I feel your pain, as I have also been at a state in my life where i felt hopeless like no one cared. I think everyone has been to certain extent. It seems like you're extremely fearful; of the world around you and yourself. But reaching out and admitting that you're struggling is a step forward and a success! So i want to welcome you to this forum, as we will try our best to help you through what it is you're going through...
I've found that the best way to lose weight, is to change my lifestyle and entire outlook on life around. Get excited about losing weight, because you're achieving a goal with every pound, every inch lost! There's been times where i've reached a plateau in life, but it only drives me to change my self, change my surroundings and become something better. If you're not proactive in managing your impulse eating, then you're only going to slip farther and farther away. But turning your life around is soo worth it! And I hope you believe these words, because I know from experience that the 12 steps, going to meetings, getting closer to my higher power, it all works! I think first you should tackle your weight, it's a health concern and seems to be the root of your depression and anxiety. Slowly those problems will be attended to without even realizing it! If you're proactive about your health and your internal state of mind, I promise you, you will feel happier and healthier! Give it time, give it thought, effort, change your internal dialect to positive thoughts, love and be happy with yourself first, and others will recognize that and slowly you will gain friendships and possibly a lover! But you have to love yourself first! I hoped this helped, I can only offer you advice from what I've learned... I give you a lot of credit for sharing your story here on this forum, and remember, take it one day at a time! :):)
