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.

binging, or compulsively eating food, affects many people with eating disorders. Some of us don't purge. The only reason I don't is because I'm one of those taht HATE HATE HATE throwing up. If I feel sick, I'll lay perfectly still trying to will myself NOT too. Probably saved me from being an alcoholic too because there is a chance it might make me sick!! I have been going through 12 step program and working on a plan of eating. Its not a diet and calories club, but more of plan, designed for the individual through a sponser and your health care provider. My plan is more than food, its sitting down while I eat, paying attention to the NOW while I'm eating (I have a tendency to mentally check out while binging). Many COEs are thin, their metabolism just keeps them that way. Others are morbidly obese. They are men, women, children, christians, non christians, people from all walks of life. Seems self hatred is one of things shared by all of us, and a negative body image no matter what size.
