I think i am slipping back into depression...?

Question:

i was diagnosed with depression a couple of months ago along with anxiety and self mutilation. I find that i am starting to get really really angry at everything all the time. My friends are driving me crazy but they are the only friends i have. i am moving interstate to get away from everything here and now my friend has decided she is coming with me. I dont want her to come because she is what i am trying to get away from. I am at the point where i dont answer the phon and either sleep or doze all day.

I think i have bulimic issues but not necessarily have bulimia. i try and make myself sick once a day at least but i have no privacy and am never alone enough to do it without people knowing. So that makes me angry that i want to do it and cant..

Not really sure what to do next... I am scared and angry and confused and want to cry because life isnt supposed to be like this..

Answers:
You've anonymously opened up and admitted to us that you have multiple issues to deal with, so now you need to find a doctor you are comfortable with and come clean with him/her about how you are really feeling. You cannot overcome a lot of this alone, so please be strong and get the help you need.

do you have a mental health center you can go to? you need to go see a therapist. and I'm not just guessing at this cuz I am bipolar, so I know about depression and cutting. dont ask for help here cuz you will get a mix of things and just get confused even more. if you can get to the crisis center then go to ER and talk to somebody there. they will help you. as far as your friend moving with you, just tell her, you dont want to hurt her but you need to go alone. good luck to you!

well, admitting you have a problem is the first step in resolving your issues. if you want to get away from your everyday life and friends, than do that. tell your friend, that right now you think that you need to spend time with yourself. if you don't want to spend time with her, it's not a big deal. maybe, you have grown out of that friendship, it sometimes happens.

right now your top priority should be your health, and you need to do everything in your power to overcome this depression, and your issue with hurting yourself.

you also have to remember that life isn't always what you want it to be, and that you have to make the best with what life gives you.

good luck hun

hi. i am in a very similar situation. I have suffered from depression and bulmia for almost 6 months now and have been on depression medication. I just cry a lot of the time, which is meant to help release how you feel...also speaking to therapists, councellors and even physchiatrists can really help. i understand how depression can tear apart your life and i'm here if you want someone to chat to..
all the best of luck.
