    Support thread for ED/SI/etc ... come on in! *poss. trig* (5)

    Hello everyone! I stopped by here a while back, but I haven't been on this forum for a while. Anyway, I feel like I'm backsliding. I feel so out of control in my life and all the stress makes me want to stop eating again. I feel too big and unattractive. Plus, I can't exercise again because...

    under spiritual attack!

    Ever since I've been trying to be closer to God I feel under spiritual attack! Please pray for me!!!!! I need God's strength to fight the mental battle against the constant whispers of the evil one, who just won't let up. I've fallen into depression and need prayer to discern which thoughts...

    Riana, welcome! I'm sorry you're feeling so down on yourself and filled with guilt. I know what you mean. I too often have a lot of these kinds of emotions. It's so easy to look at other people and compare ourselves and feel so inadequate in comparison. I don't know how to stop it. I wish...

    Soulwings, I was wondering about your question as to whether being vegan has anything to do with my ED. I really don't think so. I mean, it does help to keep my weight under control, but my main reasons for being vegan are to do what I can to limit animal cruelty. Also, for health...

    You could have a soy intolerance or allergy. It's very common.

    New Here *Possible Triggers*

    Oops. LOL. I guess when I think of "sobriety" and "sober" my thoughts automatically go to not drinking alcohol. LOL. I am so glad that you and your husband are getting help. Oh, in terms of protein, I eat tofu (and other sources of protein) for that. Admittedly, that might contain less...

    Hello you all! I'm a newbie, so I wanted to pop in. I have heard it said that once a person has an eating disorder, that they always have one. I guess this makes sense because even when we start eating "normally," which I have, we still have issues in this area...especially in terms of...

    Is anyone out there that feels the same??

    Hello! I've been in a similar situation, so I can completely understand where you are coming from. I have mostly recovered from my eating disorder (I say mostly because there are still self-image issues that God is helping me resolve, but I now have eaten normally for a long time). I would be...

    Well, it sounds like you have several issues to work with: sobriety, the eating disorder, self-esteem, marital issues (?). I know it is a lot to deal with. I don't know if I can address all of these issues, especially sobriety (other than to stay stop drinking and pray, which of course...

    doubting God

    Pixler, I am so glad that you realize that to have anything to do with porn is not of God and that you want to be healed from your addiction. Remember, all things are possible with God! With Him on your side, you CAN beat this! It looks like you're not married. Please, work with God on healing...

    I don't know your situation, but my thoughts and prayers are with you! Hold on to the truth now during this time of your life.

    What would you do here?

    I would suggest keeping your ministry position a little longer (especially if you're helping people and if it provides an income for your family). Of course, I'm not aware of all the details, so follow what you believe God is telling you.

    Another praise!

    A few days ago I injured my arm doing yoga; I pulled a muscle or something. I could hardly move it, and I thought it would take weeks to heal. But, after just a few days, it's almost 100% better!!!! I thank God so much for his healing...and his protection! I also almost got into a car...
