• 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.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here but I come with a purpose.

Recently I have been unable to eat much food at all. My stomach is constantly feeling like it is tied in a knot. When I do eat food I feel overstuffed immediately and this is after a bite or two of anything. I've been drinking a lot of fluids (water, milk, etc) just to keep myself hydrated.

The reason this is happening to me is because my relationship of #.# years (I was about to get engaged) is falling apart. This isn't tearing me up as bad as one might think mostly because I've seen this coming a long time ago. What is twisting my stomach in knots is the fact I think I am falling for someone else. I think I am lovesick. I can't help these feelings. I just got a new job and I am trying to keep myself active because I cannot miss work.

I am drinking "Ensure" to help replace some of these lost nutrients and I've been trying to remember to take a vitamin supplement. What worries me is how to solve this because I obviously cannot do this for too much longer.

I know I should probably speak to a Doctor but I do not have a Doctor I can easily visit here. I however am going to see what I can do to see a Doctor asap.

Any advice would be helpful. I'll take anything and I'm not afraid to hear the "truth" whatever it might be. Thank you for the support.

~Lovesick

eat as often as you can make yourself until you are sure you are getting the right calories etc. seeing the doc asap is the perfect plan. besides these: :hug: relationships cause alot of stress, and at the end of one; regrets and guilts play on your self esteem. it's alot like grieving the loss of a life. a process of your heart and mind to sort out, mourn, and heal from. keep reaching out, and perhaps find the mens forum to tell your whole story to guys who can help you sort out feelings. us girls are here too. lol... i'm just wanting you to utilize the gifts that brothers will have about insight on us girls, and life. :hug: xo dee

I know that can happen.....I've lost my appetite like that before too, or if I'm upset over something... The thing is that it can be a vicious cycle because when you don't eat your stomach shrinks and then you really can't eat. You kind of have to force yourself to eat more than you want to for a while to bring your stomach back to normal.
