Pain doesnt help it makes it worse.
(from personal experience)
if you can stop STOP before it qets worse.
Even if you cant stand the site of food you should try eaten atleast 1 bite just close your eyes and hold your nose.
and dont worry bout dyslexia.(:

Don't worry about the dyslexia, I won't judge you on that. You have to ask yourself "why" do you do it. According to some, to stop self harming, you can attach an elastic band around your wrist and flick it when you feel the need to self harm. But I think that sucks. Anyway, I don't know the route cause of it but it's not good that you do that and the best thing is to stop..easier said than done..I know.

I am so sorry to hear you've had such a bad year. You must be so tired of being depressed. Nothing has gone the way you wanted it to. I'll bet nobody really knows how much you've been hurting, do they? And hurting yourself hasn't really helped. Sure, the pain you caused yourself distracts you from the pain you can't control, but it's only temporary. The pain of depression always comes back, and you feel so hopeless. So hopeless. You don't believe anyone can help you.
Perhaps you have tried to get help. Maybe you went to see a counselor and told them your problems, opened yourself up to them, and they let you down. They didn't understand, or they didn't speak your language, or they blamed you, or they downplayed your problem, or they told you you aren't depressed. And you know that you ARE depressed.
I don't know. Perhaps I'm imagining too much. But I do know that depression is lonely and sole-wrenchingly painful. You feel hollow. You feel hopelessly lost, unloved, unworthy. You don't care about anything, not even yourself. You punish yourself. You cut. You don't eat. Hell, you can't eat because the thought of food disgusts you.
Try sitting on the floor with your hands beneath you, palm up. Now try to lift yourself up off the floor. Can't do it, of course. It's impossible. It's a hopeless exercise.
So is seeking help. You know, finding the right therapist is like finding the right school, or church, or boyfriend, or pair of shoes. You may have to try several therapists on before one fits. Different therapists have different theories that guide their methods. No one therapist can help everyone. There's a good chance that I'm not helping you at all either. From your brief description I've had to make many assumptions about you, and some were likely wrong. You might take someone else's advice, someone whose advice spoke to your heart and resonated in your mind. It's the same when finding a good therapist.
A year is a long, long time to be depressed. You are eighteen years old. You stand on the brink of adulthood, and you have your whole life ahead of you. I hope you find a way to lift yourself off the floor and find someone who will understand you and walk beside you and guide you to a place of peace, strength, and happiness.

Please believe me when I tell you what I’m about to tell you that I mean you no harm. I’m not trying to be mean or hurt your feelings. What I’m about to say is in hopes of helping you. I have dyslexia and ADHD. People who have these conditions are usually highly intelligent people. Did you know Einstein was dyslexic? He couldn’t read until he was 12 years old. What you are doing now is extremely self-destructive. You need to get yourself to medical attention right away. You are going to dehydrate yourself. You are in a life-threatening situation and you need to attend to it right away. No one on this forum is going to be able to help you. Please, get professional help. If you can’t afford it, I’m sure there is a hospital where you are that will let you walk in. What you are doing and what is happening is not good. I care what happens to you. Let me know what you do.

ok.. you might want to see a doctor about your eating problem (not eating or drinking) as for being depressed try talking to someone, either your freind mom, sister, teacher, or even your guidance counselor. They can help you and make you fell better. Good luck and if you have any more questions just ask me! xomarisox

You need to see a doctor and get some antidepressent medicine. I heard this situation is very serious. What kind of pain physical or mental. There is help.

Seek help. If you really want help, tell an adult and maybe they can take you to a therapist or doctor. These places are the only way to get help, but before you this you can try releasing the pain in another way. Maybe you can write songs, write in a journal about the pain your experiencing. Listen to music, etc. Good luck.
