Suggest Remedy For Mental Health Problems
I'm so scared I'm going to get put in a mental hospital. I hate myself and how I look and so don't eat for says at a time bt I hide this as my mum always threatened to put me in hospital for not eating but I cant make my self eat. To make things worse because I hate myself I focus on alcohol, the only time I can forget about my problems and feel normal is when I'm drunk. I haven't told anyone because I really don't want to be taken away. This fear and my hate for myself are the only things I think about and it controls my life.

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you have been going through a difficult time due to your negative thoughts about yourself and your appearance. You have also mentioned that you do not eat because of this. Now, these symptoms could suggest that you may be suffering from an eating disorder.
Since you seem to be quite distressed by these problems and you have resorted to drinking as you cannot cope up, I would suggest that you seek professional help. I would advise you to see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and psychological assessment.
Effective help is available in the form of medication or counselling to help you overcome your problems. So, please don't hesitate to seek professional help.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
