelings, &/or anxiety nausea/lead weight/fear your coping mechanism might not be working, or might not be working before you were ready to give it up, or, or, or, &, &, &?

My stomach hurts from eating too much.

I’ve been there. Can you have tea and stretch a little?

Also I suggest journaling after therapy. Then read it next time

I have a ton of tea bags at home. Do you drink anything specific?

I already journal through here and read a lot on psychoeducation. So I feel like doing more of that after therapy would overwhelm me.

Plus I already intellectualize my trauma a lot and I’m trying to find more balance by not thinking as much about it if that makes sense. It’s a big thing that me and my therapist are currently working on.

Is it that feeling of being stabbed from the inside lol. Experienced it a few times and know it well. Think certain types of food cause it for certain people.

I find carbonated drinks help to settle stomach contents after a burp even if it sounds counterproductive. Caffeine helps move waste faster from bowels and that can make you feel less full even if new food hasn't been digested yet.

Yes, precisely.

Anything hot at this point preferably not caffeine
