I am having difficulty to sleep and over eating as well. I'm not able to control and even if I am full I'm eating a lot and it's making me very guilty. I have been struggling with the same problem from many yrs

Hello, It is advisable that you get detailed examinations done, medical as well as psychiatric. Such symptoms can be seen with some endocrine disturbances also. If we rule that out, we can see for specific psychiatric causes, which can be treated effectively with medications and/or psychotherapy.

Hi, The difficulty with sleep and compulsive overeating despite feeling full, especially with accompanying guilt and a chronic course, could be indicative of Binge Eating Disorder (BED) or part of a broader emotional dysregulation or anxiety/depressive spectrum. These behaviors often serve as coping mechanisms in response to emotional distress, and the cycle of guilt can further fuel the pattern. It’s important to understand that this is not simply about willpower. Long-standing eating and sleep difficulties are often rooted in psychological or neurochemical imbalances and are treatable with the right support.
Next Steps
1. Consult a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist for assessment of eating and mood disorders. 2. A combination of therapy (especially CBT for eating disorders) and possible medication can be very helpful. 3. Track your eating patterns and emotional states to discuss during the consultation. 4. Start incorporating structure in meals and sleep hygiene practices while professional help is being arranged.
Health Tips
Avoid self-criticism- it often worsens the cycle. Focus on awareness and structured care rather than control. With help, it is possible to overcome these struggles and build a healthier relationship with food and sleep.
