Q: Nowhere Else to Turn

Ever since my boyfriend broke up with me, I haven't been myself. I always feel ugly and fat. I havent been eating breakfast or lunch, and I hardly eat dinner. I don't know if its just depression, but I just cannot eat. I know, you'll say just eat the food, but I just am not hungry or it makes me sick and I cant keep it down. I don't know where else to go. I can't tell my mom, she'll be too disappointed in me, she already is noticing my great weight loss. (i've lost 14 lbs in 1 and a half weeks) my dad, he'd kill me if he knew. My parents expect too much. Theres too much pressure, I think that might be it. School is hell too. I don't know what the cause is. I just know I need help. :( if anyone can give me advice on what to do, I would greatly appreciate it with all my heart, thank you.

Honey, you are depressed. Please see the school counselor or call a crisis helpline. I don't know the 1-800 numbers, but just google and it will give a long list!
Please get the help you deserve and need! Your parents would be glad you are trying to get better and I am sure they would be devastated to see you get really sick!!!
I will pray for you!

I have to tell you that I have been through the exact same thing...And yes you are depressed and talking with someone and getting help is the only way to go. Talk to your counselor at school, they can help. I dont know anything about your fam but it sounds like it would be tough to tell them what is going on...I wish I could help on that note but my fam has dealt with depression and such things for ages so it is not new stuff. The counselor can give you more advice on that, but yes you need to talk to someone esp so you can eat...When I went through this I lost 20 lbs in a week so I hear ya...Please talk to someone...Keep us updated.

Luv :)
