hello, i wanted to share with you something i’ve been feeling really bad about and ask your opinion about it. as a kid i was quite slim till the age of 7 when my sister was born and my parents basically left me on my own and i started stress eating, im pretty sure i gained 22lbs (10kg) only in that year, from then on i kept eating a lot till now that im getting really overweight and it not only looks bad it feels awkward to be in my own body and make movements (im 18 and already pretty hopeless about losing weight, i tried since forever but i just get too frustrated and i feel like it will be pointless). i’ve been wondering if this is a psychological thing i have to sort out or a diet thing, i’ve been really depressed for a while now but i think the problem is my diet itself, like i really need to eat certain food to feel fine bc they taste good and i can’t stop. any advice or thought about my situation?

i have a younger sister, my parents always preferred her over me, i got treated pretty badly growing up, got told a lot i was dumb and ugly/fat, while they always praised my sister for being rude (they said she had a strong personality). i grew up being compared to her constantly even if we have 6 years of difference and my parents invested so much on her while they completely neglected me (to the point that i was “mature” as a kid and childish now, i really can’t do anything grown because i never had a role model). i still live with her and i mostly have to do all the chores and listen to my parents constantly praising her while putting me down. how can i grow up and gain confidence? my parents also aren’t social at all so i grew up thinking i was bad compared to all other people (since my only experience was my sister being better than me), this means im very weak around others and i never stand for myself. does someone relate? if yes how can i improve?

hello, it’s kinda embarrassing for me to publish this but i’m very young and completely alone, i mean i have school “friends” but nothing more, it’s not like we chat about things that matter or something like this. i never get out from my house and i spend my days in bed on my phone, i really stopped doing anything. has someone been in my same situation? does it get better? at this point i really think im both ugly and annoying since no one want to be close to me and i have no idea about what to do in my life (It’s only getting worse since I was a child)

hi! i know this might sound silly but does anyone reads coffee grounds? i was doing dishes and i found coffee on a plate, it looked like a cool design soo if someone’s willing to read it for me ill send a pic!

hello!i wanted to ask some advices on how to stop eating, i’ve started doing if for “pleasure” at 6, it was a long story but basically my parents stopped caring for me so the only thing i had left was food if that makes sense, and from then on, my mental health only worsened and now im almost obese and i can’t stop eating. my life is very depressed really, and the only thing that makes me feel good is eating, i tried literally everything for the past years but nothing worked. now i really need to change before i ruin my physical and mental health more, since im very embarrassed about myself. can someone please give me an advice? maybe something not conventional? (please be nice i already feel gross enough)

hey! i need someone’s opinion, i’m 17 female, recently i’ve been struggling a lot with my mental health but this isn’t new, what concerns me is my sleep, i started sleeping a lot, like i could sleep 14 hours straight if someone doesn’t wake me up and i basically don’t do anything (besides school) in my day. also i’m having really agitated sleeps where i dream a lot, really chaotic dreams, and regardless of how long i sleep i’m always tired, like i could get up from a 5 hours nap and an hour later sleep again the whole night. yesterday i literally blacked out a few times (like my brain disconnected for a few seconds) during the day and it was pretty scary, and my brain ALWAYS feels foggy. sorry for the super long post, can someone help me out?
