I need help

---

The only thing telling me I should eat is my stomach a couple times a day and the knowledge that I'm supposed to. My appetite comes and goes with how depressed I am. I really just don't feel or want to eat.

Have you seen a doctor about meds?

wellbutrin and i've been on and off various antidepressants for the past 5 years and clinically depressed for the past decade. So the depressants aren't exactly going to make me magically better or bring back my appetite.

Maybe you should force yourself to eat something. i think that eating will help with your mood as well. ever notice how full people always seem to be in a highten state? try it, even if it's just a little, that's a start.

I really need help now. I started cutting again yesterday. I got all happy that I did it and felt good. But I know i'm not supposed to and a part of me doesn't want to do it. So I'm in this turmoil to figure out if I'll do it. Not to mention I'm so exhausted because I get 5 hours of sleep or less a day and my body just feels like its going to crash. I go from being ok with my lifes current situation and being heart broken to all out tears and misery. It's hard for me to reach out to someone that goes to my school. I have no where but here for help. Everyone that knows me says I'm a strong person...I really am not that strong. I'm just getting tired of dealing with everything and don't see the reason why I'm waking up in the morning.

You're right your body is going to crash at some point if you don't eat? How much water do you intake a day?

32 oz of water a day... I do eat occasionally...very little amount of food. But I do eat.

You really need to eat more no matter what it takes! I really feel sorry for you!

If you have to go to the hospital and miss some classes, you can surely get a doctor's note for making up incompletes, can't you? A cousin of mine dealt with anorexia and depression a couple of years ago. She ended up in the hospital because she was so sick. But she started getting treatment and seeing a therapist. I just saw her last month and she looks great! She's graduated, she has a good job and minus the boyfriend problems, she's doing much better! If you need to go to the hospital, then do it. Forget about school right now and worry about getting better, because if you are not feeling well, you won't be able to do well in school anyway.Also, maybe you can try some slim fast or shakes or something? Any carbs that you can manage to get into your system will be good, but the best thing is to see a doctor right away! At least call and talk to a nurse...do something! Not eating is serious. You really need to get some help with your struggles.

Please don’t ever feel guilty for you depression. I took some meds a while ago. My doc said that the meds didn’t work because the situation wasn’t chemical, but rather, situational. He meant that there was a real life issue that was dragging me down. I think I agree mostly. I’m in a hole right now but it has more to do with my situation than my chemistry.Cut, if you must. But don’t kill yourself!
