How can I feel stable again?

MY NAME IS KIM, I AM FROM ROCHESTER MI…I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TONS OF PEOPLE, FRIENDS, AND SUPPORT IN MY LIFE. FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS I’ve BEEN BATTLING BULIMIA AND MANY DIFFERENT DISORDERS. LATELY IM FEELING VERY DEPRESSED AND OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF HORRIBLE RELATIONSHIPS AND MULTIPLE PROBLEMS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. I AM NOW SO LOST AND FEEL LIKE THE PAST YEAR OF MY LIFE HAD A CURSE ON IT. I AM DIAGNOSED WITH OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER, EATING DISORDERS AND DEPRESSION. UNFORTUNATELY NOONE UNDERSTANDS ME AND I’ve LOST MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. LATELY I’ve BEEN USING A MED CALLED ADDERALL TO LOSE WEIGHT. I ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL FOR LIKE HYPERTENSION, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND OVERSTIMULATION OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. I TAKE XANAX FOR ANXIETY AND PANIC. I CANNOT STOP USING THE ADDERALL EVEN THOUGH I FEEL TERRIBLE WHEN I USE IT. MY DR. HAS GIVEN ME STRATTERA BUT AM SCARED TO TAKE IT BECAUSE OF THE ADDERALL AND IM NOT SURE WHAT MEASURES I NEED TO TAKE TO BECOME STABLE AGAIN. EVERY DAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT HAPPENS TO ME WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IM A HORRIBLE PERSON ANY ADVICE?

Answer #1

Start over. First of all, don’t rely on medication to keep you “stable” anymore. Rely on yourself instead. Figure out what you don’t like about you and DO SOMETHING about it. You have an eating disorder? Start eating right. You’ve lost your friends? Make new ones. As for family, they don’t usually abandon you. Start talking to them and they may even want to help you get better. The road to recovery will not be overnight; it might even take a few years. One thing for sure, though: you’re the only one who can make yourself happy.

Yes, I said that like I would know.

Answer #2

just think of yourself as the most beautiful person in the world. make friends that wont ditch you in the middle of a crisis. and as for family i cant help u much, but if they dont have the guts to help you through this then i dont know , but just as xiigzag said try to find a way to get them back.i cant say better words than xiigzag but i hope we both helped
