Psychiatrist needed.: Please talk to someone you are close to- parents,friend or relative.Will need psychiatrist & a group of counsellors. It is an long process but 100% achievable! Start exercising daily 10-15 min -walk or zumba etc. drink 2-3 L of water or juices.

Lying to those: around you, particularly providers -- while it may be tempting to to do ("tell them what they want 2 hear") -- wont help u any. Ur providers cant help u, and could harm u, if they have the wrong info. Keep in mind that it's very unlikely that you'll say anything to shock ur MD. Ur doc has probably heard all sorts of feelings and behaviors that u may be ashamed 2 share. Give the truth a try ...
