stuck between a rock and a hard place

Starting to have doubts. Im wondering if getting better is worth gaining all this weight.
I still feel numb inside..... the pain hasnt gone although i tend not to show it anymore. I want people to be able to see the mess i am inside... If im not emaciated anymore, how would people know i am going through hell? They'll just think im faking and being dramatic. I know longer have physical evidence for my pain.
Going back to school in a couple of weeks, starting grade10... quite a big year, and im petrified for my peers to see my new size. Im no longer thin.
I'm so hoping and praying this year will be good and i wont put my parants through this pain ever again, but the more i stick with my food-plan, the more petifried i get about gaining weight and not being special.
Please, i need help...... please, if someone could give me some advice....... i feel im slipping and worse, i feel like i want to.....

Grade 10 Wow!, Its been 12 years since I was that age and grade level. Looking back, those were some really fun and interesting times. They were also difficult at times. If your a mess inside, work with your psychiatrist, anti-depressants help alot, they keep you positive and upbeat even though you don't want to be. But its much better than being depressed and full of anxiety, for you and those around you. Find what you want to do with your life ASAP, in terms of careers. and do well in school. Employment is a bitch when you get out in the real world. You won't have school everyday to keep you busy,......sounds great now...but it gets boring...but there are always things to do.
Best of luck...happy new year! PS- eat well, its good to put on some weight, the opposite sex doesn't find mal-nutrition attractive.

Thanks so much, i really appreciate the advice! I really needed it!
haha, i guess the whole opposite sex vibe was a motivation to loose weight and im scared that through gaining weight i will never get the oppertunity to be romantically involved.... which scares me as i have my dance in a few monthes!!
thanks again for the advice, it means a lot :)x

Hi Worththeweigth,

In high school I was very obcessed with my weight. I went from being really skinny to what I call plump because of a medicine used to treat my juvenile arthritis. I obsessed so much over being heavier that it caused me to isolate myself from others. I thought others didn't like or didn't want to be my friend because of my size and disease. Looking back I see how I taught others how to treat me. I missed out on so much in high school because of the obsession. I can completely relate even still wondering if weight gain is worth it but don't look as it as weight gain. Change your thinking to is a healthier life worth it? I promise it is. Take time to just enjoy high school and laugh with friends. take the pressure off yourself about relationships and such! Any ways I hope this helps!!
