• 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.

Most people want to be skinnier. Maybe you should see a doctor about that throat. Meanwhile, find some healthy food you like and eat as much as you can.

Definitely see a doctor that tells you something and answers your problem. Until then try smoothies and shakes. Losing and gaining weight is a hormone response. So look into balancing those in your body so that you can get back to a balanced weight.

That's what I was thinking.
I hope not though because it's one of the more difficult things to treat and creates a lot of random symptoms that doctors will just give you the run around. My wife has it.

Requires a lot of work and attention and care.

I seem to recall your last thread, and there is only one place food can go....to the stomach, if it went into your lungs it would kill you, and clearly that hasn't happened.

Rejoice, and pig out. :) there are many who would love to need to gain weight...I'm thinking a banana split for breakfast for you.
