Just need so advice and a little support

Hello everyone, I was going so well with finding ways to resist urges and avoid creating them, I was doing so well in fact I was 'free' for 44 days. And just as I was starting to belive I was strong again, things started going bad, I started feeling like I couldn't get anything right and that I always failed.
I believe I have a form of ED (even though I have never actually been diagnosed) this month I have had so much chocolate, cake and lollies (I normally do everything to avoid all fatty foods, I'm vegetarian for many reason: I hate meat and because it's healthy and because I don't eat alot) due to my 16th birthday and two friends having birthday parties, I feel so fat and digusting after eating all that fatty stuff, I hate that I couldn't resist eating all that crappy food, I normally find it easy, but partically tonight at a party which I regret going to because nobody even noticed me.. I couldn't resist the Cherry Ripe chocolates, and the marshmellows.... all because the birthday girl had forgotten to tell her Dad I'm vegetarian I had no other food to eat.. I don't like pizza and there was nothing else to eat.. but I still feel disgusting for eating the chocolate and I'm trying not to blame her.. but I did let her know everyday threes days prior to the party.. yet still there was nothing for me to eat.. I'm just a little annoyed that she invited me had food for everyone else but me.. she knows I hate it when I eat chocolate (and other fatty foods, she is aware of my eating habits)... and that I only like dark choclate.
It just makes me want to give in all over again (to the urges), but I already stuffed that up, I gave in just yesterday to my almost 7 weeks free.

I breed rats (I don't care what some of you might think, rats are amazing and I love them) and we had a litter of babies and I had a favourite girl which I had planned to keep, and then she died at about 2weeks old, then her brother (who happened to be one of my favourite boys) had a problem and he was suffering badly so we had to put him to sleep, and now we can't even keep any of the babies cause they might have a genetic issue.. not only that but their mother is sick and has an ear infection which is so bad that she may have developed a brain tumor, she in now on medication. but because she is so sick, she is constinatly scared and when I pick her up to give her her medication it's a battle to keep her calm and still to give it to her, she freaks out, and due to her lack of balance with the ear infection I try not to drop her as she runs in circles in my arms and flips over (like a seal does in water) it's really painful for me to see her like this, I hate that I couldn't help her sooner (due to her feeding her babies) I wish I had been able to prevent it getting so bad. If she doesn't improve in the next ten days I'll have to start considering if I should put her down (which I would do if she is suffering badly) but I don't want her to leave, and I can't think about not having her with me, I want the best life for her. I just hope she will get better, but she seems to be getting worse and due to her massive fears at the moment she has bitten me four times.. I hate being able to tell people "rats don't bite, they are amazing and like little puppies" which is true, I know she has every reason to bite, but I'm so scared of her every time I need to give her medicine, because it really hurts when she bites, she is so scared she latches on and her teeth sink in, I try not to pull away because last time I did she landed on the floor which is what (I think) caused her infection to gradually get worse.. I am finding it so hard to cope with it all..

I'm so sorry this is a massive post, I just have some much little things in the one problem that I needed to get off my chest, no-one seems to fully understand just how much all my rat's mean to me.

Just one little thing I hate that I gave in to my fears and over thinking and my constant urges yesterday, after finding a little sharp tool to use, I just lost it and cut again, I'm so glad it was just a single cut. I am proud I didn't continue. but still I gave in. and I'm trying so hard not to hate myself for it..

Thank you for reading all of this. It means a lot to me.

I know just how you feel about that. I'm vegan, and it's super hard when people don't care to be accommodating. I usually bring to food to parties that I can eat, just in case nobody else does. I may have ulterior motives, but nobody minds me showing up with veggies and homemade hummus :D

I also understand completely about feeling guilty about eating sweets. I honestly think I have a pretty gnarly sugar addiction, but I'm doing the best I can to fix it. I've recently been checking in with a friend every week and telling him about how I'm progressing with my goals (which include reducing sugar intake and eliminating diet soda). If you need a similar kind of support, or just need someone to talk to that understands this sort of thing, I'd be happy to do so :D

I'm also sorry your friend didn't seem to understand how hard it is for those of us with food issues. My roommate makes little stabs at me from time to time, but then acts like I'm going overboard when people bring me treats and I offer some to him so I don't eat all of them. It's the same reaction when he offers to take me some place to get a treat and I say no. People in general like to make fun of people with eating disorders (ESPECIALLY compulsive eaters) but they just don't understand it's not funny, it's not something any can control, it SUCKS.
