I’m basically having a serious crisis & I’m getting really close to doing
something stupid. I’m 17 & I suffer from an eating disorder, & have been
overweight for almost my entire life. I recently entered a relationship, but
with a friends ex boyfriend which caused me & her to fall out for good, leading to a really uncomfortable environment at work for me, as she’s turned everyone against me.

My Dad had a brain hemorrhage in March this year, and as the main
provider in our household, has caused conflict at home concerning, bills, chores & emotional problems. I don’t get on with my Dad, never have & only visit the hospital when I feel I have to.

I feel extremely guilty for not really caring,
but I just don’t feel a connection. I’m coming very closely to the end of
Sixth Form, and I’m struggling with revision & turning up to lessons is not
happening often at all. I’m constantly arguing with my mum about things, and because we’re both so stressed it doesn’t end well. I recently stopped
learning to drive as I wasn’t comfortable with my driving instructor, but
really want to carry on maybe with someone else, but money’s tight, & I’m a
panicky driver.

My partner lives 20 minutes drive away, and works full time & so
we don’t see each other as much as I’d like, but when he doesn’t come
over, I feel depressed & get angry at him, which is not fair. I’m always angry
& when he doesn’t text back straight away I say things to hurt him, but also
get so low that I cut myself, or binge eat. I can’t cope with all of these
things, I really can’t.

Since I have virtually no contact with any of my friends anymore & don’t speak to my family, sometimes I have no verbal contact
with people for days & it’s driving me insane. I have self esteem problems as
I hate my body as I’m overweight, and have sun damage to my facial skin. I
don’t know what to do, there’s a million & one other problems I feel I’m
facing, and I feel like I’m completely alone. Please help me, I’m too scared
to visit my Doctor again, as she doesn’t take me seriously & I’m too shy to
speak to a therapist. Please.

I am 14 at secondary school and a girl in my class has been off school recently.
My friends and i have found out that she smokes daily. we also thought she had an eating disorder as she never used ot eat, especially when she was more unpopular. Now, she eats little, and when she does eat, she eats high fat, high sugar, high salt foods. such as crisps, chocolate etc.

I think she has an unstable relationship with her parents as many people have commented that when being with her parents, they were rude and often insulted each other causing this girl to get embaressed.
We’ve done smoking in Biology and she follows signs of an addict smoker, she is always crushing or destroyign something and gets very restless.
She attention seeks because I don;t think she gets enough attention at home. she brings her cigarettes to school in her bag, i think she secretly wants people to find them so that she will get some form of attention, of which she is so deprived.
She also will never tie back her long hair, whether it be in PE or an experiment at school using eg a bunsen burner. causing her to get in trouble with teachers. Personally, i tihnk she likes to hide behind her hair.

She gets emabressed easily and is always in trouble with the teachers at school, again, i tihnk she wants soem form of attention. She has an older sister, who we think is providing her with the cigarettes, who also smokes. In biology, we also did heart rate and hers was so fast, she would not tell anyone, but my friend was the one measuring her heart rate and she said it was way above average.
she is quite clever, especially in maths.
This girl, she is skinny, drinks at least 500ml of coke a day and im worried that all of these factors combined will result in her early death.

She finds it hard to open up and i only wish i could help her more, what should i do ?
Her being absent lately has really made me think.
Please, tell me something i can do?
Maybe get her to see a school counciller ?
