A little over two years ago one of my friends killed herself. We were in 8th grade… Ever since then i have struggled with depression, cutting, and eating disorders… Lately ive found myself getting better, living happier… My boyfriend has really been helping me and i was finally feeling like i belong.. I wasnt starving myself for days; i would eat great healthy meals.. But ofcourse i had to get weighed at a doctors appointment.. 160 at 5’6 im very atheletic and play on a national volleyball team, but i feel so over weight and lately my depression has all been coming back and ive been cutting and not eating… I feel horrible i honestly just dont want to be here… The only people im staying here for is my boyfriend, my bestfriend, and my grandma… Thats really it.. Please help me.. Advice with anything would be greatly appreciated… I feel like i have nobody to talk to about this anymore..

have you seen any counselor about this?
Yes, i saw the freshmen counselor last year, it helped a lot, ive tried my counselor for my grade now, spilled everything, felt exactly the same way i did walking in.. It did nothing. My whole family is extremely involved in the church and i cant tell them about it. After my friend died i tried to tell my mom i was depressed and she just said it was a phase that id get over. Never did.. If i told them theyd be ashamed of me.. So a long answer to your question yes but not currently.
Hey,
I can try to help you as much as possible. I’m so sorry about your friend. I know depression, it has began killing me lately as well.
Email me and let me give you my cell, so we can talk, if you want.
My email address is: brl.cents@gmail.com
Okay i emailed you blindaudio
1 you have PLENTY of peole to talk to — we’re all here !
2 weight and health are not completely correlated — there are plenty of people who are ‘overweight’ according to the standard old definition, but are in very good health, and are quite athletic (as you seem to be)… the medical literature on this is being completely revised to take into account people, who by the ‘old standards’,were considered unhealthy, but now are considered quite healthy, and very athletic (just like yourself)
Hey nobody4,
I’m a little late in seeing this. If you ever want to talk, it’s not much but I can listen.
