• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I need to apologize to that read the thread where I dais good-bye. I hope that you understand that at that time it took all that I had to get that out. In the past I have gone to counselors and therapists. They only touched on the outside not on the inside. They helped me to keep the wrapping of my package together and well wrapped. (Me , Myself) And now I am with a therapist that wants to unwrap it, get to what is inside, and figure what it is that is causing the unhappiness, hurt, and despair. Before I had a label or two. Now with the research and timed that I have spent with this therapist she has given me the proper diagnoses. I am going off my meds wich were not helping just making things worse. And multiplying problems. During this time things have became even worse to deal with but I'm making it through it all as best as I can. And I'm finally getting to sleep more then a couple of hours in a week. So for today things are ok. I can't say that I feel excitement but because of a life wrapped in the numbing package would I know if I felt it? Anyway I have came to some new agreements with my therapist. She will weigh me in her office. Unstead of being weighed at the doctors were there was always someone different. I will not look and she will not tell. Becausse of the OCD I would try to control the numbers. For trade I am to start counting the amount of calories that she will provide me with. If I don't get to the number given I don't get to exchange it for exercise. I will give this all a go and see where it takes me. I took time away from here because I was struggeling so bad and letting things in here trigger and keep me down. I hope that those offended will forgive.

I am so happy you have found a good therapist who is helping you in this way. It sounds like she is wise and has experience with your diagnoses.

I hope that I have not been one who has triggered you. My sharing here is from what has helped me in my journey, having been in treatment and therapy for years. My motivation has always been from a place of having been where the person who is hurting is, and knowing what has helped me get out of the ruts I have found myself.

Hugs,
Trish

It has not been you. There is so much that I deal with. With other diagnoses. I fell on my own and did not choose to get up when I had hands to help me get up. There is more then what I share on here. I took time to spend just on myself, to figure things out. I wanted to be away from hurt. Others aw well as my own. I needed to spend time in my cacoon.

It is okay that we go into our own cocoon now and then. Jesus often went off by Himself to get alone with the Father. We need that solitary time with the Lord more and more as we heal. You don't ever have to apologize for that time you spend away with just you and the Lord. Just don't spend your time away from us away from Him too. He longs to heal you as you go through your new therapy.

Hugs,
Trish

Daysoni, I am glad you took care of yourself by taking the time you needed to focus on you. Sometimes we do forget to tend to ourselves the way we tend to others.

I hope you are getting more good rest. I always find good sleep can help everything. I'll be praying for you. I know this journey is hard.:prayer:

I hope I didn't trigger you. Daysoni, you are wonderful to have around here, I wish you well and I pray for your continued strength in recovery. You have a support network here of friends who are willing to pray for you and talk to you, keep you goal-orientated, if you wish to use us in that way. :hug:

It's not the people here that were the trigger. It's just when I'm struggeling and I'm reading of others struggles I began to only see the negative in my ED. Then that is what I would dwell on. And I started to give up again. I had to step away to collect my self and thoughts and dive depp into things in therapy. I couldn't have any distraction's. So see every one it wasn't any of you it was me and where I was in my struggles. I'm much stronger today. It was me and the way I was dealing and copeing not any of you.

I have had to step back from here too, to be able to really assess my situation. It takes a lot of strength to do that. :hug:

I think we all ebb and flow in our recovery, and sometimes we need to pull away and regroup, alone, with the Lord. The important thing is to know that there is a group to which we can return for support and encouragement. Also important is to be giving the support, as we heal when we give of ourselves.

Hugs,
Trish

I started posting Positive things from my Treatment Binder and other things that I am learning that are helping me in a thread here in the ED forums. It's called Ways To Love Your Body. Any one feel free to post things that help them. I will pm, post, and chat as much as I can. This is the first time that I am putting my healing first. It's hard and it's scary. I still want to help others. It's just at times I tend to get wrapped up in others and forget about my healing. Please be patient with me. And post positive things in my other post. Thank you
