Hi beautiful people!

I’m a recovering bulimic and anorexic who has been suffering from a whole new strange syndrome for the past six months. I’m writing this post not for professional medical advice but to see if anyone else has experienced this and can help me find some hope because I am feeling rather hopeless.

What I have is called Night Eating Syndrome. Every night, I wake up every two or three hours ravenously hungry. It doesn’t matter what I eat during the day or at night, how much exercise I get, whether or not I take a sleep med. Every night I wake up at least three times and have to binge on food to get back to sleep. If I eat and wake up two hours later, I am hungry again.

I’m curious to know if anyone else has experienced this because I’m starting to think this was caused by my eating disorder. It’s unraveling my life I’m so many ways. I’m tired every day, and even though I’m working on body positivity, I am gaining massive amounts of weight from this even when I eat healthy during the day.

I feel like I conquered my eating disorder and now am cursed with this whole new subconscious thing. I don’t know what to do. Any words of encouragement or advice on how to keep my spirits up would be much appreciated.
