• 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.

Hi. Most of you would not remember me, because I have not been on here very much in the last couple of years. Though I found it helpful to connect with others that are bulimic, I also struggled because I found many posts were triggers for me.


I have been trying with the help of a friend to be healthy and not resort back to bulimic tendencies when I am stressed, but it has been a difficult time for me lately. I graduated from college last year and started my career. Then, this past February my grandpa died from cancer. I was his power of attorney and I am my grandma's power of attorney. My grandma is dealing with a lot and her frustrations are all targeted at me since I am the one making the decisions. I fight with my boyfriend all of the time because of the stress and I am not sure what to do. I feel as though life is weighing me down. I am trying so hard not to binge and purge, but it is so hard.


I can't really talk about these issues with anyone in my life because everyone thinks that I have it all together and would shocked to find out otherwise. I am confused and stressed to the max....

Life is hard isn't it. I am in the same position as you but in different ways. It's so stressful to be in your situation. I applaud you if you have been able to resist the urge to B/P... Somthing I have not yet perfected. I think in times like this you just have to rely on faith and god. I know in hard times when I feel like I just can't go on I just have to keep telling myself. God is with me, he will help me get through this. There are brighter days ahead you just have to get past the dark rainy ones. I have recently been Jogging, Walking, or just driving to relieve some stress in my life. When I do that I leave everything at home except my music and I just go. No it doesn't cure it but it makes things more managable. I know you don't know me but talking helps as well. If you need anything send me a message. Good luck, keep your head up, and stay strong :)

Being depressed is not the way to face and fight against the problems. You should be confident for your self and always think positive to make sure that you are perfect for your life. For that first of all you have to understand your self and than after concentrate on development of your personality. Plan your physical health and for that decide some good diet plans and some exercises. Try to meet others and also move out for some days to relax your self. Do faith in God and always be touch with your self. If you are depressed because of your lower weight than it is not a big issue,you can come out from some diet plans and little work out.
