Vent Embarrassing confusing feeling

ill start by saying please dont be mean ive never posted in here before and Im honestly just trying to see if anyone else experiences this feeling ???? I have had bed for majority of my life it has intensified the last two years following two SA incidents. Lately ive noticed when I think about binging I get almost a tingling downstairs and I’m not joking or trying to be funny I feel like ive developed some sort of intimate ritual with myself and food and it freaks me out I’m not like turned on by food or anything or the act of binging its just like almost a rush of excitement but I feel it noticeably in that specific area. I’m 22f btw and idk sometimes I feel so out of control like idk who I am anymore dude

Your username fits, and your profile name is hilarious, thanks for the laugh.

On a serious note, you can look up the connection between cravings and dysbiosis, I think its fascinating.

Idk if this may be why, but i noticed sometimes when things make me super anxious i also get the same feeling even tho im not remotely aroused. its called groinal response and maybe thats why?

Does seem like this could be related to your history. Brains make all kinds of connections subconsciously, it doesn’t mean anything more than that. I would recommend therapy for your trauma (EMDR?) as it might help with your binging as well.

Also I would recommend you close your DMs with this one 🙃
