I just feeling like im failing in life now, ever since i was 12 ive been counting calories and restricting. i lost a lot of weight at one point the gained it in muscle. I went through a good point where i ate "normal" and didnt get bothered by it but recently im staying up until 4am exercising to make sure i burn more than 2000 calories a day plus restricting through the day. I dont know what to do anymore. i just want to give up with trying to stop it all. I honestly dont think i can stop it anymore.
I hear that things are feeling very rough right now and that you are really struggling. It saddens me to hear that.
It sounds like you have a great deal of insight into yourself and that you recognize you are struggling. Also, you are reaching out for support. These are all very good things, and, at least in my book, are not at all characteristic of someone who is failing.
What sort of supports do you have, in terms of counseling, medical support, family/friends? Eating disorders are tough, and it sounds like you are in an especially rough place at the moment, but you don't have to go through this alone.
Again, I am so very grateful you made the decision to reach out on here. That is such a positive thing. Please let me know how I can support you.
Take good care.
I have gone through the same things as you. It feel like a vicious cycle that you cannot get out of. Keep moving forward, ask for help. There is always hope to get better.
