i dont really know what im doing here i just typed 'please help me' into google and it led me here. im so lost i have this eternal feeling of panic and hoplessness. i have nothing, no job, crumbling relationship, mountains of trauma, lockdown lost the extremely few friendships id managed to maintain, home life leaves me anxious and even more alone than usual. in the last two years id finally recovered from a 7 year fight with an eating disorder and now its back it never really went away, i just hung my recovery on someone else. bad idea i know you dont need to tell me anything i dont already know. i guess what im asking for is someone to listen to me and some help where i wont just fall through the cracks in the system again.

    hi em, you sound lost and very saddened by what has happened to you in the past. take each day 1 by 1. try to speak to someone about how sad you feel, why you feel like you do and how you can get the control back you deserve. you are someone to somebody, you have the right to live. why do you feel you don't. this is not your fault. i lost my best friend earlier this year, she didn't die but our friendship did, it hurts, i"m not going to lie, take your time. get your self the support you think is good for you and get back out there!
