• 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.

"you can't go on", says you are weary. it also says you have alot fight in you.
i wrote on your other thread this:

denise, take hold of the fact that you are trying. remember at one time these things were a secret. you still have come along ways. don't seach out the negative. search for all of the positive. be happy and content that you are getting some help, and be hopeful that everything works for the good of those who love the Lord. :hug: your soul is secure with God. now you just need to pick up your cross and produce fruit.

you have to go on, your children need you. your family needs you. one thing at a time. you are being seen and searching help. this is right. this is your one thing for now. it is blossoms of fruit to come. hang in there.:hug:

Hey Denise,

Dont worry about triggering me, I dont trigger that easily anymore like I use to. If in the future you do decide to go back IP, then let it be YOUR choice. Not the doctors. Remember, this is all about your choices, other people can force you into things, but YOU have to decide whether or not you want to go through the work of getting better. It might be at first that you are getting better so that your girls have a "mom", but I can guarantee you, that once you start down the road to recovery on your own terms and with you being the one that wants it, it is just a matter of time before you are getting better for you!

Monica

P.S. You are NOT a burden!

Yeah, you have to have time to think things through. What I did and have put on my bulletin by my computer is a list of all the Pro's to hanging on to my eating disorder, and all the Pro's to Recovery. In the end, the recovery seemed like the better choice, so thats what I did. I know that I would be happier, healthier, and that I could live my life to the fullest. My eating disorder was also affecting relationships, so I opted to get better. It really has to be up to you though. People will always be there for you, no mater what! I know it sucks going through it, but think about the awesome testimony you could have to say that you were at the lowest point in your life and through the help of God you were able to get things back together. I'll be continuing to pray for you!
