I've been struggeling with an ED for 21 years.I'm trying so hard to change my ways.My counsler thinks that I've had it for so long that I won't be able to change.It's really hard for me I eat very little,she wanted me to eat more which I did try,I put on weight and fliped out.I'm not to skinny I'm about 50 pounds overweight.I can't stand the way my body feels psychically,it makes me sick and I can't stand how I look.I hate looking at myself.I'm trying to stop abbusing laxatives and diuretics.I've damaged my body in so many ways.The newest thing now is from the diuretic abbuse my heart beats 122 at rest.I've lost most of my teeth,hair started falling out,vitamin B and folic acid deficiant.almost anemic with getting V-B12 shots monthly.If there is anyone who just started having problems with an ED please get help early don't wait!!I always thought it won't happen to me,and even tho I know how bad my health is I can't seem to stop what I'm doing.I pray someday I will be happy with my body and see my self as Christ sees me.

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.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

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.

I, too, am suffering physically because of my past ED behavior. You are so right we must get help for these things. I don't agree with your counselor- I think you can change. I know you can. Most importantly, God knows you can. There is always hope and He knows your struggle and longs to comfort you. I can tell you are beautiful. I don't need to see a picture. You have a beautiful heart. God knows this and knows that you are truly beautiful. You are in my prayers

don't let a doctor sentance you to pain. your Father promises that no temptation....
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
i too, know that the consequences of ED are serious and permanate sometimes. but you don't need to think you are sentanced. healing spiritually conquers everything. 
seek and ye shall find. ask, and it shall be given....
He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5
I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. Philippians 3:13
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Acts 2:21

It is never too late to recover!
I strongly suggest you look at visiting a different counsellor - in my opinion, anybody who tells you that you can't get better is not a help at all - in fact, that's the opposite of what you need right now!
We are here to listen to you, help you and try to keep you on track. It is never too late. I am praying for you.
