• 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

Well... I guess this ride hasn't stopped. Just sat at the top of the hill for awhile... but now I've plummeted back down at break neck speed and here I sit, stuck once again. I really thought I had managed to put this behind me, but I guess not.

Yep, I'm back to looking in the mirror and seeing a huge blob. I'm back to hating to be around food. I'm back to physically feeling sick at the thought of putting something in my mouth and swallowing. It's been almost 4 days since I last ate. I'm back on the water, vitamin pills and one meal replacement drink a day diet. The guilt factor is enormous - feel guilty for not eating... even guiltier when I do.

I hate this ride... wanna get off... when does it end?

Love,
Kaitie

Hey sweetie. I am sorry to hear you are feeling like this. I wish I had some advice....but the truth is that I am in your place too. I hope you realize what you are doing and stop. I don't wanna see you hurt...but then again who am I to tell you to stop? sorry for rambling...I care about you.

:angel: kaitie love .... spiritual war! fight to get back on track for you and maddie....:hug:... how about a small plan to fallow? like breakfast or brunch commitment. and light meals during the day? walking after you eat (sitting slows digestion) this is what is messing up your sleep i'll guess. lack of food = added stress... = lack of sleep + anxiety+ restlessness :( ... take care of lovely Kaitie. :hug: and maddie needs you honey. see the doc if you have too. :hug:

ED can be very taxing. focus on the things you are doing right. don't let this struggle tear you down from where God is taking you. overall this struggle is nothing compared to the lovely blessings you are learning and recieving in other recoveries. :angel: ..... love you sweet kaitie!:angel:

Katie ~ (not going to call you "notworthknowing" because you are! ;) )

Sweetie, I KNOW about the spiral, or rollercoaster that you're on. First hand I know that it's a tough row to hoe, but I KNOW that you can take charge of this. You are not what your body looks like. You are not a number or a size.... you are Katie and God loves you! Keep your chin up!

I'm praying for you! :prayer:
