You have a lot of real problems to solve but eating doesn't solve any, and in fact, distracts you from working on these family issues and job issues. You need help, and counseling would be best along with the antidepressants. If you can't afford that, then you can get some help with all of these issues by joining my 12 week shrinkyourself.com program.

is there a way to live truly alone without feeling lonliness and craving for human interaction, food without feeling bad, like being self sufficient emotionally because of other things costs money, pain, betrayal, taken advantage of, sort of a bad bargain for me.  i am addicted to thinking all the time.  any answers

i had approached a counsellor she is not very helpful. she says she cant do anything if my fear is stopping me. i am terribly afraid to make my presence felt anywhere lest they disapprove.  i am on antidepressants and sleeping pills.  you mentioned about your program i am afraid i will strain my eyes and mind trying to understand it.  could you tell me the cost.
