• 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

Hi I'm new to CF, and to the eating disorder forum. I have struglled with bulimia off and on since the eight grade, and am a 22 year old college student now. I am healthy for the most part, but still catch myself doing a lot of ngeative thinking about binging and purging, and have the ocasional relapse.

My experience is dificult for me because if you havn't noticed my icon already, I am male, and society at large isn't very informed about eating disorders, and most consider them a woman's problem. As a result of this I have almost no real world support.

I hope all you guys here are doing alright, and are working towards a healthy lifestyle. Good luck, hugs and prayers.

welcome to the site:) i hope you feel welcome here, male ED's are more common than most people think but because ED's are seen by most of society as a female problem some men are afraid to get help.

If you ever need anything let me know

Love n Hugs:hug:

Lizzie
