binge eating

I binge eat when I get severely depressed, but lately that has not helped me, but still I cannot help myself.  I have been to overeaters anonymous, therapists, counselors, nothing seems to work.  Does anyone have any new coping skills?

Have you  considered drug therapies to help? Sometimes when you treat the underlying mental issues like anxiety or depression with drug interventions, it helps take the edge off of  the bingeing. Now, it is not a miracle, but it simply lets the voice of no, come out and then allows you to actually listen to it and reason with yourself a little more. Again, sometimes you will still fall prey to the eating voice and go off track, but in my expereince, you have less of that and more successful days. Good luck.
