• 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 remember when I came across something that said "feeling" fat wasn't real. That you can't "feel" fat..... only full.

I don't like to get overly full..... I think that's where those feelings come from. Try to eat whatever you want and try to stop just short of full. Then, those horrible feelings won't bombard you.

Oh and the lax's......... ugh, I've been there........ They are only a temporary fix to a problem that needs dealt with. Again it come back to being overly full.

Try not to allow yourself to each too much and I promise those feelings of "being fat" and needing lax's won't arise so often. It's hard. I'm not saying at ALL that it's easy! But, with the help of all the ladies on here, lots of prayer and determination on your part it can be done! God bless.

I understand what you are saying however sometimes the want to throw up or take laxitives comes even when I've hardly eaten so sometimes to stop wanting to throw up I don't eat!! It's a vicious circle however I actually talked to a person face to face about it today - actually 2 people - i admitted that i have a problem but can't quite admit that it's a disorder.... i'm not sure :help: I have an appointment with my psychiatrist in a week so we'll see how that goes!!!

I'm proud of you for taking the first steps to recovery....I'm sure it was hard for you to tell someone(s). Good luck at the Psychiatrist!
