• 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.

hey,
Guys, I've got a problem. I've been fighting "anorexic tendancies" for quiet a long time. Lately things have totally lost control though. Yesterday and today were the first times I ate all week. I freak out if I eat and don't bike, run or exercise some other way to make sure that I burn more calories that I eat. I've been tempted lately to purge. last night, I almost gave into that temptation, I spent around 10 minutes on my bathroom floor trying, but then gave up. It's so hard, I wanted so bad to go try more until I get it right. And I ended up cutting, although I'm not sure if it's because i didn't get it right, or because i tried....I just don't know what to do. I don't know the point of this thread, prayers? advice? anything...I need...help...thats hard for me to say, but I just....i don't know...I've known all along that if I didn't do something it would turn into something more, more than i wanted...and it's headed that way, but i don't know if i can stop it know...i don't kno....sry....i doubt i made much sense....

hi, Tsax.

you may have a hard time, if not impossible time, without getting solid help from doctors. when you cant help but do something, no about of hoping and determining is gonna make you able. you need help when it gets to the point where you cannot control it. please seek help, ok?

you are fine to post this here. i'm glad you did. keep talking ok?

be blessed. :hug:

btw, i love your avatar.

my sister is going thru that right now, its really hard for her. but, let me say one thing, maybe it won't make sense, who knows. if you don't think you can stop, think about the people who love you and do it for them. if nothing else, take vitamins (thats the only thing that kept my sister alive) at least, to give your body some nutrients before you get help...or the courage to. but i highly encourage you to go to a doctor....there are so many complications and heart problems you can develope by not supplying your body with what it needs. i'll be praying for you. you know what, its goin to be alright!!
