I'm really saying--don't judge yourself so harshly.
I would imagine much of this is because you are sleep-debited.
All the things you listed that you have not done, merely become a 'to-do' list. Do one a day. Maybe get a life coach to become 'accountable.'
You already know that eating junk food isn't helping...
As for the friend who didn't respond to you being down--sometimes people don't know how to respond. Or it scares them because it reminds them of how they have felt at times; that friends lack of response was all about that person, and not you.
Please come back and let us know how you are--I am sending you healing light.

For me, it’s just that I have really oily hair and get really bad dandruff if I don’t shower every 3 days at the latest. I would prefer every other day. No showering makes my mental health worse, as I pick my scalp until it bleeds, and always check for dandruff spots on my head. And my hair is really oily and don’t like that, as it makes my pimples worse.
I wish I had money for a life coach. I think it would help. I’m in school. I currently don’t have any debt but I will.
This friend I mentioned helped me make a plan for when I SH and what to do and for me to do things that would actually work. She has her own mental health struggles and is doing a day treatment program at a hospital to help her. Maybe it was just that.
Thank you for your response.
