Self inflicting cycle

Everyone, I was curious if it was normal that I could have such a supporting and loving family, but isolate myself from all of them. I rarely communicate with my family but I turn to my “friends” the few I have or become obsessed with a boy. I don’t feel like I’m able to love or be loved, why do I feel this way? I don’t love myself. I’ve been very promiscuous since I lost my virginity. I’ve had sex for money. The more I fuck up the more I don’t want to talk to anyone... I fantasize everyday about being healthy and know everything I need to do to achieve my goals. But I don’t do it. I do the same things that land me into more trouble such as drinking and driving, getting multiple tickets, violate probation, procrastinate, and at the end of the day I feel depressed that I do the things I do. I’m repulsed with myself because I eat too much, too fast and spend too much money on food everyday. I believe in God but I swear if I didn’t I would have tried to kill myself, and I still think about it sometimes. Why am I like this? Why do I self sabatoge myself like this? My mom claims it’s because I’m an only child and I didn’t get my a** beat enough when I was younger. I need help. *first post* Thanks.

    I was like this till I got into group and individual therapy. Climbing out of these behaviors is really hard but it is soooo worth it. Have you looked into CBT?

    Holy crap I'm exactly like everything you said except for the food thing plus I'm an atheist:D I have Borderline Personality Disorder btw., you should do some research about that. Could you describe your childhood? were you spoiled? but also did you have any stress or traumas?

    Yeah borderline was the thought I got as well. May be worth getting the free audible trial and the book surviving a borderline parent

      Ahh, I see. How has that worked for you?
      It's not good to keep blaming your parents for your bad behavior and attention seeking. You are an adult now. Hope you wise up and get better soon. Bye.

          No need to be over defensive - nothing I said was disrespectful. I know that's difficult to see after how your parents treated you, but not everyone is as abusive and neglectful as they were.
          Respect is earned. Please try to follow your own advice if you desire it in life.

            You have an extremely condescending and presumptuous attitude. Did I say I was borderline? No. And I am not. I recommended a book. You can know about a self help book even if you don't have a condition that it talks about.
            Does the book 'blame' parents? No. And you don't know because you've never read it.

            You literally assumed my age, behavior, opinion of my parents, my parents behavior, the contents of this book, and that your own behavior isn't disrespectful. Are you truly this unaware? Do you just walk around never asking questions and just making stuff up in your head?
            'Respect is earned' if this means you are going to be disrespectful to people who have never spoken to you, I'd advise you rethink this philosophy. You were so disrespectful and then tell me I should follow that advise. But yet I didn't do anything disrespectful. Lol I just told you that you didn't know what you were talking about because you didn't. And then proceeded to tell me I was being defensive followed by you being extremely defensive lol claiming an objective lack of disrespect in any of your (wrong and rude) assumptions

              What you post on this site is public. It doesn't matter that we've never "spoken", I've seen your constant assumptions, projection and attention seeking all over this site. You are a very disrespectful person, so you get what you give.

              If you are an adult this behavior would typically indicate a mental disorder of some kind. Even the way you've chosen to respond here, with lots of deflection, makes it obvious you don't have much control over your feelings and are very insecure.

              Just because you can't see it doesn't mean we can't.
