Hi Kris, I think blocking things from your mind and trying to go through life ignoring issues is quite common for many people, so don't worry. I see it in people around me all of the time, they don't try and address issues, just try to pretend they are not there. I had gastric bypass surgery, and previously used food as my comfort for many issues that I had. Food made everything ok, and while others probably don't let the eating spiral as out of control as I once did, many do use food as a 'pick me up' to try and take their mind off things. Surgery was my turning point, I had no choice as I was unable to do that anymore. You need to do your version of surgery, face up to the things that are troubling you - the hard thing is that it's often quite painful to face these things, I have been told even in counselling, it's hard to talk about the things you'd rather repress. But once you get through that difficult patch, you will really feel the benefit! And what safer platform than surrounded by friends here |
