I'm on the verge of a major breakdown

I am so distraught and overwhelmed and afraid. I'm having all these feelings that I don't know what to do with. I can't talk to anyone about them, and I don't have a therapist because I can't afford one. 😞 It feels like an epic depression is on it's way.

I am stressed out about my job security, stressed because I don't get insurance through my job so all of my health issues are currently going untreated, I'm scared that I'll never get to see my family again before one of them dies, and I am finding myself pushing away my boyfriend because I don't want to burden him with all of this and I have never been good enough for him anyway. I love him so much but I can't understand why he wants to be with me. It's all doing my head in.

I spent the entirety of yesterday evening in my room, alone, and I skipped both lunch and dinner. That's exactly what I used to do in my anorexic/depressive years and so naturally I'm freaking out that I may be relapsing into the eating disorder.

I really wish I had friends in real life, people who understood me and cared enough to want to help me in times like this. I feel like an island. 🏝

Stop wallowing in self pity and be more proactive

@hikikomorii ok. Tell me what to do, then, if you're all-knowing.

@DearAmbellina2113 take responsibility over your life ,work on visiting your family,dont enter relationships that cause you so much stress before resolving your insecurities. And dont freak out over missing some meals , everyone does. Including people who have or are struggling with EDs

@hikikomorii "take responsibility "?? Lmao
Responsibility is all I've had placed on me since I was 10 years old. That's part of the reason I'm fucking broken now.
I'm unable to just hop on a plane and visit family- they're thousands of miles away and I don't earn enough to afford a trip or have the spare time to even take one.
"Don't enter relationships that cause you stress", ok, so basically stay single forever...how does that help with the isolation exactly?

You know what- nevermind, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about so I'm done with this conversation. Cheers. 🍻
