So my family hates me and has not made any attempts to hide it, so I'm depressed. So what do I do? I eat, because food seems to be the only thing/place that I can find comfort. Then I get depressed becuase I'm fugly. Then I eat because I'm depressed!! Someone shoot me and put me out of my misery :sad:

    Hope your feeling better! Been there and done that ....just keep going it will get better. I've found that when I'm upset like that focusing on others helps whether its your kid, the family dog, or volunteering somewhere. Sometimes its easier to love others than ourselves. I don't know maybe that sounds like total cheese, but it helps me. I guess it helps me not think of my problems so much and gives me a better perspective on things....clears the head a little. Your human, life is hard and everyone copes in their own way...just know that you have a whole bunch of people rootin' for ya!!!

    Shake it off!! You will beat the cycle! Take care

    Yes...I do the same thing. I'm more an outlaw than an inlaw.

    You can pick your friends but not your relatives.

    You need to distance yourself from them. Don't be so available to them. They will treat you better when you haven't seen them in a while....the old saying "I get treated better by strangers on the street than my own loved ones" is true.

    Hang in there:flowerforyou:

    My Friend, please know that you are the only one that can end this cycle. You start by loving yourself first and foremost. Stop looking down on yourself and focusing on all the negative things and begin focusing on all your good qualities. I can't stress that enough. Once you accept yourself and love yourself...you will begin to make good choices in your life...from the people you allow in your world to the food you put in your body. Keep your head up...stay focused and positive :flowerforyou:
