Question by : Do you have to be obese or really overweight to have a binge eating disorder?
Well i have always had a problem with food. Its just these days there’s so many different names for eating disorders so i dont know…
I had anorexia when i was 13-15. i recovered quickly and started binging. Not being sick, just eating alot of junk food all at once. I never had problems with being overweight up until a year ago ( i was on anti depressants tho)….anyway, recently i feel “normal-ish”. I’ve tried to control what i eat and exercise. I would say im quite an extreme person, either one way or the other, there seems to be no inbetween for me.
So yesterday i bought a tin of celebrations and i’ve nearly finished the lot and i feel sick but i cant stop and i dont know why because i thought i didnt crave sugar anymore. Once, i had to sleep with a bucket next to my bed cuz i ate so much and even though i thought to myself the only thing thats gona make me stop eating chocolate and crap is if im sick…….so now im quite slim, i feel good, but im angry that i have just binged…so what can i do? starve myself of sugar like a drug addict??
Portion controls doesn’t work for me unfortunately. And “a lot” would be enough to make me sick.
Best answer:
Answer by John S Define “a lot”? Eating 12 Doritos is normal; eating 70 is sick.
I would advise portion controls, not going cold turkey.

Question by [[Frippery]]: What is the difference in highs of acid and heroin?
Purely curious. I’d assume the reason addicts choose the more addictive drugs is because they have better highs on them, but what is the difference? Not just heroin either, but any of the addictive drugs like that.
Best answer:
Answer by gymnastnikki well, these have different highs because different types of drugs have different highs (example: stimulants, depressants, inhalants, cannabinoids, opioids, hallucinogens, etc.)
acid:
On acid, certain things get distorted, and they are mainly what you are focusing on. Acid also has a tendency to loosen the boundaries of color, so you often have your vision dominated by a certain shade or will see colors seem to swirl and transfer with each other.
As for the thought process, acid (at least for my buddy) tends to generate extremely complex and deep conversation about absolutely mundane things.
heroin:
What the high does is it makes you feel very, very, relaxed, extremely euphoric, and makes you have good outlooks on life.
crystal meth:
The high, usually begins before any drug or chemical enters the body. Anticipation is a huge factor for most addictions. But aside from that, there are four ways of taking meth.
Eating, snorting, smoking, and shooting. A more rare form is like a suppository, but we’ll avoid that for now. It doesn’t matter how it is ingested in the fact that the meth molecule needs to reach the blood and then the central nervous system to be effective. It does that more quickly via injection or smoking than by snorting or eating. The effects are essentially the same, the rate of onset, and intensity will vary with the method of ingestion.
When meth hits the brain, it causes a chemical reaction to take place. It stimulates the center portion of the brain. That is the portion that regulates our more primitive functions such as the “Fight or flight” reaction of adrenalin, being alert, confident, selfish, self-centered, energetic, and so on. Remember, meth is essentially a stimulant, like coffee is a stimulant. It wakes you up. Meth users, take enough so that the body is overly-stimulated. Way Overly. Stimulation is what causes a meth user to keep craving. Compare it to running on a set of worn out batteries and then being plugged into a wall socket to get the power. Normal life would be rechargeable batteries. Meth is like plugging into 220 volts or even 440. That would be like plugging into four wall sockets at the same time. Talk about being supercharged !
The initial rush is a flood of dopamine (feel good chemical in the brain), like a current of energy hitting the body. I’ve heard a few people, not many but one woman whom you all know talked about this in chat, another guy from LA CMA and me who have had spontaneous orgasm upon the manifestation of the meth rush. Consider the power in that. I doubt if eating, snorting, or even smoking meth could induce such a phenomenon but injection will in some cases. That intense initial rush will last less than a minute in most cases. But what follows is almost as pleasurable.
Depending upon the dose, the high, the euphoria, the total sense of well-being will be present for an hour, maybe three or four and then a period of indecisiveness takes over.
The indecisiveness or ambivalence will become, “Should I do more?” or “Should I think about coming down in the next six to ten hours.”
We often use the term “clean” rather than “sober” when speaking of abstaining from meth – and for good reason. In the sense that a drinker of liquor gets drunk or intoxicated from alcohol, a meth user is totally sober. Alcohol affects a different part of the brain than meth. Slurred speech, delayed reaction time, inability to balance and respond are common with drunks. Those qualities are the opposite and vastly heightened and keenly improved upon ingesting stimulants.
crack:
Crack-cocaine delivers an intensity of pleasure completely outside the normal range of human experience. It offers the most wonderful state of consciousness, and the most intense sense of being alive, the user will ever enjoy. (S)he will access heightened states of being whose modes are unknown to chemically-naïve contemporaries. Groping for adequate words, crack-takers sometimes speak of the rush in terms of a “whole-body orgasm”. Drug-naive virgins – slightly shop-soiled or otherwise – cannot be confident (unless in thrall to ill-conceived logical behaviourist theories of meaning) that they have grasped the significance of such an expression. For to do so, it would be necessary to take the drug via its distinctive delivery-mechanism oneself. This is at best very imprudent.
Question by Funny…: Why not legalize pot and all other drugs?
Quick way to provide some funds for the cash-strapped federal government
End the drug war for the most part
Afghanistan would have a legal cash-crop that could be sold to western countries directly, encouraging western civility and discouraging association with terrorist groups who use poppy-seed profits to buy guns and fund terrorist operations
Drug-related violence and prison populations would go down
This really seems like a no-brainer to me. Legalize drugs and all of this would come true- it’s a fact. Proof of 2 positive effects-
“The paper, published by Cato in April, found that in the five years after personal possession was decriminalized, illegal drug use among teens in Portugal declined and rates of new HIV infections caused by sharing of dirty needles dropped, while the number of people seeking treatment for drug addiction more than doubled.”
Question by : Would marijuana help a recovering alcoholic?
I was reading earlier that some of the symptoms exhibited by recovering alcoholics are insomnia, nightmares, irritability, and loss of appetite. Marijuana is a proven sleep aid and an appetite enhancer; it also typically lessens irritability. All that said, it seems as if marijuana would be an excellent medicine for a recovering alcoholic. Is this the case? If it isn’t, why? I’m not looking for an answer based on moral criteria and its current legal status, by the way.
Best answer:
Answer by Matthew yes it is…but at the same time it not because it could just replace one addiction with another but if you use it right and don’t abuse it…it would be a great medicine

Question by A F: 22 days sober at 54 years old. Does it get better and when?
After drinking beer for 30+ years, bingeing 2wice a week I am tired and want the pain to stop…Unfortunately the mental anguish is way more difficult than I ever expected…what is wrong with my life?
Best answer:
Answer by Shibi I can’t really tell you what is wrong with your life — I don’t know much about you and it’s not my place to judge the wrongness or rightness of your existence. It does seem like you are very unhappy and that drinking (beer) seems to be an issue. Maybe some emotional support would help. Have you looked into an AA program? Look for one in your area — it may help you to know that plenty of people feel just like you and they bear the unbearable, just like you can. (Don’t be intimidated by AA, it’s a good thing, I think). Good luck and congratulations: 22 days sober is something to be proud of.
