Fasting and binging - Mood on Food?

[Shadow-Wolf]

Hi all,
I wanted to ask you this, not sure if it's under right gategory but anyway.

Have you noted, that when youd be sad - eat more/less? Or when happy about something, then eating/not?
I know people's personality has a lot to do with this, but I'll ask off anyway.

Yes. I feel too much, and I stop eating so that I can stop feeling.

Personally, I binge/purge when I'm angry, confused, sad or having a lot of feelings about something. I starve when I'm numb.

The primary reason behind binging in the first place is that you can't handle your emotions, so you use food to exert some control over them. Strong emotions have always been my biggest trigger.

I've realized too in the past year that good emotions can trigger just the same as bad emotions. Whenever something would start with a guy or something good in school would happen and I'd start being happy again, I couldn't handle it and would binge/purge. Confused the hell out of me at first, because I thought I should have a reason to not want to destroy myself.

Having BED obviously my mood trigger binges but i've noticed is not ALWAYS like that.
Sometimes I deal with my emotions (both negative and positive) by eating little/skipping meals.

When I'm upset/sad/angry I eat less. When I'm nervous/numb/anxious I eat more.
