Ok, so here in the past few years, I have had issues with overeating...I never really thought about it much until today. I realize that I eat a lot, and I have no means of really controlling it, because I'm either starving myself, or binging...It's never really a happy medium.
I've also noticed I get hungry and have quite an appetite. I can put away a lot of food, and I'm ashamed of it. Coming to terms with realizing that the reason I do it is because of meds, and because of my way of coping with anxiety, depression, or boredom. However, if I don't eat first thing in the morning, and distract myself, I can go almost the whole day without eating. My eating patterns are really messed up, and so is my sleep. I struggle with Sleep apnea, and recently had surgery to correct it. Found out I have a deviated septum too. About three months after my surgery, my friends have pointed out that I sleep walk, or don't remember being awoken, and that I also am starting to snore real bad again.
The point I'm getting at is, is it a possibility that I have some kind of eating disorder, and also, for those who have sleep apnea, or a sleep disorder...what should I do? I have also found myself able to sleep over my alarm clock, and sleep four 20 hours straight. I've almost missed work a few times. What should I do so I can wake up and hear my alarm clock in time for work? Any help is appreciated...Thanks
