31 years old with fibromyalgia and over eating disorder. Anyone else?
Hi, my name is Audrey. I have had an over eating disorder for as long as I can remember. In early 2014, at the age of 30, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndrome. At my worst (during this period) I was in the low 280's. I have been able to get back into the low 260's, but I am really struggling with getting it together. I am a stay at home mom of 5 and 3 year old boys. My husband works at least 55 hours a week. I gravitate towards food like it is air. I struggle off and on with depression and anxiety. I didn't realize how greatly fibro would change my life. I take meds in the morning and at night and have IV lidocaine therapy every 3-6 weeks. I am always hurting and sore. I just wanted to see if there was anyone else out there in a similar situation. I am trying to jump start my weight loss again. Trying to get the the gym (even though sometimes it can kick my *** to the point of not being able to function after). I am just looking for a support system. Someone whounderstands what it is like not only to deal with an eating disorder, but an invisible disease as well. Thanks for reading!
