I've been told that a lot of people have noticed i've changed. My boyfriend and my two best friends have apparently both noticed it.

The thing is I guess i've noticed i've changed too, I feel a lot more emotionally numb than usual, and thoughts about my own self- worth have pretty much hit rock bottom, and I guess it's having a negative effect on all my relationships now.

They've said that I seem distant, and like I don't care. I don't want to be like that. I don't want to make anyone close to me think I don't care, I do care. One of the few things i've always liked about my personality is that I help people, that I show people I care and if i've not got that, i've got nothing. It's just another reason to hate myself.

I feel like everyone would be better off if I was dead. I seem to hurt everyone. I've cut twice in the last 2 weeks, while that might not sound a lot, considering I was going a month at a time before, it is. I'm going to councelling on Tuesday, for my initial assesment for my eating disorder, which my doctor seems to think is starting to take it's toll on my body. All of that just makes me feel worse. It seems like a vicious cycle. I hate myself, I cut,starve or purge, I hate myself more.. so I do it again.

Yesterday as soon as I got in through the doors at about 6pm, I burst out crying. This was on and off until past 2am when I fell asleep, and more of that time was spent crying than anything else.

I don't know how to stop. I want to be back to normal. I hate this. I want to feel close to people again. I feel so fucking alone, and I don't know how much longer I can cope.

It's a terrible feeling. Feeling distant and alienated are probably two of the worst feelings. You may just be stressed out and not even be completely aware of it. And as for you being better of dead, that is not true. Your boyfriend and best friends have mentioned this to you because they love you and care about you. You also help tons of kids on this site that need it badly. You certainly are not better off dead.

Thank you. :) Yeah things have been a bit better the last few days. I guess now I know how i'm acting i've managed to change it, and I feel a little better for it.

I know I try to help people, but there's a difference between trying and managing to.

Thank you :) But a lot of the time it really doesn't feel like it. It feels like at the end of the day there's nothing I can really do to help someone, or make things better for them.

I've seen you helping people on here, it won't solve all of their problems but you certainly point them in the right direction. If they take the advice or not, you're going out of your way to help people and I think that makes you a pretty good person :)
