O3O... I wish I was closer too! Because you seem like a pretty awesome dude! <3 I'm sorry you're going through a really rough time. :(

Sorry to hear that. I wish the best of luck to you and your health. Take care.

Why are you popping pills and only eating once a day? To lose weight? Getting to a healthy weight is a positive goal, but only eating once a day and taking pills is not healthy and probably will kill you.

If you are trying to lose weight you should be eating six times a day, small things. Like six snacks. This will keep your metabolism working throughout the entire day, and your stomach won't be empty and hurting for most of it. If you only eat once a day, your body goes into starvation mode, and instead of burning the food when you eat once a day, it automatically turns that food into fat.

The not eating much at all is probably also affecting you emotionally and making you depressed, which is why you are having an extra hard time right now :(

If it is because you don't have enough food to eat, can you sign up for government help to get food?

^this, all of this! ;___;

PS: This is what I do, eating mostly vegetables and protein, and I lose about 4lbs a week. It's much more comfortable than starving!

As far as I know, it's not wanting to lose weight, it's lack of funds. :/

Yeah I asked about that at the end of my post.

In the case of not having many funds, it's probably still best for the stomach lining if they stretch their food out over the whole day. And if they need funds for food, they should get help at the local human services offices. Human services exist in most towns in the USA, and they will help with things like filing SS paperwork and getting them signed up for food assistance.

I'm afraid I don't know much about it, I'm not from the US. :/

I added that because I saw he was in the USA. And he'll likely read all these comments, so I figured I may as well not repeat myself xD

I'm not going to get into his personal life, and I'm not the one to talk about it. However, his journals from the past can easily clear up a lot of this if you're wondering. But the meds aren't because he's trying to lose weight. The meds are because of health problems that he has no real control over, and the medical specialists he has been seeing are trying to help him fix. I think some of his older journals will help clear up mostly all of your questions, if you would care to look. Like I said, I'm not the one who should be talking on his behalf, so I apologize if this isn't very helpful.

know the loneliness feeling...wish this kitty could help

If I lived closer I'd come over all the time.

Curse being on the other sode of the country!

If you can't ask your brother, what about Zod? This is serious stuff. Eating only once a day, is that gonna screw up your health? If I were in your shoes, I'd be calling the doctor's office and asking for help. I don't think I can help from up here in Northernlands.

I'm so worried about you. So very worried. :(

*hugs* I know it's scary but you should really ask your brother for help again, it's ok to need help and ask for it - you can help him back if he helps you now to get back on your feet. So in a way, you're doing him a favour by asking him to help you when you need it....

And I generally don't approach you because I don't wanna stress out your eyes, but you can always ask me for a voice call if you want company and I'll gladly do one if I have the time <3 *hugs* You're not alone and things are pretty terrible now... but you'll get through it. :)

*hugs tight*

A) there are many places that can give help and assistance for free or next to little money

You are suffering from depression it never going to go away you need help in controlling it either with group therapy or worst e case medication
manage the depression most everything else will be lot easier to manage.

Just because your furry does not man that you have to befriend only other furries cutting yourself short already.

Weight is also effected by depression so is health you depressed you feel bad/unwell them your body follows..

Gotta pick to say fuck it and start taking care of yourself, cause nobody honestly is really going to do it for you.

You should be eating more often, it sounds like the not eating is only making you feel sicker. Do you lack money to get food? Or is there something else stopping you? And you need to get help with those SS papers from somebody. It's very important.

Also, the depression. Yes, you should talk to a doctor about that, seriously.

If I were in this situation, I'd talk to the doctors about ALL THE PROBLEMS. It's their job to help, isn't it?

Stomach pains and sudden unexplainable weight loss...isn't necessarily a good thing, dude.

Me too ...
To be alone is shit ... x.x

I love you and so do all of your friends sweetheart. You know we'd be there if we could. And if you just asked Nette I'm sure she'd be there in a flash

I love you bubba. ..I love you immensely. .. and I can't imagine my life without y you in it. I know I haven't been around much and I honestly hate it. .. but as you know my life is all upside down and inside out right now. .. but that don't mean I don't think of you. I wish I was closer cause I love you and I wish so so much that I could see you. I have to see you. It's not a want its a must.

i'm sorry you're so down right now, i wish i could come visit you :c
for the social security papers, is there a phone number on them? they might be able to help you fill out the paperwork. i know that where i live, they actually set up an appointment and they'll do the whole thing right there with you if you couldn't do it on your own. even if they don't do that, though, you're having problems with your eyesight and they should have ways to help you fill it out because of that, if nothing else.
as for the taking pills on an empty stomach, that really can't be helping. a lot of meds can actually cause more harm than good on an empty stomach. try to at least eat some crackers or something a little bit before you have to take your meds, or drink some milk. i can't say much about the only eating once a day, since i've done that and still do pretty often.
i wish i could think of something else that might help. i'd definitely try talking with your doctors though, like someone else suggested. that's what they're there for, and they might be able to come up with local things that could help you that we wouldn't know about.

i wish everyone who wished they weren't alone wasn't.

most of the time for myself i'm glad i am though.

whether that means i'm something other then human, or just have a wooden head, i'll let someone else worry about.

but i do wish hugs and affection to everyone who needs them.

i love affection myself once in a while. i'm just glad to not need it as much all the time as i may have felt i did when i was a lot younger.

again also life is always changing so maybe sooner or latter someone will come along to give you the affection you need.

many times in my life it seemed like this would never happen, and then eventually, sometimes a long time and sometimes not so long, it did.

so sometimes it seems like there's not much can be done about it, but then sometimes it is.

the trick to avoiding disappointment is to avoid expectations.

Hey brother I just want you to know I love you so much and Im sorry that I havent been around to talk to to lately school has been getting in the way of that. And Im sorry I really do think of you almost every day worried about you and hoping your doing whatever you can to hang in there puppy.

I really do love you ever so much dont ever doubt that I really do care for you and I wish I lived closer so I could help you out during this time of need But I hope your able to get the help you need very soon. *huggles and snuggles closely*

I've been living with type I diabetes for almost 36 years. Please do yourself a favour and listen up.

You need to eat regularly, take your blood sugars regularly, medicate accordingly, and test for ketones if you feel like crap. Eating once a day will kill you. It's bad for most people, and it's suicide for us. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Snack if appropriate.

36 years, okay? This shit is survivable. So survive.

Check with the hospital that is taking care of you - they should have public assistance case workers to help you with these papers! Depending on the hospital, there may also be assistance programs you can apply for that will help reduce your medical costs, even temporarily, if you are below the income limits. They may also be in a position to help you with other public aid to help get basic necessities in the house. A phone call or two could get the ball rolling!
