I can fully understand what you are going through and the anxiety it is causing you. It does sound to me that you are eating for comfort. Perhaps, with your therapist, you can identify what is causing you to seek comfort or what is triggering you to turn to food. I have eaten for comfort on many occasions, it's kind of like drinking. Once you start, you cant stop. I don't think I have an ED but I can safely say that my mental attitude and bearing with regards to my weight and eating is not healthy. I am presently fighting a colossal battle with my weight thanks to meds.
I am sure that you will benefit from sharing this with your therapist. And as you said no-one knows about it so you may feel a great relief in being able to share it with someone who can constructively help you.
I wish you the best and let us know how it goes.
