Need to gain 10 pounds before Thursday

I have bulimia and currently weigh 100 pounds. I am a male. I have major depression and OCD. The obvious answer is to keep food down. But I cant seem to convince myself i am capable of it. IF I dont gain the 10 pounds i go back to the hospital. What are your suggestions?

Hello there - first post

Hi,

First off, despite my quite machiavellic alias I'm a very peaceful character with that sort of dark British sense of humour :D
It's just the things I'm experiencing for roughly a year now that made me choose this forum name.

Speaking for myself, I'm not suffering from any mental disorder (at least not that I know of) but I have strong reason to believe that ...

Paranoia and the Future of Communication

We are 3 Industrial and Interaction Design students at the Royal College of Art, conducting a project into future communication design.

We want to investigate how different forms of media can aid or inhibit communication, and in particular for sufferers of mental illness for whom even face-to-face communication may be difficult.

We are also interested in paranoia surrounding various communication media themselves, and to what extent people feel able to trust both the technologies through ...

Need so much support!!!

I chat on forum boards until I cannot type anymore. I feel like I exhaust everyone. I do not have a therapist anymore. When you have been to one off and on for 30 years, you do tend to hear the same advice over and over. And over. Not that I am above advice.

When you feel hopeless, what helps YOU to feel better? I feel like I have burned out my career, worked everywhere ...

I need advice. Just do not know.

I am 21 years old. I live at home, sorta. I am unemployed. I have no friends. I never go out. I am also overweight with zero self-esteem. I just don't know what to do.

When I was in 11th grade, my dad died.My mother was never very financially set - and with his death, we lost a large check every month. She decided to move to Missouri to be closer to her family and ...

Time to finally see a psychiatrist?

Some background history:

I've had feelings of depression for the past 5 years.

I was also on the medicine Accutane that pretty much sent me into a horrible downward spiral about 4 years ago. I was basically a complete emotional trainwreck with anti-social tendencies (I had been very outgoing in the past), and grades tanking. I had to get off of it after several months with these issues because I couldn't take it anymore. Things ...

what's the point?

nobody can ever truly understand another person.

and who is ever really happy?

it seems like everyone just plays the game day by day.

i don't know whether to laugh or cry at how absurd and meaningless life is.

Loneliness

Hi all,

Here I sit, alone on a Friday night. Sure, I could have had a date with one of two idiots I have met from the internet. So, I chose wisely I think not to go out with Mr. Horrible Halitosis, or Mr. Dominator. I actually met Mr. H out and I was needless to say not happy, not only did he have horrendous breath, every time I looked at him, he was staring ...
