Can Depression Make You Binge Eat?
Рет қаралды 39,287
Күн бұрынDepression isn’t just feeling down, or not as motivated as you used to, although those experiences can be part of it, it’s not the full picture. Major depressive disorder is characterized by 5 or more of the following symptoms, but you must have either a loss of interest or pleasure or a depressed mood. The other symptoms are changes in weight (appetite disturbance), sleep disturbance (sleeping a lot or not at all), psychomotor agitation or retardation (which really just means that we are either moving more or less than normal), fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day, feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt nearly every day, difficulty concentrating or indecisiveness, and recurrent thoughts of death or recurrent suicidal ideation without a plan. And binge eating is characterized by eating (in a short amount of time like 2 hours) an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances. And there is a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode.

My weight gain is 100% because of binging from depression. And of course the weight gain made my depression worse. It turned into an addiction quickly and I was eating fast food every day, alone, in a parking lot, shamefully. Yesterday I had fast food for the first time in 5 months and I finally felt like I had control over something that had control over me for so long. I have a long way to go, but the reminder that I am capable of this helps.

I've suffered clinical depression for years, anorexia, orthorexia, and now finally binge eating disorder. This is by far the hardest disorder I've ever had to work through because the lack of control and care in it. With anorexia it's all you think about and all there truly is, is removing the fear of food. With a binge eating disorder its needing to find the reason to stop. Since I've always loved food, binge eating is particularly difficult as well. Wish me luck

That resonates deeply with me. Eating just gives me a pathway to stop thinking about things. When I feel overwhelmed and terrified, I fill myself with food and keep doing that because it is something that I find very easy and cannot fail. At some point I realise how much I have stuffed myself, and I feel both physically and mentally disgusted, which causes me to eat even more in an attempt to forget that. Finally when I am able to put an end to this cycle, I stop eating for a day or two at a time.

I would binge eat when my mother would mention my weight... over and over again. I ate to hit back at her. As soon as I cut her from my life I had no need to binge eat.

Really needed to hear this today, thank you. My childhood was filled with so much anxiety, food was all I had to feel good and feel a sense of control over my life. I 100% connect with that feeling of disconnecting with your body and continuing to eat well past the feeling of fullness. I wish I would have learned some of these lessons as a kid, which is why my brother and I started Joven Health to provide counseling to kids. So many kids are struggling these days, make it a point to talk to any kids you have in your life - tell them you're proud of them, you love them for who they are & encourage their family to actively take care of their mental health. Our future depends on these young people, let's invest in them as much as we can.

I feel like most of my eating problems and later on my eating disorder, was fueled by having been depressed for so long. It started by losing appetite alongside all my other interests, and then later on did a 180 and it turned into binging which turned into compensating and then purging after binging.

When I binge, I usually credit it to self-medication/numbing device, or a desire to be full (of something). I had an aha! moment when you suggested a desire to exert control over one's own life. A lot of times I feel I am doing the bidding of others, putting up with detestable situations, and I DO binge because at least I have control over the bounty of food I buy and can consume. I went crazy yesterday with a binge for this very reason. I was too depressed to work (but I have to, of course), and my roommate finally left the house for a few minutes. Thank you.

Then when I’m hungry, I can choose from my list instead of wandering the kitchen cabinets aimlessly and eating whatever jumps out first. When I eat a planned meal, I eat more balanced/in line with what the professionals I’ve seen have recommended, and am less likely to feel the urge to binge.

I had two binges this weekend and I'm still trying to recover and forgive myself. I think that too much unmanaged stress can make it hard for me to fight binges. I think it's due to lack of social interactions and struggling to find peace in my life right now as well. Eating is comforting unfortunately. I've been trying to break my emotional attachment to it. Prior to this weekend I had been doing really well with my eating habits so I'm hoping to recover from this weekend.

I started therapy a year ago to cope with some transitions in my life and as I started to see progress in my mental health, my perception on food consumption and eating habits started to drastically change on their own. I started to develop sensitivity to hunger, satiety and cravings signals. Sometimes your eating habits are symptoms of underlying mental issues (and lots of emotional baggage in my case). I highly urge you to seek therapy if you're struggling with food!!!

I'm not really depressed but I'm going through a hard time and I get cravings I try to keep under control. I started to keep track of how I feel as you said and try to understand why I feel that way and it's helping! Thank you!

What if there's no clear trigger for a binge? Sometimes there's an event or clear feeling, but sometimes it just... happens.

I find that it’s a way for me to finally cry. I won’t know how sad I was feeling until I binged and then later cried.

I feel similar. I overeat (usually to a much lesser extent than I used to, which is good) to feel nothing and shut down emotions, especially when I feel lonely, vulnerable or empty.

Eating a can of Pringles and drinking a soda as I am watching. Depression is so real. I notice that I grab food if I don’t feel good about myself or some people that have triggered me.

