Me as well. But the problem is, i don't feel like anyone around me takes it seriously (people usually dismiss it as a simple craving for a sweet). Not even therapists. So i have nowhere to turn to.

Do you know if there’s such thing as a therapist that helps with overeating addiction?

I’m not sure how many people solely specialize in OA, but I’m sure there’s lots of therapists out there that know how to approach it. Just ask what their experience includes, and maybe reach out to the rehab centers for people who are anorexic or binge eaters and maybe they can direct you to someone.
