• 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

Hi...I just registered with this website and have been reading some of the posts. I would just like to ask for some prayer because I used to have anorexia for about a yr and a half, but now it has turned into bulimia and binge eating. I cannot seem to get over this no matter how hard i try! I feel ashamed to turn to God sometimes because of how many times i promise i will do better and then i fail. I can't talk to anyone about it...my family knew about my anorexia, but they don't know about the bingeing and purging that has taken up the past year of my life. I don't know what to do....thanks for listening....

Oh sweetie! I know that it is hard getting over this, I have been there, was anorexic for a while and have been bulimic for the greater portion of my teen years. Have you thought about talking to someone (a counselor, psychiatrist, etc).

Was your family supportive of getting over the anorexia? Maybe what you need is your family's support as well as professional support.

I'll be praying for you,
Mon
