Trading in one addiction for another?

Posted by ClearSkies on January 23, 2006, at 7:22:53

I can't seem to stop eating. I have started taking the time I used to spend drinking in isolation and stuffing my mouth instead. It's not just sugars, it's everything that is going into my mouth. I don't feel like drinking anymore. Instead, I can't seem to stop thinking about the next meal, the next snack that is coming my way. It's EXACTLY how I used to plan my drinking, the same behaviour, the same thinking.

How can I turn around the obsessive thoughts that I've traded in? I am going to talk to my pdoc about it and move up my appointment, as I am so worried about my size and continued weight gain.

Any thoughts? I'm taking Cymbalta, Lamictal, Campral, Ambien, for bipolarII and GAD. I hardly take xanax now, and when I do .25mg is enough to greatly help me. Oh, and I exercise, although I am so upset about my body that I can't see the point in pushing myself to get fit right now.
