advice regarding glp-1s

Its been a long time since Ive posted but Im thinking about starting a glp-1 medication if Il approved by doctors. I have been struggling with my weight and binge eating for the last few years. I now weight over 15 stone and Im only 5’5 so I am very overweight. My m.e/cfs, fibromyalgia and dysautonomia make my binge eating worse because when Im feeling so unwell binging seems to be my bodys first response.

Being so overweight is making me very depressed. I’m in therapy, Ive tried hypnotherapy, CBT, Slimming World, Weight Watchers and counting calories. Nothings worked or I will lose 5-7 pounds and then I will spiral again and gain it back. Im not starting to feel the effects of being overweight so I know I desperately need to do something about it. I constantly think about food and I mainly want to try glp-1 to see if it quiets down that horrible voice in the back of my head that shouts about food 24/7.

For me Ive been pretty anti glp-1 because I keep hearing all these horror stories even though I know the medication had worked for millions of people and every medication has side effects. Im just scared but Ive also reached a point where I cant go on like this.

So, any advice (good or bad) please share with me. If you’ve tried it or if you haven’t but something else worked for you, please let me know. Thank you in advance

I can’t make myself throw up. I tried everything and I just can’t. After I binge I feel like a failure doubly. The next day I fast few h and again.

Vyvanse

My vyvanse has been increased to 50mg, and I noticed that I have a lot of adrenaline. But I did notice that it’s really helping me with my binge eating disorder. #ADHDInGirls #BINGE eating disorder

How do I stop a #BINGE when #depressed ?

I've had #Anxiety and #Depression for about 15 years now, but lately, life's been difficult and it's getting to me. I have undiagnosed binge eating problems that are exacerbated by depression and anxiety.

My question is, how do I get back to focusing on my health and nourishing my soul, rather than eating everything in sight when I am feeling this way? #BingeEatingDisorder #Depression #Anxiety #help

Weight

Usually I stress eat and also eat a lot when I’m home alone. I started to lose weight because I was a little more active and Wellbutrin makes me not as hungry. This started in August. It’s now beginning of March and i have lost about 60 lbs. before I wasn’t paying attention or trying to lose weight ...now I like to control my stress eating but it may have gotten out of control. I am eating probably 500 calories a day and I have noticed my hair is thinner. But I don’t want to gain any weight. #Depression #BINGE #FoodRestrictions #Selfharm

#Male #EatingDisorder

Hi my name is Juan, I'm a male with a #BINGE #bed I have struggled for over 10 years and I attended a IOP treatment program for 3 months back in 2017. I observed while attending I'm was the only man their and 99.9% we're all women. I noticed majority of the clients feared me because some of them were sexually assaulted or have bad relationships with there dad's. After I graduated from IOP program, I haven't gone back because I don't feel really supported and alone living with a eating disorder. I feel as if there is lack of eqauilty ED community, men do struggle but we keep slient though.
