I buy food to eat and then throw it up so I don't gain weight from it. So that way I can eat what I want and not gain weight. I sometimes throw up if I ate a meal that had too many calories. I also cut my arm when I feel down and lately I have been taking double or triple the recommended dosage on my antidepressents.. I see a psychologist but it is not seeming to help. I feel like I am getting out of control. I have lost all passion for everything and I am lonely. I know there are people who care about me but it actually annoys me when they contact me to see how I am doing. What can I do? I feel like I am going insane.

Hi! I am 21 and had the same problems.. an eating disorder and also self cutting.
The problem with ME which may be your issue is wrong medication. I was on several anti depressants and it doesnt matter how much EXTRA you take, if your on the WRONG one, nothing will help. I was on zoloft, wellbutrin, lexapro...they didnt work, suddenly i was put on effexor and i've been perfect. You need to find the antidepressent that works for you. be HONEST with your doctor. Unless you say you will kill yourself he HAS to keep everything confidential. Tell him you have been taking even extra of what he diagnoses you because you felt weak and you were scared.. He will then probably tell you to switch to a different medication. It make take a few but you will get there. JUST MAKE SURE YOU TELL HIM THE TRUTH!
also my eating disorder stopped when i was on the correct antidepressant also. GOOD LUCK!

First of all you need a big change in your life. Get out and travel. You should change your psychologist. Go out and do some intensive running. People have the self ability to change. You have to find the motivation. If you want to chat with me cause I'm bored and simultaneously I'd like to give you some energy. Your missing out all the great things in life with all of your excessive emotions. Too much going on in your life.

Talk to your parents, or your best friend and share these thoughts with them. You need to see a Dr, if the one that you have is not for you, see a different one. You may need to have your meds changed. It sounds like you could benefit from some form of therapy/ counseling or in patient facility for bulimia( eating disorders) and depression.

Go for a second opinion. Then ask for a self-help group that you can attend.
As for your passion that has died off, maybe you want to consider attending church. Religion is a good way for you to rekindle your passion and open you mind.

calm down, u need to love yourself and get wise.
u probably dont need the doc or her pills
U need to open the bible when this evil spell comes on
and stop it in its tracks.
U got to say "I am in Control" and let no evil get this kind of power over u.
Start eating healthy foods like total, berries, apples, bananas,
meats., chew the food to fine grain and keep it down.
