- I need some stress relief please. ::language::

January 31, 2004

Hi everyone,

I consider this group one of my first line of defense (support group) and I

hope you all don't mind. Right now I'm really shaky...I have been extremely

stressed the past week - all week - due to LTD (long term disability) and SSD

(social security disability) reviews, being reviewed for Section 8 - housing

help, and lastly also for chapter seven bankruptcy due to credit cards,

health/medical bills.

I am just going to come out and be sickening honest with you. Today I ate 5

1/2 donuts because of my fears/stresses. I do deep breathing, but not all the

time can I slow my breathing down. I have binged on more than that in the

past, and I am sick of it - and consequently - sick of me because of it. I want

to loose weight. I had bariatric surgery NOT to screw it all up by eating

this ~ quite honest ~ CRAP. ::sigh::

I was just wishing if any of you could give stress relief or relaxation

support techniques, but ones that are not too involved - ie: not getting in to

a

warm bubble bath? As much as I would love to, it is not happening due to the

fact I need and want to be able to curb this stress and hunger due to it, or

shopping if that happens! I either eat or shop due to stress/as a " release "

action/mechanism/what-have-you.

Also, am I the only one out there that binge eats like that when stressed?

Am I the only one that has a compulsion to eat and shop, and an addiction to

eat and shop, due to stress and trying to survive what seem insurmountable?

I thank you eveyone.

Take care, be well, much love.

Sincerely,
