Well to start off with, I have been depressed for about 4-5 years. I am 16, almost 17. I developed anorexia and bulimia when I was 12, almost 13. My 7th grade year when I was 12-13, my dad went on disability for a neurological disorder. He worked as a chemical engineer in louisiana for 26 years at the same company. They automatically started sending him a pinchin check since it takes a while to get the disability. We were doing okay for a while then. I did have to quit gymnastics and dance though. By 8th grade year we had started getting the disability. They forgot to stop sending the pinchin check, so we were getting both. Well, your not supposed to get both. Metlife found this out and cancelled half our disability. We were living on just social security disability. Well everything started going downhill after that. I also have a sister by the way, so that's 4 of us! We went 3 months without electricity. We had been trying to move for years. We decided we would do okay if we sold our pretty big and nice house. And moved into an apartment to save more money. So we moved to texas that summer. We moved into an apartment and everything before we were sure we were gonna sell our house. We had a realtor and everything. We were about to sell the house. Then all of a sudden at christmas time metlife took the money we were gonna get from oue house. So we could pay them back for their mistake about the pinchin and whatnot. We got evicted from our apartment. We dicided to head to the midwest in missouri where my mom has family. A month after we got there, my grandmother died. We lived in a hotel room for over 2 months. Those were the longest 2 months of my life! I came close to suicide. My moms family wouldn't help us. We finally moved into this tiny resort/cottage/apartment/trailer weird thang. I went to school when the school year started. My eating disorder got worse. I would go six days without eating. But I was alot prettier at least. I was on dance team and got a boyfriend, so overall my life was improving. In november I took an entire bottle of ibuprophen. I took half one night, and the other the next. I went to the hospital and thankfully I was okay. The next few months didn't really get better. I dropped out of school towards the end of the year.

This summer I mostly stopped my eating disorders and gained 20 pounds. Gaining that much weight just made me wanna die. I hardly went anywhere. And since then i've been the most depressed I have ever been.

I'm not in school right now. I actually tried to go back but they said i'm just way too behind. I feel like such a failure.

We are still living in this tiny dump. Let me explain how bad it is. It's about the size of a classroom. There are 2 bedrooms. I share with my sister, kinda. It's so small it can only fit one bed. It also has no a/c in there. So I sleep on a twin mattress on the floor in the "living" room. Nobody can really get any sleep here. I never write anymore, since I never have any peace or privacy. We aren't really even a family anymore.

I've gotten to the point where I don't even know what is real anymore. The days aren't even days. I'm indifferent alot of the time. It takes alot to amuse or excite me. I'm probably the most cynical person you will ever meet. I'm also very sarcastic about everything. I guess it's my way of coping. I don't have any real friends anymore. I'm too depressed to even go get a job. I feel sick all of the time. I'm stressed. It stressed me out to event think about getting out of bed. I see the world as a place with a bunch of selfish, greedy, and ignorant assholes. All people care about is money and power.

I am also very ugly. I hate myself so much I didn't know hate this strong could exist. Now that I am fat, well hell, that just ices the cake! I can't look in the mirror without sweating with hate or crying.

Well thats a summary of my life. I'm sorry I wasted your time. Crying or Very sad

You say you're too depressed to get a job. You're depresed because you don't get a job. You're pretty much an adult, go make some moeny and move out. Having a job gives you a sense of purpose and some structure in your life, somewhere to go, something to do, something to replace sitting around feeling sorry for yourself.

Finish school online or by correspondence.

Also, I can think of the perfect book you should read. It's called
"shut up, quit whining, and get a life" by larry winget. It would probably help you out a bit.

Like That Really Helped
Another thing is that I don't have a car. When my moms at work, how can she take me??

Did you even read all the caca I have been through? I usually don't whine, I just become indifferent to everything. But caca adds up at the bottom problem.

Welcome! We are all not arseholes and greedy, yes, you do sound very depressed but I am not a dr that can diagnose you, it is just my feeling because I really do not know you. I doubt that you are ugly and obese and if you are you can exercise. Have you thought of going to mental health in your area and please, don't take me wrong, I am not trying to say that you are crazy, I am just saying that maybe you might need some help and there is nothing wrong with that, we pretty much all need some help at one time in our lives, they might be able to help you or send you someplace where you can get the help that you need and their is nothing to be ashamed of! I became disabled not too long ago do to a neuro situation where I got to the point where I could not walk or do hardly anything but I still keep trying even though I do live with pain and I fall alot and it is depressing but I cannot let it get me down. I have to keep moving, it is not easy but I have to do it. You can do something too, it will not be easy, life never is!
I wish you the best!
Keep in touch!
We are here for you!
