• 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.

Officially I have an eating disorder not otherwise specified:
Compulsive over eating coupled with periods of extensive restriction worked into a generally obsessive mind set over consumption of food in general.

The COE developed post-hospitalisation for anorexia. Whilst the treatment succeeded in getting me to eat it failed to instil a healthy attitude towards food, portion sizes and listening to my body.

Hi,

Here is a Christian based course entitled The Lords Table that you may find helpful with your struggle with food. If you would prefer, you can buy the book instead of taking the FREE online sixty day course. (All their courses are FREE)

(I'm not able to post links yet since I am new to the forum) so you will have to do a search for the website:

For others that may be reading this, they have another course entitled In His Image : Freedom from anorexia and bulimia

I have never actually had one. However, this probably because for some reason my body will not let me purge. I have tried several times.

I'm a compulsive over eater (COE) and deal with anxiety when I'm not allowed to eat because I've reached my calorie in-take for the day. I go to OA meetings online every once in awhile and they're a huge help. I'm one full day abstinent from over eating and thrilled to be doing well this second day. I'm looking to slowly lose 40 pounds-- while increasing my knowledge of nutrition, listening to my body, eating healthier foods, and doing better at portion control.

One day at a time... :)
