How can I get myself to eat?

I haven’t been able to get myself to really eat for about two weeks, but before that I was eating so scarcely, I’ve lost 10-15 pounds in the past two weeks and I excercise all the time I’ve also been cutting myslef for a few months now, and I don’t know how to stop, I talked to my mom about my depression, but she just keeps putting off the subject…I can’t tell her about the other stuff, I need to get away, but I have school, and can’t do that…What should I do??

Answer #1

Your mother should listen to you, that’s part of the job discription of being a mother. You should tell her that you need her support to get over it & that she isn’t helping you at the momment. If she continues to put off the subject you should seek advice from another responsible adult, from your family if you can. Like a grandfather, grandmother, aunt uncle etc. Or talk to your year advisor at school, they can also talk to your mother & give your mother advise on how to help you.

I hope you manage to overcome your depression, & that people will give you better advice then me (: Good luck.
