Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
A few days ago, I wrote about my eating binge. Well, today it's the opposite. I have eating anything except a jello cup and some soda and water. I just don't feel hungry. I slept most of the day and played on PS2 on and off. Don't know fi I'll eat today. The longest I've gone without food is 5 days even though looking at me you'd never know it.
When I'm sad, I deny myself food, it gives me just a little bit of control. But of course like everything there are swings and roundabouts, when you don't eat you feel worse, that makes you concentrate on not eating more and it gets worse and worse until it's very hard to eat. You probably know that when you get to a point it's mentally painful and makes you physically ill to take a bite of food, perhaps how you're feeling now you don't really care about that, perhaps you feel a reckless "bring it on!" but perhaps a part of you doesn't want to get like that, perhaps a part of you wants to function with food, and energy? doesn't want to feel sick? I don't know, perhaps you could try and tell me?
Often the only way I eat is because I know people will check up on me, do you think that would help?

The sweetest thing is that YOU can choose to be happy, and you can start the process just by smiling Life can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. At the end of the day it is up to you how you choose to live your life and what to make out of it. Temporarily departing from those we love should be no reason for sadness, on the contraire, it should make us look forward to see them again and to work hard towards that goal. I understand that it is easier said than done I can almost hear your thoughts debating what Im telling you right now, but it is possible. You will be able to accomplish everything you want as long as you have faith in yourself and that means to get up every time you fall, to accept your faults and to work towards correcting those faults to avoid the shame youre feeling right now. We are more powerful when we do not accept the limitations that others, and ourselves, place around us. Keep that in mind.you need to look
