I recently got sent to a hospital for depression & my eating disorder .
It's been hard for me . I recently told my mom about my rape & she doesn't seem to get me . I cut myself daily & im starting to starve myself again . Everything was going well but now it's going downhill . I need help but im scared to reach out .

I'm sorry your mom doesn't get it. Don't be afraid to reach out. You have a serious disease and for most of us it takes more than one try to get better. Talk to your doctor or school counselor and ask them to get you back into treatment either out- or inpatient.

You're doing the right thing by coming to this site to get support! I haven't been here long but I've already gotten a lot of support! Asking for help is a major step. Take advantage of all that this site offers u and look up support groups in your area. They aren't always easy to find but they're there. If u see me online, lets chat! Keep ur chin up! We're here for u!

welcome to ds, glad ou found the site. we all need support systems and people to help with our problems. i wouldnt involve your mom any more thenyou have too, it will just get you upset. try and seek help from a counselor at school, reach out, dont be afraid. best of luck.

@ThisBy : So you probably understand how it feels to feel no support from the person you want it most from ? I would love to talk to you more (:

@Shamy0326 : Thank you so much , your probably right im only hurting myself by wanting my mom to be part of it when i know she's not .

I think you can try so hard to make people understand and you yearn for love, care and support but some people either just 'don't get it' or they don't want to get it...it can be beyond some peoples understanding or it can be too much for them to handle or understand...i have found myself in this situation, not with my mam but with someone else and i have to tell myself even now that no matter how much i want them to help me i have to back off and find someone who will help. With it being your mam, i don't know your situation with her...are you close in any other ways?
Is there another family member that you can confide in to help you?

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    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...
