Im feeling so very low. i wrote the post yesterday in advise about taking laxatives and your responses were really helpful thank you for those that commented but today i feel even worse ive not really eaten at all today if im going to be honest all ive had is a handful of saultanas and now i just want to make myself sick, ive not done it before but ive already had more laxatives than i should and they arent doing much. I cant handle feeling like this. I dont even have the will to cut despite the urges. I dont want to die, but i cant cry, i cant sleep, i cant concerntrate on anything im just a big fat lump.

the laxatives arent really going to help you lose too much more weight if you havent got any food for them to be wrking with. therefore i would strongly advise against using them more than recommended.
I hope you can get through this.i am here if you need. Im sure you arent a big fat lump, your mind is just sending that message to itself, wrongly.

sometimes i feel like a big fat lump too. hide your mirrors and scale(s?). they make things worse. drink water. that always helps me. maybe try calling a friend to talk about nothing and just distract you or something.

You hardly ate anything so you're not a fat lump. The laxatives don't work because there's nothing to get out. If anything they will dehydrate you. I've tried laxatives for a while but I stopped because everytime you stop using them you gain weight, replenishing the liquids in your body. I'm glad you won't cut. I can't cry or sleep anymore either. It's depression talking. Can you go for a walk to get rid of the crazy thoughts? Maybe have a cup of coffee until it feels safe to go home.

    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...
