• 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

Girl, you've gotta keep fighting here. Sounds like you're not at the best state of health, and what you're doing to your body can kill you.

Maybe you should go somewhere and stay for a while, at least during the holidays. The Holidays can turn even healthy women into extreme dieters. There have got to be people in your life who love you enough to want to see you getting better. Do it for them. They love you, and they want the best of you, the non-foggy, healthy, happy you. Get better for your kids.

Denice,
Try to eat healthy and not use your eating disorder for a day, and when the hurt comes, pray. Cry out to God to show you what it is that is hurting you. He will reveal it. Maybe not right away, but soon. Keep seeing the therapists and people who are helping you. But, just try to avoid your eating disordered behaviors and work through the hurt. Pray. Read the Psalms of David, who cried out to God at times. Beg God to show you what it is that is hurting you so much. He can't reveal it to you when you use your eating disorder because you are numbing yourself with the behaviors of the eating disorder. I am sharing this because I have learned some stuff in my treatment since I stopped bingeing.

I love you and want you alive to see your kids grow up healthy.

Hugs,
Trish
