Bulimia, Cutting, and Overdosing...?

Question

I would like to know how I can stop making myself puke, cutting myself, and overdosing on painkillers...

I think I have depression and I don't know how to tell my family... I have tried to tell my mom but she ignores what I am trying to let her know about me. Or she thinks I am being dramatic and tells me to leave her alone.
I feel like there is no point to anything at times. Like there is just no reason to do anything. Do I have depression? Should I talk to my doctor about this?
My friend gives me great support but it's not enough to make me want to stop everything I am doing.
I have reasons for why I do everything...
I overdose because I get upset with myself. I feel like I am not good enough for anyone. And I have very low self esteem.
I make myself puke so I can wear the clothes I want to and not feel fat in them. And so I won't feel like I am being stared at because I am fat.
I cut myself because I think if my mom found out about me cutting she might care about me...

Ok, Let me start by saying I'm 32 and have battled Depression, Anorexia, Bulimia, Alcohol and drug abuse since I was 15. Also the 1st person makes it sound easy and IT'S NOT!. Trust me coming from 1st hand experience this is the hardest thing i have ever dealt with. Don't let it go 15+ years before getting help. ok, here is my advise, I have only been clean and sober for 2 years this was the easiest of ALL my issues. the anorexia and bulimia I had to trust my friends because I am in a similar salutation, I only have my friends to go to. So I did, here is the deal once you recognize that this is a Problem and say it out loud to someone who cares about you, and you get positive re-enforcement you are on the right path. Its not easy, In my opinion this has been the hardest thing to stop. I have only recently stopped the anorexia, Bulimia (just a few months) so I to am on the road to recovery, also this is not the first time, I have relapsed many times trying to stop and failed. But I didn't have help before. Go to your doctor there are some awesome anti-depressants out there. I am on Wellbutrin XL, the reason I chose this is because I obviously have issues about my weight, this is the only one that i found that promotes weight loss. and its helping the depression is not as bad, and losing weight naturally I feel better, but its a battle that I face everyday. I can tell you that it asking for help is the first step. Keep moving forward and try to think positive. I know that's not the easiest thing in the world, but all you can do is try and move on from there. Oh, as far as the self-esteem issue, I'm with you there, I'm still not where I should be, My friends tell me that I have nothing to be self-conscious about and try to say positive things, but it doesn't ALWAYS work, but at my low times it does help! So yes, Get help talk to anyone that will listen and is willing to help. your not alone and your not a drama queen, Trust me, my sister is a dram queen, and we are not that. :D So I hope this helps!

From Just another person just like you,
be safe and take care of yourself, and remember you are already on the right path just opening up and asking for help!!

Hate to show this whether no sixteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days historical thinks the superb way you do AND knows of or thoughts genuine love. None of this is love. u are youthful, u are in basic terms getting a rush out of this astounding existence u have fallen into and have chosen to adhere in. you may seek some help immed.

Hun,

making yourself puke doesn't change any kind of situation that you might be facing in your life, including your mom. please think about what you are doing and change it. you need to see a therapist or counselor for help to help you fight this depression addiction. I can tell alot of why you are doing this, and you need to talk to someone, let someone know how your feeling, if you can;t turn to your mother then find someone else who will listen to you and help you. life is just too short to do this to yourself. i hope you find help and good luck.I'm sorry for everything that you are going through and i know it must be hard but listen, you are not alone there are alot of women who had what you have and fought the addiction and found someone to help them. Please find help.
