Dear humour,

Maybe there is more than one reason causing me to binge eat. I am not able to figure it out. I feel hungry most of the time but this is not happening since a long time, just a recent development.

If you feel hungry most of the time, it could be even something to do with your health, e.g. diabetes or hyperthyroidism. Did you have your blood work done recently? When you binge eat, do you feel hungry, or it’s more like “emotional” eating?

Yes Tee, I am currently living with my mother.

And how is it to live with your mother? You’ve shared that you like to help, so I am guessing you’re helping her a lot? How is it otherwise? (if you’d like to share)

I think understanding your relationship with your mother (and your late father) can help you understand yourself and also the way you behave in romantic relationships. For example, if we haven’t felt loved as children, we’ll often be attracted to people who aren’t interested in us, or who are emotionally unavailable. And we’ll suffer because our love isn’t reciprocated. Maybe you had experiences like that?
