Like Gina said
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I think the hardest thing to accept sometimes is that others do go through this, and it is a disease. Something that has to be arrested and cared for just like diabetes or heart disease. I have lived exactly as you describe, the tears of wondering why, the guilt, the shame, the never being able to follow any food plan more than 70% because of my binges, add to that beating myself up and purging in excercise. And sometimes it seems like you get a hang on it for a little bit and then it all comes crashing in again and you find yourself in a food haze, with your emotions numb by the food and the why me's.
I think counseling is a wonderful place to start, also there are alot of wonderful supportive ladies on the Eating Disorder Support Board. Feel free to join us if you want. Gina has added some excellent links.
These too might be helpful.
