doctor(I hit the post on accident), and be honest about everything that is going on with you.  when I was younger I used to go to the psychiatrist and downplay what was really going on in my life. It wasn't until later that I realized I am paying someone to go and lie to them, how can they help me if I am not completely honest about what is going on in my head and my life.  Depression *****. I am also diagnosed bi-polar, and anxiety/panic disorder so I know what it's like. I am struggling myself right now. But I know that I am the only one that is going to help myself by taking my meds, seeing my doctor, and sharing with others who are caring, like the people on this site.  I wish you the best! You are not ALONE!

Hi Dennis,
First, it's been my experience and understanding that a lot of yogurt can give you the runs, so you may want to try to eat something else. Maybe some fruit or something else healthy that you like.
Second, Nursegirl is very correct in all she said. It seems so odd that when you are the most depressed that sometimes you are the only one to be able to help yourself, but that's how life is sometimes. Do see your doct

Well, you can look at it like a "lecture" or you can look at it as your therapist trying to help you.  Your therapist is right.  It isn't healthy and it can be downright dangerous.

As for whether or not you have an eating disorder, that is something you would have to ask your doc or therapist about.  I don't think it really matters so much at this point which is causing you to not eat...the depression or an eating disorder, what's important is that you get the proper help to work through these issues.  It doesn't have to be this way.

I would really recommend an inpatient admission to help get these issues worked on, and get you stabilized medically/nutritionally.  If you've had a bad experience at one hospital, then research different ones, ask your therapist and doc for recommendations.  There's always options.

YOU have to be willing to help yourself though, and while I understand you're in a bad way and are having trust issues, you have to at least start somewhere.  At least if you can get yourself eating again daily, that would be a start.  The longer you continue to starve yourself, the worse your medical condition will become.  Your body will reject food, like you've experienced.  It will actually make you sick to eat, because your GI system is pretty much shut down.  Like I said before, this is a crisis situation that definitely requires professional help.  I would not advise you to try to fix this yourself in a million years.  Malnutrition and starvation can cause life threatening consequences very quickly...and you've already been doing this for a while.  You're in danger.

Please just dig deep, find some faith and try.  Be honest with your mental health team about what's going on and let them try to help you.  What other option do you have?  You will die (a horrible death I'm afraid) without some kind of intervention.  You don't have to accept that.  Things seem impossible and dark right now....but they don't have to be.

Sure hope you decide to get some help.  Take care.

You're in crisis mode and need to seek help immediately hon.  You cannot go that long without eating without risking major health issues, or worse.

Please get yourself some help.

It is normal to be in a state of anxiety and feel depressed when life events spinn you out of control.  That amount of stress can often cause people to over eat or in your case not eat.  However please eat even if you have to force yourself because your brain needs the glucose, minerals and vitamins to function well.

Some people can deal with a crazy amount of stress, and others cannot.  We are all different it the amount and how we deal with stress.  

Have you tried just taking to a psychologist first.  Meds from a pyschiatrist may help but you should do everything in your power fist.  However if you feel like you are beyond this point then that could be an option

I really like Eckhart Tolle as an author.  Maybe you can check him out.   I have him on audio CD,s in my car.  Sometimes my mind is my worst enemy.  I just sit there with repeditive thought usually negative.  Or imagining all kinda awful future sitiuations that might happen ect ect.  He really gets you out of that mind set.  You gotta find your center, a place within you that events sickness cannot touch.  He can help you with that.  

I have Bipolar 2 disorder and during the depressed episode I have restlessness, agitation, anxiety, insomnia.  So I have be to Hell, but I have come back from it.  For me it is only a matter of time before my brain switches and it all fall apart again so I appreciate the simple things now when the depression leaves.

If you stay very present you will see that even in life most difficult moments there is a chance to elolve.  It is hard to see the light in the darkness while your are in it.  However there is still light and when you look back maybe oneday all this suffering will have made you a stronger person.  It has for me.

Until then I am empathetic towards your situation.  You are not alone....many people have lived through what you are living through.

If you feel like you cannot handle it go seek help....do not suffer alone.  Go see a medical proffessional.
