I am pretty much in love with my other best friend but they do not reciprocate the feelings. I have recently relapsed in my ed and I want to start self harming again… I am feeling very down and losing pretty much all hope. This is probably really disjointed and lacks a lot of detail but idk. I feel very disposable and unimportant because in all honesty I am. I am a burden to my family and people do not like me (i have one friend at this point— the one i love). None of my passions matter to me anymore either and even if they did I feel like im always in a dissociative state so I never feel “there” idk im just looking for an ounce of light.
Hi amberocean,

I don't know about being in the closet & such, but I know that family can make things much more stressful and much worse.

Here's what I know about depression
