The Eating Disorder Diaries

Entry 9: Did my birth control make my eating disorder worse?

Amy Goeckel Season 1 Episode 9

Have you ever felt like your eating disorder symptoms flared up significantly during PMS? Join Amy in Entry 9 as she discusses her experience with PMS and birth control and how that impacted her eating disorder.  After getting her hormones measured only to discover her estrogen levels were abnormally high during PMS was she able to deduce that birth controls with high estrogen levels had extremely negative impacts on her. Once she took control of understanding her hormones as well as the phases of the menstrual cycle, she was able to come to a point of healing and give herself way more grace during that (sometimes insufferable) time of the month and she wants you to learn how to do the same!
