• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

There are a lot of things that you can control - to a point - that don't involve causing yourself pain and/or health problems. The only (pretty big) issue with that, is the amount of time and effort it takes to learn to control that other stuff. Know what I mean?

I think finding a christian counsellor is a sensible first step. Look for someone who you feel comfortable with, and who will help you work out how to control more of your life in healthy ways. Make sense? PM me if you want.

even though i have had your support, my eating habits continue to worsen....now i barely eat, and when i do, i count calories. i don't eat over a certain number of calories, and that number goes down every week.

i can try...but no promises...i am not one to ask for help. Which is why i have so many other problems

Ahh but you have asked for help, right now, in here. Even if you know that we are 'anonymous' a part of you still wanted you to make these posts to ask for help and support.

That's one thing even I can't do right now. :hug:

People are accusing me of having an ed because i never eat...and when my stomach growls, i don't eat, i just enjoy the feeling.

I have no control over anything in my life, so i try to control my food...but am i really that bad?
nessa :hug: the thing is the control lies in the not eating,it's your own silent control and that's how this starts for some people. please don't enjoy the fact that your body is fueling itself off of healthy tissue including our hearts after we begin this lack of food. I can't say enough about the joy feeling that comes with not eating. That's the ugly part.
