Hi sweetheart. I think you need to get some professional help for your eating disorder and depression. I know it’s frightening but you’ve madethe first step by accepting that there’s something badly wrong.

Well if your confidence has taken a knock that can alter how you appear to the outside world but I doubt that no girls want you! From your photo I would say that you are a good looking guy (I’m a girl in case you’re wondering) so I wouldn’t think you would have any long-term problems with this. Take care.

Many thanks mariposa2008!

3 weeks? That’s nothing. I would say yes, you will be with somebody again but if you’ve just got out of a relationship 3 weeks ago then you probably shouldn’t be worrying about getting into another one just yet. You’re probably still rebounding somewhat, and I think it would be a bit disrespectful to your ex to find someone else so soon. Obviously I don’t know the situation and if you feel you owe her any respect! Just roll with it for now - it’s good to have some single time between relationships - get to know yourself a bit better.

I agree with the others - I’m also getting married (in 7 weeks time) and I wouldn’t mind if some of my friends were marrying before me! Your days will be different! Go and enjoy your friends’ wedding - be happy for them, and share in their special day. I’m sure they will do the same for you. :)
Congratulations on your engagement.

I agree, if he brings it up again just laugh about it. Otherwise I wouldn’t mention it at all.

You’re spelling it right.

I really would relax about it - it’s no big deal. He wasn’t naked and it could have been worse. It’s just a person in their underwear - everybody has a body, and there’s nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about.

As long as both you and the guy know the truth, it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks. People will get over it as soon as some other ‘gossip’ comes up.

Ok, I took antidepressants for a couple of years. And it helped - it probably saved my life. I don’t say it’s good for everybody, however, in my particular case, medicine plus therapy worked. I agree that people are far too quick to prescribe pills etc, I just wanted to point out that in some cases it can be very useful.

Well it isn’t going to go away! The sooner you start it, the sooner it’ll be over. If you get your school work done early then you can relax or have fun guilt-free without the niggling worry that you should be working.

I have truly and sincerely prayed for you.

I agree with Arnday the Imbroglio - Bath is a great place to be.

lol, I believe you. I just honestly cannot think of anything that a woman or man ’shouldn’t’ be.

Nope, no sore point.

I can drive (female), my partner can’t (male).

Hmm.. ’screw political correctness’… ok, I’ve thrown away political correctness, and I still don’t think there’s anything that women can’t do apart from be a sperm donor. Similarly, I don’t think men could be an egg donor or surrogate mother, but other than that, there’s nothing.
