• 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'm really struggling to keep my eating habits NORMAL... I am eating and constantly taking laxitives because I hate throwing up... this is too hard :(

Oh honey,

To quote my fiance when I was saying the exact same thing

"Its not supposed to be easy, its tough, but its a means to an end, a good end"

It is true though, you just have to perservere. Pray about it, try journaling eveything you eat (that way you'll get annoyed with writing everything down). You can do it, just step away from the kitchen and the laxative bottle and rest in knowing that God loves you.

See the problem isn't with the kitchen, i have food hidden away in my bedroom in the same place as the laxitives... this is so freaking annoying!!!!

Then throw the food away and dump the laxatives down the toilet. Thats what I eventually had to do sometimes to keep myself from binging and purging and taking laxatives. I know that it is not that easy and you are probably thinking "What does she know about this?" but honestly, I've been down the road and am working steadily on recovery from severe bulimia. You can do it.
