Question

Hoping someone can just give me some words of encouragement. I am struggling to deal with a guy i sit next to at work who i thought was interested but it hasn't worked out. He still plays mind games w/me and i ignore him. Plus another girl at work is harassing me and making my life miserable cause she is jealous of my work performance. I've had a relapse of bulimia which hasn't been a problem 4 me 4 8 yrs. Plus my stepdad is dying of brain cancer. i don't want to go out and meet people for fear i'll be used and played again. and i am so depressed. i am under a dr's care, taking medicine, etc., but hoping to get a word or two of encouragement from anyone out there whose been through this stuff.... thank you.

Answer 1

Sometimes life piles up. The one most important thing to remember is that "it will pass".
Often when we have stress in one area we tend to make more of other situations than is necessary. Right now, your health and your step father should be your concerns. Get your bulimia back under control now!!! If we let this kind of thing take hold, we are no good to ourselves or anyone else. When your already in a hole, stop digging.
Let your co-worker be jealous, ignore her as much as you possibly can. Confront her with your concerns about her harassment and make it clear that you cannot ignore it if she continues. Stay calm!!! Keep notes (privately) of the things she does with dates and times and what caused her to do it. (this is a tool you can use to review and make sure you are not over reacting) When you have had enough, calmly, report the problem to your supervisor.
You need to avoid meeting new people right now. Really, do you need more stress in your life??
Look out for number one right now. May God bless.

I thankfully have never suffered from an eating disorder but I imagine it must be hell. I an however suffering from depression and am on meds for it with regular visits to the doctor and an appointment set up to see a councillor. In my experience when you start taking antidepressents you suddenly start feeling better even tho you know they cannot possibly be working so quickly. and there is a time of euphoria then it al settles down and you realize that in time you can cope with your problems or thoughts. It sounds like you may be at this stage, forget the girl who is giving you a hard time she is probably suffering from her own feelings of inability people like that r bully,s and not worth another thought. concentrate on helping yourself and envelope yourself in your family it sounds like you could all do with a lot off support at the moment.If people use you it is because they see a lovely caring person who wants to help the whole world, I know that from experience, but if you do not stay strong for yourself really u cannot help anyone else and the pain and bitterness gets worse. The guy at work probably has no idea how you really feel and is just being typically male, He would probably be horrified to know he had hurt your feelings.Look after yourself as no 1. there is no shame in that. my thoughts r with you i know exactly how you feel and only time will mend it. but you sound like a lovely person who obviously cares a great deal for your stepfather. please find someone who you can talk to some of the helpline are a good start. I phoned one the other night when i was really low, they really help because you knoe you r not burdening your loved ones.take care I hope you find peace and my thoughts r with you

Answer 3

You will get through it, you need to know that you do have control of your life and stop the bulimia. Tell your boss that you would like to change desks that you are being harassed by this guy and tell him/her also about the girl that is harassing you as well, some bosses can be pretty flexible with things like that. If you can't go to your boss then you might want to think about leaving that job, you don't want to put your self in situations like that.
Well good luck.
Keep your chin up!

Answer 4

I will pray for you. If it's any consolation you have at least one sister here that knows what its like. I'm on medication also...and it makes it alot better. I have family and I have prayer....and I get through. You can too. Be sure they have you on the right meds and the right amount. Remember that even though you feel different and isolated, we are all the same. Sometimes I have to remind myself that what I think is rejection is just people dealing with thier own burdens in the only way they know how and it has little to do with me...and does not merit the amount of energy that I put into it..and how I drain myself because of it. We fall down, we get up. Put as much energy into yourself and seeing the positive as you do the negative. Think about all you've been through and how you succeeded. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and HE will make your paths straight"

Answer 5

I haven't been happy for like 2 years but it's not depressed, it's like a steady medium. Just spend time with your friends and family and do what you enjoy. Don't do anything that you don't want to, unless u have to, then just do it slowly without caring about it. Maybe become better friends with your coworker overtime, so much that he is relying on you. U can make it through, the human mind and body is amazing.

Answer 6

You can get through this! Think of the people in 3rd world countries. They are suffering every day! Consider yourself lucky for what you have in life and be optimistic! You can do this! =)
