Unburden yourself here, what is destroying you right now?

Our cat passed (didn’t know anything was wrong although he was pretty old and had issues with his eyes) and only got a text from mom. Got a tooth infection that stopped me from eating for 3 days, its ok now but its triggered my anorexia again. I can’t look myself in the mirror which leaves me a bit paranoid cuz I wouldn’t know if my hair was brushed properly or if I have something on my face and the only way I can tell that I’m not clinically obese is by checking if I still fit in my clothes (size 36/S/XS so it doesn’t make sense that I’d look like a big boulder in my mirror yet I do). My Melatonin (sleep medication) was taken off insurance so I can’t sleep well since I have to compensate with my other 2 sleep medications.

Right now I just feel so alone, there’s people that I can reach out to but there’s like w wall stopping me. I did write yesterday tho but just feel so abandoned and alone, a small part of me wants to lash out at people, make them distance themselves from me so they wouldn’t be as affected if I died. It feels like I have regressed to my teens and those times were so awful that I don’t remember anything and can only piece together through old diaries, stories from friends and medical journals.
