I'm done living for people! this is my life! My life. Let me make mistakes, let me live. Let me hurt myself. Let me mess up things.

Im one of those people who never forgets things. so of course, I will always show up on time if we made plans together. I just feel so hurt that people just forget about me and just makeup stuff. If you really wanted to hang out with me, then you would remember. My friend forgot about me. We were supposed to hang out and go to this school activity but I think she might of went without me. I know this because I have her on snap chat and saw her picture. Why do people do this to others? I don't do this to people. if we made plans then I would always be there. The only time I wouldn't be there is if I were sick. I feel so empty and used and just stupid.

I have so much on my mind. Another thing is I give up. I'm done trying. Right now let me fall. Let me fall so deep down that someday I will see how much I need help. But right now let me fall. I have an eating disorder. that's what I'm talking about. Sometimes I think about getting help but I feel embarrassed because I feel like I'm too fat to get help. People won't take me seriously because I look too fat, so right now in this month of May, I just need people to let me fall deeper. Let me lose more weight. Then I will get help.

Let me fall so deep that I will have no choice but to get help if I want to stay alive.

hey! i'm younger than you so take my words with a grain of salt, but-

i know how u feel about ur friend; i have some friends that purposely try to exclude me because i tend to be extraverted and they want all the attention. that's why i don't trust them anymore. i just go to my now best friend who i know would never intentionally hurt me. that being said, have you spoken to her? or otherwise, are you 1000000% percent sure that she intentionally left you behind? some of my friends genuinely are a lil clueless sometimes and don't mean to exclude people but it still happens. either bring it up with her or make sure ur certain, but just drop her girl! she's not worth ur time if she can't make time for u >.<

never feel like you can't get help! trust me, i've been where you are with eating disorders and right now i still struggle with a lot of self-esteem issues. it's not easy to raise your own self-esteem, even though many people tend to think it's easy to. if you want to lose weight, make sure it's for yourself. will you genuinely be happier? or will you be happier because of other people? you can still try to lose weight but do so in a healthy manner; it may take longer, but you'll feel infinitely happier in the long run. best of luck and lots of love! <3

Thank you for sharing. You are worth getting help, even if you must seek it out yourself. Helping yourself is taking control, not hurting yourself, so others will help you. That means the control is still theirs. You can do, and you can achieve. Eating healthy with exercise is how one loses weight. Starving just makes one sicker. It is eating the right foods that give the strength to exercise to burn off any fat. Starving just makes one too weak to exercise, and any fat remains. I hope that made sense. Thank you and God Bless.

Sometimes looking at yourself and trying to fix everything just causes more stress, more self-criticism.

Instead I want you to 1. Focus on things you love, like writing. Forget everyone and everything else.

2. When you feel bad about yourself, just sit and take some time to imagine your best self. Imagine that you are smiling, and you glow, and you feel GOOD about yourself. See yourself walking with a pep in your step. Just let that image sink in.

You don't have to know how you'll get there, but you'll get there. PS I didn't realize you were still on DS. I miss our chats! Peace and Love to you!

Hi- I’m very sorry that you feel this way. There was a point in my life that I felt intimidated and had low-esteem. It was not easy to deal with. There were times that I cried. I got easily offended when someone say unpleasant words to me. There were also times that I was trying to please people. That experience taught me that I should live in peace with everyone if possible but not to please them. I learned that I cannot please people, some will rejoice with me and some are not. I also learned that I need to love myself first because I cannot give away something that I do not have.

I’m very sorry for all your struggles, I hope things will go well with you. Please try to check with your doctor regarding your eating disorder. Take care of yourself. Try to do things you will enjoy. Enjoy yourself. I pray for peace and you will stay strong. Please keep us posted. God bless.
