Feeling very very down.

Last Week, I just found that I am adopted, and well it was shocking news to me, and ever since, i don't know how to cope with this feeling, of anger, frustration, and my boyfriend whom I really cared about dumped me and all this frustration is making me eat a lot. The past week I've been going out eating all fast food places to help me feel better, I don't know why..but I know that I need to excersize but I just can't get off my butt and not sleep all day and locked up in my room feeling bad :(

Any suggestions? :(

you need to get up, drink a glass of water, take a shower, and go out, do anything. go to barnes and nobles, go anywhere and keep your mind occupied. looking nice while you do this doesn['t hurt. don't sit inside and wallow. things will get better i promise!!! just stay strong and reach out to your friends.

thank you

I agree, get out and do something. Pick up a new hobby, or focus on workign out and stuff. Last year I broke up with my boyfriend of over 3 years (we also had a house together), and I was completely down in the dumps (there were other bad things going on too), could barely get out of bed. I knew I couldn't stay that way. I've always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, so I went out and bought one and started practicing alot. It helped, it gave me pride in myself.

You are having a hard time right now.  It is okay to feel whatever it is you are feeling right now.  Please keep going and work out, and watch what you eat.  That way, you can repeat MY mantra:  "Yeah, life sucks right now, but at least I look fabulous!"

I am sorry you had such a shock.  I am also sorry that your boyfriend wasn't more supportive.  I will hope that you meet a man who will be a friend first and a boyfriend second. 

Don't worry about anyone  but you right now!

If hunger isn't the problem, which it clearly isn't. Then food isn't the solution. =)

Keep strong sweetie. Things will get better. Take control if will make you feel good! <3

You need to discuss how you feel about the adoption news with your family.  It's understandable that you're shocked but now you need to work through the reasons why you feel angry and frustrated.   You must have a lot of questions and you need to ask those questions and get the answers before you're genuinely going to start feeling better.   There's no good time to get that kind of news and I expect your parents are quite anxious about your reaction and would love you to talk to them.

For what it's worth....  Being adopted means that you were consciously chosen.  Which I think is rather a wonderful and special thing.   Best of luck
