stress and binge eating

Submitted by evam on Sat, 05/11/2011 - 09:54

Dear all,

I am struggling to break the binge eating cycle, with college work and exams this year, as usual this is something I struggle with. I have gotten there before - by eating healthy meals at regular times throughout the day. But when the stress gets to me, I go off on myself and the ed comes into play.

I am wondering does anyone have any advice for self-care while studying and keeping stress levels down.

Thanks

Hope ur all doing well, XXX

Leaving Cert

So i was a little nervous going into my first exam today. It wad english paper 1. I read through all of the questions first and was only delighted to see that we had to write a personal essay on '.. a certain freedom'
with so many inspiratinaol articles about freedom here on iceburg, it was still kinda fresh in my mind :)
writing the essay even put me at ease! I better finish here, and go study shakespeare :/

good luck to everyone doing exams! x

SUCCESS IN STUDIES

This time of the year many people are doing different types of exams, it could be very stressful time, but please do not worry – here is little help from Iceberg - something what worked for many people in past…it will work for you too...
Happy studying…

Think positively about yourself – what you have done and who you are!

You must want to succeed – not just hope or wish for success.

Learn from setbacks (do not call them failures, you never fail – you just learn sometimes that you need to study more) – we all have them!

Questioning whats ED

I've been feeling really confused for the last fortnight. I dont know if I am stressed or just experiencing normal exam anxieties. I have Xmas tests coming up and even though I know they dont matter for anything, I still want to do really well in them.

Part of me wants to do well because I know I can, I know that I am very capable of getting straight A's. It gets hazy then when I try to see if part of the pressure is a result of ED.
