Helloo about a year ago i started to feel guilty whenever i eat…Sometimes i would stare at the food in front of me for long periods of time contemplating whether i should eat it or not… However, i also have bingeing periods at night where i would eat a lot and regretting it after. I feel so helpless because i dont dare to tell anyone about this issue that im facing but i really feel that i should seek professional help…can anyone tell me any hotlines i can call to get it checked asap…i really dread the feeling of struggling to eat :disappointed_relieved:

Dear @Ktokt, I found some resources online which may be helpful.

To learn more about eating disorders:

Singapore General Hospital has an Eating Disorders Programme. I encourage you to give them a call to have a chat with them about your issues and whether you need to seek help.

Take care and update us on your progress.
