One binge won’t throw you off track; your body will compensate to bring itself to equilibrium. Even a short streak of binges won’t cause weight gain in someone who’s otherwise following a healthy diet.

Even so, binging won’t help you feel better so it’s best to avoid. I totally get the urge to eat emotionally, but try to steer yourself away from it. Focus on seeing food as only fuel and nutrition, and look for comfort in non-food avenues—wrapping yourself in a warm and soft blanket, taking a hot bath, getting a massage, stretching, listening to guided meditations, etc. You’re gonna be okay!
