• 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 am soooo frustrated. I can't do this anymore, but I can't get help.Idon'tknow what to do though. No one knows about my being bulimic and I can't tell them either. Grrr. :cry: I know that I need to tell them, but I just can't. I am soo sorry I know this is not going to be of encouragement to anymore, but I really just needed to let others know what was going on even if you don't know me.

(((freedom)))

Am I allowed to ask why you can't tell them?
I don't feel as though I can tell anyone because it will ruin my mom's image of a "perfect" child. Also, it is semi-easy to admit that I have a problem to people I don't know but not so easy to admit it to an actual person. I know none of this makes sense...maybe it does...I don't know. I want help, but I don't know if I am ready. I just keep doing what I am doing in hopes that one day I will get the strength to do something. I feel sooooo trapped in this situation and no on seems to understand.

None of us are perfect Freedomsong and we all have struggles, every one of us. I'm sure your health and well being is more important to your mom than any image you think she might have about you. I think you should talk with someone, it sounds like you're really wanting help. Prayers for you! :prayer:
