Numb....

Hi,

I really dont know what 2 do. Basically - i feel numb, like everythings worthless and like i need to get blind pissed and stuff to feel anything. I used 2 self harm a lot - coz i needed to feel. I think its a symptom of depression, im not sure, im not sure of anything anymore.
I also think im anorexic. I know i have an unhealthy attitude to food - i feel good wen ive had under 1000 calories a day. I sometimes limit it to a lot less.
Please help me, my body and mind are just so tired, numb and lost.
Uni is not what i expected, and i feel i have no support. Im gonna crack up.

Help/ advice much appreciated.

Is there someone who you can talk to ? Maybe u could see the Uni Counsellor - just to talk about things. Talking helps :smile:

Consider calling the Samaritans. You'll find it much easier to get advice over the phone than you can in an online forum, and it's completely confidential.

Cheer up! :hugs:

Ive thought about that, but ive had 2 counsellors before, and the first referred me to a psychiatrist, the second one left.
I feel alone, yet i could talk to friends. But they have their own problems - i would feel selfish.
Just want to feel like i used to .

Samaritans sounds like a good idea. I'll phone them wen i have a spare time alone. Thank you :smile:

Your friends are the best people to talk to! It wouldn't be selfish at all to talk to them; I'm sure they *want* to cheer you up :smile:. I'd certainly be unhappy if I found out one of my friends was feeling awful but hadn't said anything.

i agree with the friend option, you really shouldnt worry that they have problems themselves they are you're friends talked to them and a family member if you can
