I have experienced this kind of troubles for two years. It strange, because when I was younger, I really didn't care about food. But I think you're right, it's certainly a way to find comfort.
Good new is, trying to overcome this bad behavior could provides some benefits. Personnally I try now to do more sports (to burn some kcal 😀) and especially, I try to find more activities, because this come mosty when I'm inactive.
Yes almost all my life I have binged ate...makes you feel better for a moment then worst after. Battling it most my life I try to limit myself now or watch what I keep in the house , which is hard with 2 kids. Just don't beat yourself up too much when it happens:)
I cope with my sadness with music. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have at least that. When I'm feeling down, I'll just listen to some depressive songs, and, ironically, it will make me feel better.
Totally the same here.
I've never "binge" eaten, but in the past I had periods where I'd gain a few pounds naturally because I'd never want to go out or anything, so I was just at home snacking all the time, sometimes simply out of boredom.
