I'm feeling really low right now. I feel really dead inside and I can't stop crying. I have been losing quite a bit of weight around 20 pounds. I feel like life isn't worth living anymore and I just wish I was dead. I'm so alone and haven't got anyone to talk to. I have a full time job and I'm scared how I'm feeling is going to affect my job and I'll be given the sack.

All I want is to feel good about myself again. Why do I feel like this? I just want to feel and be normal. I'm scared I may harm myself but that seems the only way out. What can I do? Who should I contact as my doctor has done nothing?

First, remember this- there is ALWAYS someone worse off than you at the present. You need to look at all the "positive" things going on in your life, not the negative. If your employment is judgemental on your appearance- they are not worth working for, find another job. (Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.) :)

It maybe that you may have a serious health issue that's causing you to feel this way, since you've indicated that you've lost 20 pounds. Sometimes, a person with diabetes or hyperthyroidism can lose weight rapidly and can have extreme depression. If medical doctor isn't being any helpful you can either change doctor or go and see psychologist. If you really can't bring yourself to do neither, than go and talk to a church pastor, rabbi, priest, or someone similar. Usually they offer to help without cost. Good luck and I hope that you will feel better very soon.
