• 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 a little bit down right now - I found out yesterday that I am bulemic and will be referred to the Eating Disorder Clinic. I also found out that my so-called best friend made me out to be an absolutely horrible person - she told another friend all these lies about me because this other person didn't know me that well she believed it. i'm really hurt that my best friend would do this - she made me out to be a liar and a really nasty person - 2 things that I am not!!!! I dont know I'm really hurt right now

:hug: Diva, you are in my prayers! All the hope and love in the world for you on your recovery!

As far as your friend goes, I've had that happen to me, and I'm not really sure why people do these things, but we can't help what others do...we can only 'react' to what happens. IMHO, the best way for you to react would be to continue your life in the best way you can...in the end she will be shown for what she really is, and so will you. Ones who lie can't keep it up forever and whatever goes around, comes around. God has a pretty cool way of showing our hearts to people. Getting defensive will only put it into the minds of the ones she told that she was right. Be nice, be sweet (2 things I know you ARE!) and live your life. Don't hand it over to her...keep it close to your heart and be strong. We're here girl! Keep talking! :hug: :kiss:

Isn't it funny that God knew to tell us, 2000 years and more ago that we would face adversity in our faith, and as believers. How many times have we believed that if we're sad or things are going wrong that God isn't blessing us. But, what if He's blessing you right now through the awful things that are going on. Praise God that you were diagnosed and are going to be able to get treatment! Praise God that He is showing you who your friends really are. This is going to be a lonely time for you, and the best thing you can do, as I have done in my recent lonely time, is to not mope. Realize that moping is not hope, and that God is our hope so we have no reason to mope. I'm really not TRYING to rhyme. You are precious, hon. Don't forget that,
Tracy
