hey so in the start of november this boy from my school i liked since last year started texting me, we have never really talked much at all but we always say hi to each other. i liked him a bit since mid last year but it was never serious, but this time he asked me to hang out. we kept texting for a week but then he stopped texting me and started avoiding me at school. i thought it was because one of his friends said something bad about me. so i texted him later one night and he wrote a long paragraph basically explaining that he’s not ready for a relationship and that he is sorry. i responded kind of badly but then we talked again at school and he said he wanted to be friends still and that he’s not ready for a relationship because he has other commitments such as school and sports etc, but i wasn’t really persuaded because it was the last day of school but i didn’t say anything. i haven’t talked to him since and it’s been nearly three weeks and i miss talking to him, should i text him again or should i just leave it? i really want a relationship with him and i really like him.  ...

Hi, i've never used this website before to get help so i don't even know if anyone's gonna see this or reply lol.  anyway i have developed a binge eating problem, i guess, that's been happening every night for about 3 to 4 weeks now, i stopped for one day yesterday and i did it again today just then. i turned 15 a few months ago before the first lockdown for corona in march, since then i've been starting to get in the habit of working out and eating 'healthy' everyday. i never really cared much about my weight before all this, i didn't keep track of what i eat in a day and i barely weighed myself, i didn't care about how full my stomach gets after eating all the brownies and cookies i made with my friends. i didn't even know how calories worked. but not long after lockdown has started i've become obsessed with counting calories. i used to be able to feel satisfied and genuinely happy after eating something i really wanted, now eating just feels like a coping mechanism to stop myself from feeling stressed or sad.  most of the times i try to eat 'healthy' foods that are rated with a grinning face on the Lifesum app, if you know what i'm talking about. but as soon as i eat something that's 'bad' or 'unealthy' i automatically think that i've fucked up my day of clean eating already, even if it's just one freddo frog. and i start allowing myself to eat more and more junk food and always tell myself that starting from tomorrow i'm gonna eat the least food possible, but it never happens and the binge just repeats day after day. i've gained so much weight in the recent weeks and i can't even fit into my jeans anymore, but i still cant stop binging. even my mum has been telling me that i've gained too much weight. sometimes i just look at myself in the mirror and start crying because i hate the way my body looks so much but i feel so out of control. i'm scared to talk to people i know about this because i feel so ashamed about this because i'm always the one that makes people laugh. i can't even talk to my own mum about this because she always gets mad at me for not eating the food she cooks and later on i make waffles and pancakes and binge on those, even after i've told her i feel like i can't control myself from binge eating.  please let me know if you have the same problem or if you have any tips on how to stop binge eating, i would really appreciate it. :) ...