My binge eating started when I started dieting and exercising after rescuing my husky, Martin. I already had severe OCD, anxiety and depression. But I started restricting hardcore and lost a bunch of weight. But it got crazy then I started picking “cheat days” and started binging hard. It’s at its worst right now and im about to start restricting again on Sunday or Monday and counting calories until I go back down to at least 140. Im 160 right now and that’s the most I’ve been since I was still drinking and before I got Martin. I went down all the way to 130 then stopped counting calories but I still would restrict what I ate until I reached a cheat day which always ends with a binge. Im currently on three day binge. Bout to restrict hard. I’ve been working on myself and have made alot of progress. Then I started going off the rails again after stress and being rejected by girl whom I cared deeply for. I’m a mess but I’m taking day by day with my husky and will get back on track soon hopefully. My depression is mostly due to being lonely and not having a partner. In the meantime I’ll continue to work on myself and build a better life for myself and dog.

Why I feel like I binge or just eat without feeling anything. Just feeling like no one cares about me. Or I'm a waste of life makes me binge eat. It's like I'm self sabotaging myself. I had a baby in January 2021. I had a rough time with depression and eating even before getting pregnant. But wasn't as bad as it is now. But during my pregnancy I lost 70lbs. Due to being a gestational diabetic. Changed my outlook on food and eating habits for my baby. Had her I felt great. Idk what happened. After a couple months I slowly started gaining. Now it's to the point where I would literally eat anything. I'm always putting myself down. Saying how much I hate myself. I just feel very alone. I am constantly jealous of people around me who have support from family when it comes to their kids. I can never get any alone time. When I actually do I feel guilty. So it rarely happens. I have had a to me a bad childhood. Bullied at school and at home. I wasn't a bad person but was always treated like I was by family. I am married. I had my tubes tied after I had my baby. I do have two kids. I do feel sad that I will never experience growing a baby. But I know with my health and age I would be luckt to carry without a miscarriage. So I made that decision. So I am just all bottled with emotions from childhood to now. And on top of that I don't feel loved by my husband. Not as much as I should. We had a really rocky relationship from the start. Even after marriage and having our first child things seem to get worse. And of course I feel like I am ruining his life. I feel like he's not happy with me. Even tho he says he is. It's those actions tho. Words don't mean anything without action. I am scared to talk to anyone about my feelings about everything cause I feel like they are not valid. So I eat. I hate food. I hate that it made me gain those 70lbs in such a short amount of time. I feel so ugly. I feel like a loser. I feel like a failure. I'm so behind on house work all the time. I love my kids but I feel like a failure to them.

Hi Kati, I'm a psychology student, currently writing a literature review on comorbidity of depression and eating disorders. Do you have any papers you referenced during the scripting of this video?

How about eating for self punishment? Temporary pleasure but also knowing how sick and miserable it will make us all night and into the next day and still doing it.

Stress, pain & certain types of people were definite triggers. Since my hysterectomy, I don't have the almost crippling periods 2-4 weeks out of a month anymore, so I have really had much less binging triggers & cravings. I still love chocolate, but I find smaller portions are satisfying these days & it's easier to tell when I've had enough food sooner. I still have had moments of certain stress & people during the pandemic get me into a few shorter binge moments, but it's been way less without the chronic pain & exhaustion.

what if you already have an eating disorder like anorexia along with depression? when you binge, is it a way to cope with the depression, or a reaction of your body to restriction?
@eudemonia9499 3 жыл бұрын
I have trouble stopping myself with certain foods (chips and sweets primarily) so I don't keep them around. I allow myself to have them but it's a process to get them (either having to go to the store or bake) so then I don't have them as frequently. I still have some problems with portion control, especially late at night (work 2nd shift at the hospital and so have trouble controlling my 2-3am meal after work/working out/showering) because I'm tired and all the self control I had through the day goes out the window because I'm so exhausted I no longer care. I end up trying to make better choices throughout the day and choose an intense enough workout to make up for the fact that I'm going to eat a large portion before bed.

I also feel like overeating to distract but I also don’t feel normal hunger or satiety cues - so eating when hungry and stopping when full is nearly impossible for me As you said the connection between mind and body does not work very well anymore Try to find a way to connect again even when depressed but it’s hard

Sometimes the only time I get soothed is when I’m eating. It’s those endorphins. I’m in a episode now for example I didn’t even realise but I hadn’t brushed my teeth for 3 days and hadn’t showered for 2. I just thought I was bored but today I’ve gotten in a mood where I just feel despair and can’t stop thinking of killing myself or cutting myself. I’m crying a lot which I generally don’t do. I have a tight feeling like I’m about to explode but at the same time sinking and wanting to sleep. I’m not pricing what my body needs and also don’t care either. It’s a person at work doing it, I know it is. They are at least worsening it and pushing past my threshold of coping,

I’ve really been struggling and been looking for help for a month with very little progress - depression sucks but feeling unheard and unseen by professional “help” is worse.
