I have been binge eating for the past 2 years, and my husband doesn’t know. My mom always pressured me to be VERY thin, and now that I’m married, I’m so scared of becoming a fat wife and I’m gradually gaining quite a bit of weight. It is ruling my life and causing me to binge eat, (hide eating way too much at once, mostly at night)… this is my way of dealing with my stress, and it’s effecting me the opposite way by weight gain. I don’t want to go to the Dr.’s about it because I don’t want a mental disorder on my records and I don’t want my husband to know how depressed I am. Also, I hear that anti-d’s can cause weight gain! What can I do???

*** Thank you so much for your replies. I joined Yahoo, just to ask this and have anxiously been awaiting an answer. One thing I did not mention though, (about my husband & I), is that we are very “natural” so to speak, and I know how much he disapproves of medication, (as do I), but I don’t know what else to do!
Sorry I re-posted it… I obviously have no idea what I’m doing. =]

You should not be embarassed to seek medical attention, and you clearly need it.
So what if there is something on your records? Depression is the most treated condition in the western world, and a lot of people go through it to become happy and healthy. Besides, your records are your own and doctors are professionals – they won’t judge you for needing some help. I would suggest talking to your husband though – you might find he is a lot more understanding and insightful than you think.
Exercise will help with both your depression and weight gain. But you do need to see a doctor. Perhaps you don’t even have depression, but something else, like an anxiety disorder.
Don’t fall for the naturalistic fallacy. Natural does not equal safe, and further it is perfectly natural to go to a doctor when you are unwell. Medical science is your best option by far, for treating this kind of problem.

I think you need to worry a little less about what you look like, get it together and get some help! You’re more concerned about having something on your health record than being a mentally stable person. Seriously, you need to figure out what’s most important first, before you make any decision. And if your husband won’t understand, then I guess he’s not the right one for you.
One thing that worked wonders for me was Panicyl. It is natural! I was the same as you…not wanting meds and this is the only that has worked. Good Luck
