is what world wide?

and what do you need help with exactly?

yes help.com is world wide.

well your not alone on the fact that you have depression. care to explain a little more? it would help me help you alot better then i can now.

where in the world are you?

well i understand that…

look at it this way though… you said that you have always been a happy girl, and from what you have told me, it seems like you have alot to be happy for. instead of focusing on your weight focus on that.

not experiencing that problem i cant give you any real advice, but it seems like you should forget about it and be happy.

ending “it” for this reason is not a good reason… i know you may think everything is horrible right now, but imagine growing up in a house with a drug dealing mother, who works at the bar and is an alcoholic herself… while dad is not even in the picture for the first half of your life, only to end up living with him after your sick of your mom getting drunk and eventually getting pregnant again and making you babysit till all hours of the night on school nights to the point where you start to fail because you cant concentrait… i could go on… but yea.

sorry i dont want to sound like a jerk but from experience i have found out that tough love sometimes is the best way to approach this.

it sounds like you are just struggling, do you have any free time? can you go to the lake or the beach of something and just relax?

one approach i have heard about for this issue is to get rid of any scales you have, and get rid of any mirrors… but thats pretty extreme.

sorry im trying to give as much information i can give so i have a better chance at helping you.

well… in three years that much weight, if you break it down is like… 15 pounds a year… so really instead of looking for weight loss programs and such just eat healthier, and go more into the lable on your favorite foods to find the more healthier one. and you will start to return to your wanted area.

ahh after typing that whole thing i just seen your new post.

well there are no miracle weight loss programs… in fact alot of them are bad for your health… slim fast? yea… apparently not good for you at all.

well no problem :)

and how you began to feel like that… your right i may not understand fully. but i do understand how it feels to think worthless and unimportiant and all the other words you listed.

i may not be able to help you with your weight, and may not be able to do much to be honest, but im sure that you are an amazingly nice person, and your weight should outshadow that, its true in some peoples eyes thats not true, but 185 is not something that is horrible. i mean i dont see a persons weight, i see their personality.

sounds like you have a good personality. :)

i guess all i can tell you is hang on, eventually you will find that although there are people out there who are total jerks, there are some that wont care what you weigh, what you look like, what color hair you have etc… people are just funny like that.
