You know the song, "Slipping Into Darkness"?
I just dived right in. My face looks dry and scaley my eyes don't open wide. I'm not bathing to often. I've gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I won't clean up. I need a job. I'm going back to school. I'm afraid it won't work. I think no one likes me. I don't believe in love. I've been disappointed with love I thought I found. Now I don't think it was ever love. The list goes on, but you get the picture.

I think I know what your problem is and that's depression. Your not taking baths and so your face looks dry and scaley, your gaining weight because you feel their is no one who likes you and you've been disapointed in people letting you down.
You say you are afraid of going back to school. Well my love, (and you are loved).
You have depression as well as no self esteem. I bet when you felt good, you didn't notice so much unhappiness. I saying this because I really want you to get well.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself. I know that stings, it did me. I wasted a lifetime of 40 years of feeling sorry for myself. When I had most everything.
Count you blessing until you don't want to write any more. You will be surprised at what you find. I promise. Think of the sun coming up every morning. The flowers that God made for all of us. What about you being still alive. Does your air-conditioner keep you cool. Did anyone ever show you how much they cared about you. All these things we take for granted! I did too.
Someone looked at me the wrong way and I would burst into tears. I hated school., I didn't think I was smart. And of all things I thought no man in his right mind would have me. What I needed was a plan. One, which
teach all over how to live the right way.
Guess what I did? I began humbling myself before God and pray, pray an pray for his mercy. He told me he loved me with all of his being. How hurt he feels when you or I am in trouble and are hurting. He wants to help us. If we will just let him. I had to stop having a pity party when things went wrong.
I am 64 years of age and I eat right. IT WAS MY EMOTIONS that showed my shallowness. I loved to sing the blues which has everyone drinking and feeling sorry for themselves!
I found a new life A new life which was a miracle. When I begin to eat right, bathe and oil my skin. Pamper myself I slowly started getting better. I found new friend in A.A. and them my friends started to multiplied. I would love to answer this another 50 pages this will have to surffice,
You will change and will conquer you worst fears. Also when you get better, Pay it Forward and wait for miracles for you.

You came into this Life perfect.
Probably has some bumps along the way.
Here is a way to get back on track.
Right before you go to bed tonight go to a mirror and look deep into your eyes(not at your eyes) and tell your Self "I love you unconditionally, and I honor who you are and what you are".
Also do the same process as soon as you wake up.
Your Life will have shifted within 30 days.
It works!

If you keep going the way you are it will not work. When you get down there is only one person you can depend on, you. I get down but it does not beat me. Get vain, you are the only one and you are the best but only in your mind. You have lost yourself, you have to love number one. Is that enough or do you need more? That was a great song.

Actually you are in the perfect place to finally seek out your true self, beyond this material body and mind. You are not this mind body, race, color, nationality, religion, job or lack of it, or intellect etc. You are eternal spirit soul, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu,etc. You have hit a very low point in your life due to having no taste or desire for material existence (illusion). So Now the only real answer is to find out reality and eternal spiritual existence. It is the only thing to make us truly happy. Chanting the Maha Mantra ( the great mantra for deliverance form all suffering and illusion )can bring to their true identity of real happiness very quickly. For info go to harekrishnatempe.com Read Bhagavad Gita asit is By Bhaktivedana Prabhupada Tells how. you can read it on line on asitis.com I love it. Write me if you have more questions about it.

Sounds like you're depressed. Just get over it and try new things and ways of thinking. You have to be relentless in trying and believing.

Depression. Please see a Dr. There are very effective medications to help pull you from the doldrums. Don't let this go on too long though. Might as well get with the program as soon as possible.
