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.

ED is sometimes a life long commitment to continue to struggle through it. sometimes healling is on the outside, but isn't secured on the insde side. continue to break down the walls ED has created for you. ups and valleys are in lots of different shapes; ED is one of them. you can do it! remember that there is many other parts of you, and to your life. ED is only a fraction. 
God bless you!
God bless you!

Recovery is a one day at a time process. Instead of looking at your age, or the time you have struggled with your eating disorder, look at today. Worship the Lord, pray, thank Him for today and for providing for all of your needs. Stay ed free for one day. Then, wake up tomorrow and do it again.
God does not look at your past failings and shake His head in disgust as you do. God looks at you with love and offers His Son to give you salvation and His Spirit to give you strength for today. One day at a time.
Hugs,
Trish

The thing I found most helpful in my journey towards freedom was rather than identifying in the e.d. was to start focusing on other aspects of my life. The less time you "devote" psychologically, emotionally, behaviourally to the e.d. and the more time you spend in alternative activities, the lesser the e.d. will become. The strongholds it has over your life lessen as does it's power. Don't allow the "number of years" to restrict what the coming years may bring for you. All too often I fell into that trap, believing well i've been living like this for the past 12yrs now, what hope do I have of ever changing, but God is the God of hope, and with a little bit of God-given hope anything can be achieved!! Don't give up, freedom is attainable if this is what your soul desires.
