I am a 21-year-old living in Uganda, a country where being true to myself comes at an unimaginable cost. Recently, my world was shattered when my family discovered my truth – that I am a proud member of the LGBTQ community. Their response was anything but accepting. My own father disowned me, and to my horror, one of my uncles even suggested handing me over to the authorities. Faced with rejection and the looming threat of persecution, I made the painful decision to leave my family behind and seek refuge at a friend's place. Little did I know that my friend, too, held deep-seated anti-gay beliefs. I found myself isolated, with nobody to turn to for support. The weight of their disapproval and the loneliness I felt pushed me to the brink of despair. I needed help, someone who would listen without judgment. In my darkest hour, I reached out to the national mental health services, hoping for solace and guidance. But instead of finding empathy, the counselor echoed the hurtful words of my family, dismissing my identity and urging me to conform. It felt like another betrayal, amplifying the torment within me. However, in the vast digital landscape, I discovered a lifeline. International organizations such as the Trevor Project, Samaritans, Befrienders, and Feel You became my pillars of support. They offered me a safe space to share my truth and provided the understanding and compassion I so desperately needed. Through their guidance, I regained strength and found the courage to fight for my own well-being. Now, I stand at a crucial turning point in my life. For my own safety, I am considering leaving Uganda behind. But deep within me, a fire burns—a desire to create lasting change, to help others like me who remain trapped in a society that refuses to accept them.

hi, I’m new here. I have ADHD and struggle with binge eating disorder. I've been trying to lose weight for years. I honestly believe I won’t be happy until I change myself. I am overweight, and I need to lose weight to feel better about myself, and be able to maintain any connections with friends, also to have any serious romantic relationships.

The thing is, my binge eating isn’t always purely emotional. I do get lonely and isolated, and it may turn to food being my source of comfort. However, I have reasons to think my ADHD is highly responsible for my binging because my brain is seeking the easy dopamine it can’t produce in sufficient quantities on its own. I get a specific feeling from eating that I suppose is a dopamine boost. I crave carbs and am addicted to salty and sugary snacks. At times food is all I think about as I go about my day. It’s the only thing that consistently improves my mood, and, despite all the diets and eating plans, I always give in to binging in the end. I tried to restrict unhealthy products and deprive myself of them, but it only worked for a few days, and resulted in mad binging when I finally gave in to my urge.

I’m so desperate to lose this weight. I just want to feel normal about food and not associate it with misery. But I don’t know how.
