Dump depression: That sure sounds like depression talking. Everyone is worthy of support. Consider therapy http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org and checking in with your physician.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Less News, + Therapy: When you are depressed and grieving, hearing about other's tragedies can be overwhelming. News media will present the most sensational stories about accidents, fires, plane crashes. I recommend that you try avoiding watching news on TV and reading newspapers for a while. If you are seeing a psychologist/therapist using CBT, discuss this with him/her. Please get help with your bulimia also!
