how to stop binging? ADHD meds?

hi all, I have been struggling with binge eating for about almost 2 years now. I am 18. I literally feel like the shas taken over my life, and I don't know what to do anymore. I have reached out to so many people for help, counselors, ed therapists, my parents, but I feel like no one can help me. I know this is something that I have to do on my own and get through, but I don't know how to change. I start a tracker, and the most I can get is 3 days in a row, and then I spiral. into am in college and don't have time for this. the times I get 3 days in a row is when I am very busy studying. but sometimes that works and sometime it makes it worse. I just don't know what to do anymore. my therapist and everyone say that all of this stems from my need to be perfect and give eveyrthing 100%. I used to be an athlete but stopped bc of college,. I feel like once I make a little mistake, the whole day just goes to waste and becomes a binge spree.

it has started to become binge and p0rging because I feel so guilty. I just want to be normal and not have this consume my life. I often have to miss plans because I have just bninged and feel so gross. please I just want change and permanent change. on the days when I get 3 days in a row I feel so good about myself and accomplished, but then I mess up and I just feel awful and like a failure.

I have done some research and a lot of people say that ADHD meds have worked for them to cut out the food noise. does anyone know if this works, and how to obtain them? I ma

Binge eating

Hi folks

Looking for some advice, I am a 43 year old Dad of 3 and am struggling with binge eating. I am 5 foot 7 and 24 stone weight or roughly 150kg. I have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and am waiting for adhd assessment. Im also on public waiting list for gastric bypass surgery.

I suffer terribly with anxiety and body shame.

I find myself secretly eating and stockpiling sweets and crap food for late at night when everyone is asleep.

I didnt even know binge eating was a thing and Im just so down in myself.

Am I alone or does this reonate with others here?

Im Irish and tbh the mental health services here are absolutely shocking.
