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.

CW: Eating disorders - - - - - - - - - - - - Does anyone here have an eating disorder on top of OCD? I can’t stop thinking about the food I just ate, and how full it makes me feel.

Anyone deal with eating disorder behavior and OCD? I’m currently in recovery and have been practicing Intuitive Eating for a few months. It’s helped a little, but I’m still very preoccupied by my body image and calories, orthorexia, etc. I try not to give into these thoughts and act on them, but it’s very tough. It’s interfering with work, school, and my relationships. Has anyone broken out of this? Please help!

Eating disorder & OCD
When I was in treatment for OCD, I developed an eating disorder. So my OCD did decrease, but I felt like the eating disorder took its place. Now lm in eating disorder treatment and my eating disorder decreases, but guess what: my OCD gets worse and worse.. Besides that, I feel like my eating disorder is kinda like my OCD. At first I was totally obsessed with calories and losing weight and everything that had to do with it, 24/7.. Than after being anorexic, I developed bulimia and binge eating disorder. I felt like being fat was the intrusion, losing weight by purging restricting, overexercising and searching information about losing weight hours a day were the compulsions. Binges were caused by an extreme urge to get rid of my emotions, so also the binges felt like compulsions to me. Do people recognize this? What do you think about Eating disorders and OCD?
