Another Downer...

I don't remember a time when I wanted to die quite as badly as I do right now. I have exhausted all my options in terms of trying to move forward and honestly don't see an alternative. This isn't an, "I'm going to kill myself right now- goodbye!" post BTW. I just don't know what to do. I had thought/hoped that coming to New York would help with my depression, lift me out of this "funk" and remind me why I want to get better- being in NY has always motivated me on some level because I wanted so badly to live here. This time it's been a completely different experience. I have no desire to live here. I have no desire to be well enough to hold down a job (who would hire me? I can't *do* anything of use). I have no desire to go back to college, to lose more weight/to gain weight/to eat/not eat... I've spent a crazy amount of money this week because it doesn't MATTER. I don't need money. I don't need anything anymore. I'm so tired. I don't want to be in New York, don't want to go back to London, don't want to live with anyone, don't want to be by myself. I just don't want to be around. Period. I don't even want help anymore. I just want to be left alone.

Ellie, there are so many people who see you as a beautiful person, even though right now you hate yourself and are out ther,e in hospital as a very very frightened little girl.
I really hope that somehow there is a light at the end of this long tunnel and you can try and work with the medical team to get some real help, i.e. for the Eating Disorder and that they can transfer you to a safe place.
So many people (unfortunately) can realte to the feeling of just wanting to crawl out of your own skin. You are not alone in this, but the fight is long and hard - keep going sweetie.

that's failure to thrive, and a very good reason to call your therapist if you have one. if you are on meds, you may need a med change. i get this way at least 4 times a year (with every season), this time of year being the hardest. stay strong.
