desperate for change

[veganbunny]

I post a lot of the same things in here, so here I go again...
I've had a break from this forum for a while, but I'm back. Not much has changed for me, but right now I seem to be going down hill. I struggle with simple tasks (such as washing) although have been just about managing to do them. I

need to lose weight, but I always give up, so instead of failing think that I should just not even try.

My relative's dog of 16 years died, and they suggested that I might be able to help with a new puppy; but its not certain. They live about 4 hours away by car, have no internet, no children, and both work. Perhaps that might help me, but the thing is, my parents don't want me going for more than a fortnight at a time.

I've been having a lot of awlful thoughts again, and am seeing my therapist this afternoon. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this. And sorry.

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

What do you think is possibly causing you to spiral down hill?

Don't worry about your weight at this moment, just try to figure out the triggers to this way of thinking.

Pray for understanding and strength.

I agree with the post above..find out whats triggering this..losing weight can def. wait.

I hope things go well this afternoon at your meeting with your therapist

*many hugs*

I'm not sure what is going wrong. A friend said to me that I have so much more confidence than when we met last spring; so maybe I'm doing better than last year. My week was terrbile, BUT yesterday night I had a fantastic time with a friend, which boosted my confidence/ feelings of myself. My theripist implied that I was acting like an "emo" though

Oh yeah this whole weight issue has to be put aside for now,
At 18 your body hasn't finished what its doing yet anyway.
It's important to keep your self-esteem up and look after yourself,

If you like animals why don't you volunteer at a local rescue centre or kennels ?
That would help with the good old self-esteem.
Get a little notebook and write down goals you want to achive within the next year

(AND NOTHING NEGATIVE LIKE WEIGHT)
don't read fashion magazines either their all airbrushed anyway.

What do you want to do when you leave school ? do some voluntary work and extra studying!
Read books go for walks, write down 10 things your good at !

hmm... how good is this theorpist of yours?

Unless I am missing something. You sucessfully had good time and felt good about yourself, but opinion of your theorpist took all that away.
