Very Overwhelmed

I am stressed out about every thing. I have no job, I'm living with my parents, I am planning a wedding, and I need to lose weight. I eat so well all day and then I end up binging at night. I am too depressed to think about applying for jobs. I don't know what I want to do in life anyway. I am very lost.

It sounds to me like you're talking about a lot of huge life events.. Perhaps some medical help and guidance would help you...
I hear you re the weight.. For me the big problem is meds...
I wouldn't work on a wedding until I felt stable.. I know that certain events shouldn't be tacked when we aren't stable and that's one of them..
Great big hug for you...xo

Your words, are so familar to me - looking at our entire life in one frustrated statement.

One thing at a time, baby steps - one day at a time. Hard to focus on one thing, much easier to feel lost and focus on everything
(((BIG HUG)))

When I'm overwhelmed - I do the next right thing, what ever is in front of me. A shower, one phone call, LOL I can't go too far forward or too far back....

Don't know if it's your own wedding you are planning, Allie, but I do think your first commitment should be to your own needs and health.

Learning to eat the way that is best for both of those things can take time. Patience for yourself and from supportive friends can help. Sometimes it takes professional help. Being lost is a mind numbing fearful place.

Reach for some place within that gives you a sense of recognition, knowing and direction. Again if you cannot find such a place I would seriously consider professional help in finding those essential things.

Wishing you the best,

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
