• 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 there,
I haven't posted in a while because I have been in relapse. I am a binge eater, and the binges have been pretty bad, and I have become sick as a result. I have even purged, just once, but the temptation is there to do more. My weight has gone up and my self-esteem has plummetted to a new low.

I feel like a failure as a human being is concerned. :sigh:

Thanks for listening.

Hi Trish:

I wish I could give you a hug. I keep a prayer list. Tonight when I am at work sitting in a control room for 10-hours, I will go to our Heavenily Father in heart-felt prayer for you. Ususally when I am done praying, I am exhausted because I put every part of me into prayer.

Hang on and don't give up. Please keep fighting. You have been there for me in my relapse. Surrender your heartache to the Lord. Let Him take control. You are not a failur as a human being. I already know you have a heart of gold and you are extremely intelligent. If you remember, I relapsed not long ago. I am almost bald now. Your response to my cry made me re-evaluate everything. "Contemplative" is the word you used. Your words brought guidance that I needed. Your words gave me better understanding. Your words gave me hope. Your words put me back on the path of healing. Oh Trish. You are an Old Soul and definitely far from being a failure as a human being. On the contrary, you are incredibly gifted with intellect and compassion. You have inner beauty which the world needs more of these days. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for the light.
Kim
