Hey-
How are you? My family and i also had a big move over the summer. I moved from Indiana to Colorado. I was very depressed in Indiana and i can tell tht that is what you are going through. If you are vutting yourself, or harming yourself in any way you need to get some help. Tell a parent, teacher, anyone. If you are cutting yourself, and cant stop i think we should talk, here are ways to contact me.

Call the police. If she is abusing u u can get put in a foster home or the home of another relative. It sound like your mother has a drug or drinking problem if shes that bad. Also, don't commit suicide. That is never the answer. Pride yourself in the fact that u may have tried to commit suicide, but u didn't go through with it. Remember that there is always sommething to live for, even if its something small. Also, try getting involved in a youth group at a local church/mosque/synagogue. God/Jesus (or Alla, if you're muslim) can help u get through this part of you're life.

you should drink lots of water, and ask ur mom about sending you to a nutritionist, and have ur doctor help you as well, hopefully you have a family that supports you. watch what u eat. Get involved in after-school activiies!!

Please get some help! You have an addiction to diet pills, and taking ten of anything is incredibly dangerous! Please talk to someone because you are really hurting yourself!

I know how hard it is to be over weight. I am finally thin now and i got to tell you .... talking to a doctor helps. you should really speak to someone you trust about your weight. It's not about what you look like , it's about how you Feel, being healthy is great in many ways... a Doctor will help you feel good about your self . It might take some time ... but it's worth it!

To Leigh,I tried to reply to ur message but it didn't work so i am posting here. A dietician is a special kind of doctor who helps with diets. When my asthma was realy bad i sae a dietician and she helped me to make a diet plan that didn't use all the foods that make my asthma worse. She was realy nice and helpful. She told me that she also works with kids who are overweight and she looks at what the kid eats and how they live (exersise and stuff) and then together the dietician and the kid make a plan about how to change things to lose weight. It might be just little steps but working towards making a big diference! I recomenned it!!!! Let me know what happens and remember u have friends!!!!! 30 pounds in a month is a lot are u sure ur scales are not broken??? Did u eat lots of things u dont normally eat?
