So I came here not too long ago (I think) and have been having lots of trouble since then.... I do nothing but sleep, and when I'm awake, I wish I were still asleep or dead. I've been losing 3 pounds a week for the last month and a half, and beforet that, I was only around 104 lbs. at the height of 5'11". I don't know what I need to do to live again, and if I stay in this stage much longer, I feel I'm going to start suffering permanent damage.... and if I survive this, that's the last thing I need.

EDIT: I am not suicidal. I am not trying to do myself any harm in any way. I'm here trying to find good advice on how not to continue the stat I am in. Just to make sure this is clear.

Hey SamiElding,

I think you should contact a professional ie GP, Psychiatrist, Nurse, Local Hospital if your feeling suicidal.... etc!!

Keep talking to us!!

Miss Laura, I have done that quite a few times in the past. I've been hospitalized, but it's always a heavy financial burden on someone, or myself, and all the ones that defaulted to me, I have yet to be able to pay off, because they didn't actually help anything, and so I was realeased less capable of functioning than before, and therefore less able to pay for thier lack of service.

Hey SamiElding,

Hmmm... Can you call a family member or friend? Someone who you can maybe go and stay with? Or go out with someone? I think you need to stay around people and talk to people

I suspect that's a highly abbreviated version of a long, frustrating story.

You are deteriorating physically, and the medical folks you saw before did not help you. What about social services of some type? If you were to present your situation to someone sympathetic who understands the system where you live, they might be able to assist you to the right help.

I've got a caseworker who is supposed to be exactly that, but since he's free, and I only have $50 to my name in its entirety, There's not much he has to work with.
