Go to the help center here on the site....they have all kinds of free help from depression to eating disorders. Nami is good to get in contact with. There are also helpful chats SW has listed for assistance. I have dealt with mental illness for years. I am familiar with Nami....just check out the help section and be kind to yourself. I know its hard.....but, heres a lifeline!! 🤗

You are depressed, that's obvious, but do you also have goals you can work toward, that will help you out of your depression?

Is there anything you can do about your job security situation? What would be a job you can do that would offer you job health benefits? Can you figure a way to get that job? Can you leave your home and take a walk in nature? spend time in a park? Make yourself available as a volunteer in your community?

People in relationships, are there for each other, but they should not be the sole support mechanism, else the relationship will become one-sided. Only you can help you.

my heart squinched when i read this. i don't know exactly what is good to say, but not eating is not good. that was stupid to say, you already know that. have you cried yet? i want you to do the scariest thing ever and talk to your bf. if you are pushing him away, and you fear that opening up to him will do damage, what do you have to lose that you aren't already trying to lose? i sure hope i'm not upsetting you. pls talk to him. you are worthy of the support he can give you.

That’s a lot you’re going through. You’re not alone though. You have your partner. Let him help you get through it. If I was him, I wouldn't want to be shut off. It only makes me question if you love me enough to need me. At least that’s how I felt.

Have you ever tried reaching out to an old friend?

Why not look for another job?

I really hope you can talk to someone, why not your bf? He cares about you I'm sure the I'm not worthy stuff is a just in your head I bet.

Good luck to you it doesn't seem good where you are right now

I think it’s necessary to eat, will help you stay healthy!
Maybe you are over worrying which makes it even worse
Breathe deeply
Relax
Try to keep well and step by step move forward

Sorry I didn't see this before. Stupid SW algorithm. I'm glad you were able to talk to your boyfriend, and I'm glad he's so supportive. 🤗

You should talk to your boyfriend and tell him what’s going on. You also need to eat because not eating is going to make you feel worse.
