most days this fight feels so hopeless. HOw much more self torment can i take. I'm so down and want ot get bettre but its killing me . How do u go forward when doing so olny seems to only land u back worse than you started? What's the point in hanging on when the life u live is so pathetic.

It's definitely a vicous circle-the hopelessness stops you from getting better and makes you worse. I know it seems as if there is no point-but you cannot give up. We all feel like that at times but we cant let this stupid ed win. PLease dont give up hope. You may feel as if nobody is here but we are and understand you. Dont blame others or get upset. We're all trying to deal with this.

i so often feel 3 steps forward six steps backwards! for many of us who are perfectionists in other areas of our lives but cannot get better quickly when we put our minds to it...it's so frustrating. hugs

because even if we can't see it now, it WILL get better and it isn't pathetic
deleted_user
Please be strong. Because you are not alone and you are not pathetic. Right now you are going through a really hard time, but things change. This is a phase, it is not a permanent state of life.

You are definately not alone. I don't know about you but for me right now it is the weather outside and this time of year, it really has me down...sometimes when we try and try and don't seem to be getting better, it's easy to feel like, why bother? why not give up? I guess because the only other option is death and what kind of option is that?
deleted_user
I am praying for you...

Those hopeless days are terrible. The only thing you can do is think of those days that are better and that will usually follow the really bad ones sooner or later. I'm going through this right now. So I feel with you. Stay strong

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
