I've never had a eating disorder but when my OCD gets bad, I start to barely eat anything for days or weeks but it goes after a while. I've had it twice over the past couple of months. I guess thats normal in OCD but it's horrible.

I had an eating disorder for a very long time. But I finally learned to let it go and I did that without professional help. You have to want to let it go first and then heal, if you don't want to let go of it not even the best therapist in the world can help you. You have to understand that every eating disorder comes is an intention to hating yourself, and you should never ever hate yourself! We all have different bodies and shapes, we should just be thankful for what our bodies do to us and how blessed we are to have something so amazing such as our bodies. You should try to eat more healthy and train, that helped me very much. It might be hard, but it is worth it.

Yes, it sucks but apparantly they co-occur together a lot

Yes. I have heard that ocd as a child can lead to bulimia as an adult. Someone said that, and I kinda can see how. The rituals turn toward food.

Contamination/health OCD struggles
Recently, I’ve been struggling a ton with what I eat/put into my body? I’m a first year college student with a few different health issues (including IBS), and lately it’s been hard for me to find food on campus that doesn’t upset my stomach. I also have pretty severe emetophobia, and feel extremely anxious when I feel sick. The ironic thing is that being anxious makes me feel even worse, so I end up sticking myself in an impossible loophole. My OCD has taken hold of these fears over the past few months, and it’s been such a struggle. Especially since people have been getting food poisoning from various dining halls on my campus lately. My OCD has gotten so bad that sometimes I’m too afraid to eat food other than what I buy myself. I feel so trapped. I don’t want my OCD to affect my physical health or prevent me from eating, bc I love eating!! It’s the fear of getting sick that’s the problem. And it’s even harder when everything is so unfamiliar. Just wondering if anyone could relate. Advice is appreciated!

OCD affecting my way of eating
Lately I have been struggling with binge eating in an odd way I haven’t experienced before. I have been eating a bunch more each night because “it could be my last meal” and I’m not sure how to break the cycle. I’m not hungry, but I force myself because my brain is telling me I’ll never get to experience that again. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
