A few weeks ago, my friend told me that she had bulimia. The next week I told my friends that I had depression and cut. I learned that another friend had the same problems. They are both getting help, but I still make sure sure that she is not left alone after she has eaten high calorie foods. I find myself looking at my friend’s wrists daily. Recently, I told them that I was hearing a voice that was telling me to kill myself and the look on their faces scared me. I never realized that one month could change everything. I don’t go to a therapist or take medication, but they think that it would be best for me. They don’t understand that I think that I deserve to be sad and that I do not want help. I know how worried they are about me because I am also worried about them.

You sound like a really good friend. But, it also soundss like you all are enabling each other. When you focus on your friends eating disorder it helps you escape from your depression and gives you a purpose right? Probably is the same for them, too.
I would kill to have friends like that.
Get over it.
@DarkerImagery thank you, i think it really helps listening to each others problems because for a brief moment you forget your own. That’s one of the reasons I joined this website.
@Donnie I can’t “get over it,” my only friends have almost killed themselves and if they die I am going to kill myself
It’s down to you naomi.
You’re never going to get better if you don’t want help. You don’t deserve to be sad: no one does.
Friend’s come & go. naomi you do what theyn do.?
I really hate relying on other people, but I’ve been friends with them my entire life. Without them I would be alone.
