• 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.

unfortunately like alcohol,drugs etc.. bulimia can be an addiction. its great that you've realised the hold it has on your life. the thing is, theres only 2 people that can stop this. you can get all the hel and support from whoever you want, but at the end of the day its down to you and God. God can change you, but he needs you to try, he needs you to start the process. only you can make that choice to stop. just take it slowly, one day at a time, little steps at a time, but its you that has to do it, nobody else can for you.
truly truly put your trust in God, TRULY believe that he will end this. and also take a look and see how your relationship with God is. is there any place where you may be accidentally welcoming the enemy? if there is an open door for him, he could be having a real hold of your mind in this. rebuke him immediately and shield yourself with the armour of God
.
just keep trying, everyday, and remember that there really is more to life than how you look. God dosent care if your skinny or not,, he cares about your heart and whether your trying to be the best person you can be. please, please i urge you don't compare yourself to these ridiculous images of stick thin people, its a fake image its not how people should even look, its just the disgusting sexualisation of our culture. there will be people that will tell you that you need to be skinny to be loved, successful etc... but it is absolute lies. its just a fashion. a life-and-death fashion, unfortunately. please realise this.
when you wake up everyday, you have a choice to either look at yourself and say something good or bad. make that choice to say something good. speak positivety into your life, tell yourself you can do it! and don't feel pathetic, lots of epopel have suffered with this, its not your fault, its an illness.
i really hopa nd pray that you can be realised with this, i love you with Godly love and would hate know that one of my siblings is suffering.
all the best x

Hi Echart,

These are my first two Posts since joining Christian Forums yesterday.

Something has drawn me to the Eating Disorder Thread firstly; and that is God would be guiding me here to try and assist others and tell you how God and Our Lady Mary interceded in my close relative's Bulimia disorder that she has had for well over 7 years.

She 'handed over' to Jesus and Our Lady Mary her bulimia while 'trusting' in Jesus to take it away and Bless her with strategies to overcome it, sufficiently to keep her away from Hospital and put on some weight, deal with the body imaging problemos and re-programme her brain, while building up her self esteem sufficiently to love and care more for herself in order to assist others!

Jesus has done this over the past 2 years - praise be to God our Heavenly Father and Brother) and Praise be to Our Heavenly Mother.

Ten Our Fathers and Ten Hail Mary's is a great start...more daily while reading Psalm 23 The Lord is My Shepherd.

Kindest wishes
