• 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.

hmmm, I just can't deal with this anymore, I decided that it might be a good idea to weigh myself again today as I haven't for a while. I am underweight again, not by much, but enough to be really dissapointed in myself. I was doing pretty well, but, I guess, I tend to ignore things when I get really down, and this seems to be what I've done, AGAIN! I just wish there was a simple way to get to the root of this, and let go of whateer it is that has made me like this. The thing that annoys me most, is that I'm soo fat, even though I'm underweight. It just makes no sense! yet again, I don't know where I'm going with this. guess I'm just venting. sorry guys. anyone got anyideas on how I could stop myself doing this? cos really, I have no clues anymore!

the only real answers lie in Jesus, so turn to Jesus, He is the only one that can help you, He can work through others, but all things start through Christ. He holds the key to the answers you are looking for. Stay strong, read His Word, talk to Him daily, well talk to Him constantly. I know things seem hard right now, there will come a day that you will come out victorious, God has made you a warrior, not a warrior of failure, but one of victory. God has aready claimed your victory, so even though it doesn't seem like you have won, just proclaim that victory that God has given you, believe in that victory and you will come out victorious and even stronger than you were going into the battle.

I'll be praying for you, may God truly bless you, and if ya ever wanna talk, feel free to PM me

Perhaps you will have to work at this day by day.. if you're underweight eat even when you don't feel hungry.. I admit that I don't know much about your eating disorder.

I'm sorry you feel fat when the scales are telling you that you're too thin. Keep pushing yourself in the right direction and don't give up on yourself.. one day at a time, day by day.

Sometimes we feel that everybody else is coping, when in reality most people are muddling through life. I used to see the smartly dressed women and always thought they had it together, but as I get older I know better.

It's like a domino effect, each small postive act can lead to other small positive acts.. and then when you think about it you realise you're life is much better.

But we all have worries in our life, loved ones sick, death of dear friends and relatives.. my elderly father is going to have heart surgery soon.. hope he makes it through..

Sometimes we need to talk to a kind friend or professional to help us sort things out, the trick is to find the right friend or professional.. Consider yourself hugged, Jenafer.

God helps those that help themselves, be brave and push yourself in the direction he would want you to go..

I was doing really well again, got up to a normal weight, not just minimum like I was aiming for, but normal but then the past few days, somehow managed to lose like 6lbs in 2 days.
I'm trying, I just find it soo hard, I think it's cos there are underlying issues that caused this problem with control and my looks, I think I know what that is, but don't wanna chat about it on here, there is another section for that, but, I dunno, guess I have to really try again, I ate like some mash potato for tea, and that's bout it, and feel sick.
grrrrr, it's getting soo annoying!
oh well, at least I can try and help others who are getting close to being like me, cos I hate to see people suffer, especailly with ED's or things that I know how hard they are, other things it's just as bad really, I just don't know how they feel, any, babbling now, sorry.
but, yer, am gonna have to keep trying! I know I'll get there in the end cos I really do wanna get better, just can't really do it without support from someone at home or school, but I can't deal with support with this, not from someone I know, cos it's soo hard, it really hurts cos I know I'm hurting them!

anyway, babling again! will shut up now!
God bless

Hello Again, remember what I said about fighting this problem a day at a time. You fight this tiger (eating disorder) a day at a time.. we have a high protein shake in Australia called Hospital Sustagen, which is available at the chemist.. if you were an Aussie I would encourage you to buy some. Then put a large spoonful in a glass of milk and drink it down.

I kew a girl who had your eating disorder once, and her friend encouraged her to reintroduce one new food a week. Try to keep one part of your mind seperate from the illogical thoughts. We will call this one part part of your sane mind good old 'common sense'. Use common sense to push yourself forward.. you can do it..

About your looks, sometimes we need an older or wiser person help us recreate ourselves.. help us take charge of our own individual style. If you were my daughter I would help you with these issues.. We come in all shapes and sizes, and in all colours too.. it can be fun to make the most of our own individual look.

In an ideal world people would be kinder to each other, sometimes they are but many times people are not.. Take no notice if you find yourself in a cometitive atmosphere is a social situation, etc.

My best wishes are with you, Jenafer.

I beg you to prayfully consider help. I have an eating disorder too. Mine is so sick that I have to watch out for being jealous of those with Anexeria (how siily is that!). The point is, COE, Bulimics, and Anerexics all have the same problem, no matter what weight or size, they self hate. Please do not try to go through this alone. Its a disease that will lie to you, rob your joy, and eventually kill you. God wants our bodies to be temples, and this area, our eating, our bodies, we need to turn over to the Lordship of Jesus, with help of THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THE DISEASE. This is so hard to do, do I ever know about how hard it is. Will be praying for you

thanks Reann, I'm trying to speak to my mum, I'm just really scared, especially as a m8 said something to mum which got her thinking and worrying again and making threats! I think I'll have to see how things go over the next few weeks, ad then tell my mum, mum's off work this week so she'll be forcing me to eat, so I should hopefully get better, no matter how painful it is!
