Need some help...

[STAYING_STRONG4HIM]

I've been thinking about some things, I don't know if I have an eating disorder or not...I have depression....and I haven't been eating much and sometimes not at all some days. I started this about last year. I stopped eating lunch at school, started losing weight. Most of the time I didn't eat because I was stressed. I'm starting to think though that maybe it was more than that...maybe I do it for the same reason I cut. I'm not sure what to do.

I would talk to your doctor. Best wishes for you.

My doctor knows I haven't been eating much. She thinks it's because of the depression...I don't know what to do anymore.

I am very sorry you are going through this rough time. Have you been prescribed anti-depressants? I believe they can alleviate or reduce your depression and then you may feel like eating more. I also try to stay close to Jesus through prayer and talking to him and I can feel his support of me. He is making me stronger. This can happen to you too if it has not already. God bless you.

I am on anti-depressants....I'm just not so sure they are working. They haven't made my apetite improve at all. I don't know. I just feel so hopeless and I know that with Jesus by myside that I shouldn't feel hopeless, it's hard for me to explain.
