I just don't know how to deal with it all. The self loathing is crazy, my self-esteem is down in the dumps, I'm falling behind in school, and I can't sleep but I want to sleep the day away. It is just so hard. All I can think about all day it's how fat and ugly I am and how I'm not good at anything and how pathetic I am. I am just so done.

 Hold on to that small ray of light, my friend. This won't last forever.  I know how you feel. But listen to me when I say wholeheartedly that you are NOT fat and ugly (it's the inside that counts anyways), you are NOT bad at everything (I feel that way ALL the time, but everyone just has different talents), and you are NOT pathetic! Think of the most caring, sweet, uplifting person you can imagine (it doesn't have to be a real person), then think about all the things that person would tell you about how wonderful you are. It may be something you would've never thought of before. But wherever you go, take that imaginary person with you, so that on the days you feel like you're worth less that dirt...you have a voice telling you all the other things that are just too hard to see at the moment. And you know that we are always here for you!

Hello, 20broken17.
Winning the battle for refreshing sleep may be a good place to start. Do you have access to medical care?

I agree. Not getting enough sleep or the right kind can really mess you up. It is such a common problem with us. Getting on a good sleep cycle is very important.
There are meds. There are supplements. There are natural ways. Attack that first.

You mentioned being in school. I don't know if you're in college, grad school, high school, whatever, but see if there are any counseling services available. Even if it's just a high school guidance counselor (I had a wonderful high school guidance counselor). I don't know what your situation is (or how dire it is), but if you feel like you need to take a semester off or something, and that is feasible, maybe try being a part time student and doing volunteer work? This is going to sound really trite, but helping people makes me feel useful and takes my mind off my own problems. I do tutoring with adults, and it helps me so much.
