Struggling with Binge Eating During COVID-19? Five Tips for Getting Help

Do you feel stuck at home in San Diego and elsewhere, watching the news on COVID-19? Perhaps you’re filled with fear as you see the number of cases and deaths rise. Your kids may be climbing all over you or running around the house, screaming like banshees. You feel overwhelmed, isolated, and alone.

Do you feel flooded with anxiety, trapped, and you don’t know where to turn? Your eyes might drift to the stacks of food, knowing that if you start eating, you can get some temporary relief. You may even wait until everyone goes to bed to start eating so no one will know. When you do binge, does it seem like you’re detaching from your problems and numbing out?

Afterward, you might feel shame, regret, and disgust. You promise yourself that you’ll never do it again. The next morning, you may even limit your food. Then the anxiety and hunger build throughout the day, and you could end up binging all over again. You aren’t able to see an in-person eating disorder therapist or seek eating disorder treatment. What can you do to get help with your binge eating?

"My Eating Disorder Recovery Story": Get to Know Author and Advocate Shannon Kopp

Hi everyone! I first met author and advocate Shannon Kopp several years ago, when she was working in the eating disorder field in San Diego. I vividly remember having lunch at Panera, and I felt an instant connection with her. She was so AUTHENTIC and open and honest about her eating disorder recovery story. It impressed me so much. Shannon shared how she felt so passionate about helping people recover from eating disorders. At that time, she was working on writing a book on her recovery, and she published it a couple of years later—it’s called Pound for Pound: The Story of One Woman’s Recovery and the Shelter Dogs Who Loved Her Back to Life. it’s truly inspiring. Since that time, Shannon has also started a nonprofit organization called SoulPaws Recovery that does a lot of awesome work, especially in San Diego. She is also a National Recovery Advocate for Eating Recovery Center. I’m excited for you to get to know Shannon!
