    Default Everything is going wrong

    I went to the doctors and I was told I need to be gaining weight, but ever since the visit I've just felt like I'm going to be sick whenever I eat, I'm going back in less then 2 weeks to get weighed again and if I haven't gained enough weight they're going to send me to a nutritionist (which is something I really do not want.) I'm coming down with a pretty bad cold, and I just learned tonight that my 7-year old dog Rosie's kidneys are failing. Overall it just seems like this phobia has sucked the life from me, I'm never happy anymore and all this other s**t going on is making me really depressed.

    Not sure what the point of this post is, just feel I need to get some stuff off my chest.

    Well, to be honest, you can go to therapy and start taking charge of your phobia. You don't need to live like this. You can eat full meals and gain weight. The only person who can really take charge of your mental health is you.

    You can gain weight and feel better, I promise. If you get a cold, you get a cold. You'll have a runny, sneezy couple of days but you'll feel better eventually.

    I'm sorry to hear about your dog. It's incredibly difficult when pets get sick. The best thing to do is spend as much time with him/her as you can. I know this is awful to hear, but animals do get sick and eventually pass on in life. The best thing you can do right now is to make sure your pet feels loved and is comfortable.

    Friends know where to reach me.
    So long, and thanks for all the fish.
