• 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

I've been labeled anorexic before by my uncle and that was because I didn't eat for a week on a protest because he wouldn't let me go to church. But now I really am struggling with my body image. I know concsiously that I'm not overweight but I really feel like I am. I still eat but not as much as I used to. I don't know if this is an ED or not. Maybe it's the beginning of one. Does anyone know if this is how one starts?

Unless you are frequently skipping meals, or what we call purging (making yourself puke after you eat) you do not have and ED. However, this IS how it starts... Believe me, you DON'T want to go down that road. Not eating for a week on a protest is one thing (though it isn't healthy, by far!!!) but not eating because you think you're over weight, and you don't like your body, is another thing entirely.

please try your hardest not to go down that road, once you are on it, it is sooo hard to go back, there isn't a way to do so, you have to follow it through, with the help and support you need to change it and get rif of it! please try to eat properly and look after your body well, it isn't doing you any good either way, ED or not!
PM me anytime you wanna chat or if you have nay questions about anorexia or bulimia! I'll do my best to answer, I am someone who has struggled with anorexia and still do sometimes, and have purged before because of image and control problems!
God bless
