Prayer Request

Please pray for me. I got myself into a situation that I can't fix on my own. Reaching out has never worked in my favor. I don't know who I can trust. I am afraid to hope in anyone anymore. It's hard to keep going when you've lost hope. I don't know what to ask for or even what I need. I can't even bring it to light without some sort of plan. I know I will be judged harshly and possibly disowned. Love always had conditions growing up. I try to accept and love everyone as they are. I know how terrible it is to grow up where you're only loved if you act or behave a certain way. The irony is, I wanted to make someone happy and that is how I got into this particular death snare/addiction. I can't recieve unconditional love. I struggle to try to accept it and it's almost impossible for me to believe it applies to me also. I've cried out to God so many times since I was 10 and had clinical depression. I tried to explain how I felt to my parents and they punished me because they thought I was acting spoiled. I had to realize and try to cope with the fact that they didn't understand, they didn't care to understand, they didn't want me to act like that, and I was on my own with this. So, I started cutting myself to feel better. Someone must have mentioned it to my parents. Only after I was told how selfish and embarrassing I was and asked half a dozen times, "How could you do this to us?", did they reluctantly take time out of their lives and let me see someone. I guess it was busy that time of year. It was hard to schedule me in so I ended up ruining Christmas that year. I'm 35. I have had this depression for over 20 years. Nothing really has helped it. I was really close with my dad until I was about 12. Then he decided I remind him of his mother and he doesn't talk to her so he basically stopped talking to me. I don't know if that is why that was the start of my eating disorder but I think it might be. So I had this eating disorder till maybe three years ago. I met this guy and when I still cared if he liked me, I started using this drug he was using. I did it because I was with people all day at work and I would see him and he would want me to be social and normal and I didn't have time to recharge and I didn't want to be weird to him so I said whatever and made a bad decision. I knew it at the time too. I thought, I don't like to be sad all the time for no reason and no one else wants to be around me when I'm like that. I'll do this and be more normal. The weight loss thing was another incentive and since I already had a preexisting issue with that, I really didn't have a chance. Please pray God would show me the reason why He would put someone who really only wanted to love and be loved by others in such a family. I need an answer how I'm supposed to deal this as it is much more than I can handle and I only attract abusive people into my life. I need to know why He would put a conscience into a person He only planned to damn anyway.
