I am losing control with bingeing. It is really bad here with so much Christmas food around the house. Why can't I just have more control? Right now I am dizzy from eating so much sugar.
I have a phone session with my therapist tomorrow. I think I need to finally talk about this with him. I worry that what if he doesn't understand. It is out of control and I worry about more serious blood sugar issues.

I am taking a babble break and leaving here for a while
I feel so enraged and pissed all of the time. I am angry because no body in my life believes me, except my therapist, and I have distorted how I see him. I really don't think he cares like I want him to. Everbody thinks I overreact and create mountains out of mole hills. This makes me want to really show them and do something that they will feel sorry ever happened.
I think I post too much on here. I have never had it offered to me, but I would be a complete failure group therapy.
going f-cking crazy
bye for now

I agree that you are not alone, Annabelle.
I noticed in your other posts that you seem very harsh on yourself. There's a pattern....where you seem to feel badly about having the emotions you feel...I understand that it's already hard enough to have those feelings...but to feel bad about having them too? it can get torturous..
Telling my therapist about my feelings over and over-then seeing him accept them/me - no matter what they were about, or how intense they were - over and over - is what has helped me stop feeling critical of myself, calmed my superego (to put it in simplistic terms). once you get improvement in that area, you're closer to feeling content.
I know you had said you have trouble telling your therapist about many of your feelings, but when you are able to be more open with him, you will start to feel safe to open up more...which will allow him to accept more of you....and his acceptence of you and all your feelings will start to be internalized.
The act of continually being accepted, all feelings and thoughts, is part of the process...and if you trust the process, even if you don't totally trust your therapist yet, maybe you can start to see that there is light at the end. Better days are ahead, they really are.
