• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Going to the doctor's tomorrow for some checkup. College needs up to date medical records, apparently. They'll probably give me some injection, and I hate needles. The ones for strep throat were always painful. Haven't had a shot in years. :sigh:

Exhausted. Had a pretty good day. A little annoyed at works schedule for me next week but I'll manage, I guess. Next paycheck or when I donate plasma, I'll be signing up for dorms and I have cut out toxic people from my life for good.

Feeling bad again. Why do I measure my worth on how fat I am? I don't know why, maybe it's how my family raised me and society in general who puts so much importance on being thin. I am losing weight but just not fast enough. But it's not good to lose a lot fast I've always heard.

I know how you feel. It's never good to measure yourself based on others. I sometimes feel about being scrawny, pale, covered in acne, a virgin, etc. But none of those things matter to God. :hug: Never forget that. To Him, you are being held in higher esteem for doing your best to follow Him :)


As for me, I had some shots today, from that doctor's checkup. They didn't hurt much, but my left arm still smarts from the tetanus vaccine. At least I won't get tetanus or meningitis :)

Thank you! God loves us regardless of what we look like, yes. Half of my family is anorexic so you see they really are ill about their weight. There's got to be a happy medium.

As someone who used to be severely overweight and has now been diagnosed with anorexia, I am sincerely concerned for you sister. I truly believe losing weight will not make you happier. Losing weight will not resolve any underlying issues with self-esteem or being overly concerned how others view you. If one is unhappy with themselves now, the problem is a mental/psychological/emotional one, not a physical one. At least it was for me. I am hoping and praying you find that "happy medium".

Thanks. I realize I have self esteem issues and am seeing a counselor for that and depression. We haven't gotten into the self esteem issues yet but I am going to bring it up tomorrow at my appointment. Thanks for your concern.

I think it's a lack of emotion.

that explains it.

I felt that way yesterday. Either take a nice nap or do something to alleviate the boredom.

it isn't boredom or tiredness. i don't feel anything aside from feeling dead. I'm quite busy at work but like. If I were to get fired or yelled at or whatever, I wouldn't care or feel anything. It'd just be, "'Kay."

I feel like I'm getting addicted to negative feelings. I can't stop being bitter, annoyed, frustrated, or anxious about something or other. Please pray that I will remember that God will,keep me safe and that i don't have to let other things control me.
