I have lost a lot and not very he althy, I thought that this would increase my self-esteem, but it is worse … I have bouts of hysteria, cry, get angry easily, often get angry for no reason. All the time it seems to me that I am hopeless, useless, useless. In addition, I have attacks of hunger for sweets. I can eat 0.5 kg of chocolate candies and cookies in 2 days. The weekend is the worst and that's when I have these attacks, because during the week I study and try not to think about it. What do I do with it? I don't want no psychotropics at this age … Are there any herbal remedies?
You fell into a vicious cycle of non-eating and binge eating. It is an increasingly common affliction of girls and young women, which can have a disastrous effect on mental and physical he alth. You certainly need some psychotherapeutic help, and maybe also psychiatric help. As for medications: herbal remedies won't do much good here. The fear of "psychotropics" is a myth because there is no uniform group of "psychotropics". There are also coffee, tea, alcohol and cigarettes - but no one panics about them. Modern psychotropic drugs are often much less toxic than popular over-the-counter drugs. They are sometimes useful, and often necessary.
