hello jbird7.
i know exactly how u feel but fortunately 4 you,youre young and can get help.
i on the other hand was a binger 4 about 15 yrs and didnt know why i was till i found out that DEPRESSION was/is the ROOT 2 my overeating.
i actually went on anti depressants last year and totally stopped.
but it would be important 4 you 2 first talk 2 someone like a psychiatrist or even someone who specializes in overeating. i never thought it would help talking about my problems but it really helps.
im sure college life can b very stressful and anxiety ridden as well so that could also b the culprit of your over eating.
antidepressants arent 4 everyone but i will say natural herbs are the most healthy. u can try ST JOHNS WORT(4 depression),VALERIAN ROOT(4 stress and anxiety)
i hope everything goes well 4 you,take care and if u have any questions 4 me about meds or psychiatry u can message me
