Re: Anxiety and eating disorders? - April 14th 2014, 03:47 PM

I have anxiety and also have some eating disorder symptoms, and I think personally they often are related, though obviously I can't speak for anyone else. For example, a huge part of my anxiety is not feeling in control -> controlling my food helps (e.g. calorie counting). I think that if someone suffers from both there's probably a fairly high chance they have some relation to each other just because of how mental illness often works, kind of seeping into your life, so it doesn't have a choice but to mix with any other thoughts. This got kind of rambly, and sorry if I wasn't helpful, but I'm interested to see where this thread goes.


I'm perfectly normal; it's the rest of the world that's insane.
