I so need to rant. I feel like I'm drowning in debt and have no way out. A lot of this debt is due to necessities, i.e. medical bills, rent, etc. I have nothing left when I pay these bills, and...

Hey GB, BnotAfriad, and HT, A dietician would definitely help, but I think my food binges is emotional. It's so weird that I will eat although I'm stuff. It's like my emotions take over. I've talked...
