Hi Katie,
I am sorry I am just now replying to your post, but I haven't had much time to write and didn't just want to jot down a quick answer. You are obviously hurting and I wanted to think about my response to you and be able to take my time writing.
I did not read your post because it had a positive title or because it had pretty hearts next to it, I read it because I read all posts on this board (or at least try to).
Love & hugs, Kristina
I am so sorry you feel so hopeless. I want you to know that you are a wonderful person!!! No one is perfect sweetheart. God loves you, sins and all...everyone sins, it's OK; you are always forgiven. I am not sure of your age, but I am 22 and trust me I've probly done A LOT worse than you. Katie, I don't want you to suffer, I don't want you to feel bad, I don't want you to hate your body or your self. Do you also want that? I deeply hope so. Because if you make the choice to be happy, I know you can!!! You OWN your life. EVERYTHING is possible. You can always make changes. I think it would be a great idea, if you have not done so already, to seek the help of a psychiatrist. It sounds like you are suffering from major depression (I know because I was but now I take Paxil CR 25mg/daily, an anti-depressant...and no it DID NOT cause me to gain any weight, I've actually lost 10 pounds since going on it). Katie I also want you to know that your family, friends, and fiancee LOVE YOU for YOU, the total package... problems, messed up thinking, ED included!!! They're love for you is NOT contingent on you being perfect and always happy and supportive. Sometimes peole go through tough, dark times, and that's OK...that is what you seem to be going through right now. Trust me, it is OK to open up to these loving people in your life and ask for the help you need. I know you can be happy and love yourself. You do not deserve to feel this way sweetie, and you don't have to. Allow yourself to be HAPPY!!! Focus on the positive and be thankful for what you have, but be honest with those you love, they won't reject you dear, they'll embrace you, because they want you to be happy. Maybe you feel hopeless, but you can overcome it, you're never alone. I don't want you to disappear, but more importantly I don't want YOU to want yourself to disappear!!! Love yourself, you are so deserving of love. PLEASE I BEG YOU, tell someone you love (family member, fiancee, friend, etc...) how you are feeling. You must take this first step on the road to healing and ultimate well-being. Just let yourself be taken care of for a little while. Admit you can't do everything yourself right now, it's OK. Just be honest, it will help you so much. Ok sweetheart, I hope this has helped you. Please keep us updated, I am rooting for you...you wonderful human being you!!!! LOL : )
Try to have a nice night...and remember there is ALWAYS enough HOPE to go around : )
With concern and well wishes,
~Janine~ :o)
