What I do is remove all junk food and replace it with healthy “junk”food..if it’s not there you don’t eat it..btw make sure you test yourself. Sometimes high sugars can build your anxiety worst. I also noticed that using natural remedies like kava, ashwagandha, etc. have helped me a lot to get back to relax.. no lie to you I was suffering for months until I looked for help in natural remedies. Also writing it down your thoughts helps you heal more. Don’t stress to stop yourself from eating though. Take it step my step.

I find that I go to extremes. Either I follow an extremely strict diet so that I can loose weight or I'm binging. There's no in between. I want to not care about my weight anymore. It's annoying me to the max. If I go over my calorie goal then I feel I HAVE to ruin it "all the way" so I can restart, but that's been EVERYDAY. I have pcos so it's making my hormones go completely wack. I'm breaking out horribly and having major mood swings.

@WillingEngine Unfortunately for me after I stopped intermittent fasting I started binging. I was doing it for all the wrong reasons though.

@WillingEngine I think for me the intermittent fasting is what got the ball rolling for the binging

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?

Anyone have any suggestions?
I have intrusive thoughts about pornography with family, friends or even strangers. I really tried to block them out but it seems they always get triggered.l feel extreme guilt and this massive pit in my stomatach that is just there 24/7 and it WONT GO AWAY! I know this may sound weird but my mum knows about this as she noticed something was wrong, but every time I get a thought I always feel the need to tell her i keep thinking that I have done something wrong and that my guilt will go away if i tell BUT IT DOESN’T It just gets worse and another thing pop in and another. ITS A NEVER ENDING CYCLE and it seems like I just can’t break free. What do I do? Anyone who has also gone through this how did you recover and get your life back?

How has your trauma shaped your OCD?
I feel like after years of living in survival mode from various back to back traumas, I don’t know how to turn off my brain. It’s always in some sort of overstimulated cycle of overthinking, rumination, self checking, and seeking reassurance. I know there will be more peace after treatment. But just hating like I’m stuck in always feeling like I’m waiting for the next shoe to drop when so many shit things have happened to me early in life. How am I suppose to be excited about what’s next?
