our_binges's Journal

our_binges is a community with open membership where all people are free to share the details of their binges. We are not a pro-ED community, although our focus is neither on recovery nor education. We are about emotion, catharsis, and group suport.

Members have an eating disorder, whether it is bulimia, COE, BED, or ED-NOS. The act of repeatedly bingeing constitutes an eating disorder, whether the binger admits to it or not. We do not judge here.


Why share?

The first step to breaking an addiction is admitting that it exists. Tell us about your binges because:


-Get it off your chest. In a community where everyone binges, it is not as stressful to talk about bingeing, and after a while it becomes something to bond over, even akin to an inside joke.

-Address the problem. Telling other people the truth will help you stop living a lie. And it feels good to vent or confess.

-Know you are not alone. You will be relieved to realize you are not the only one who actually has eaten a box of Oreos. Somebody DOES understand you, and you DO have somewhere to turn instead of bottling up the awful feelings after a binge.
