• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 don't know where to post because there is no place to go for BDD sufferers. I'm just posting in places that I know have similar struggles and symptoms.

I've gone without cutting my hair for so long and I haven't had to wear a wig. I just did a little cutting today and that is a big warning sign. Little may turn into alot and if that happens, there goes my hair and hello to wigs again. I hate wearing wigs. I hate them.

I need some earth angel support and some kind words to lift me up. If I can get past this stage, I'm on my way to a cmplete recovery. I always get to this stage and end up buzzing my hair. Argh. Prayers are needed and kind words too.

Hey to my Kim,...

Try to stop and think what advice would you give to one of us? You are such such a blessing to me. Now you did some cutting. This only a small stumble. Is there a place that you can go in private? Where know one could hear you? We have to stop and remember that this is SATAN getting us down. And he's usually the strongest right before a big break through. So go som where so you can yell and thow a pillow or something. Yell and stomp at SATAN and tell him that your not going to let him drag you down. Fight him... Don't let him have even a smidge of your freedom or healing... I'm at a womens retreat right now so I will have women pray for my dear friend that is struggleing. You are a fighter and an overcomer. You will prevail and rise above. Your in my prayers and thoughts. I'm sending you cyber hugs..:hug: :hug: :prayer: :prayer: :hug:

Thanks for coming through. You made me laugh. I had though about doing some anger therapy and beating on a pillow and here is your reply telling be punch and stomp. As far as private goes, I'm about as private as anyone get cuz it's just me and my 90 lb pooch. She's my shadow and follows me where ever I go. I got a snow white shadow. She has more hair than I do. I'm jealous.

I've been through this so many times and for nearly a decade. I know the cycle and I know the mind games. The hardest part is this point - the obsessing. Once it gets going it just picks up inertia and rushes in. Argh. I got to let it go. Just let it go. LET IT GO.

I'm going to get a picture of Jesus from the kitchen and put it on the mirror. It's a big. He'll greet me as soon as I look towards the mirror. I haven't done this before. It's one way to get me to my knees in prayer when I'm in that dangerous place called the bathroom.

Plan of action: Punch and stomp on pillows and rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus. Put Jesus where I am unsafe. Then pray.

Thanks Sissy Dasoni. The laugh helped more than you know.

Huggers back to you,
Kim

Sometimes when you see yourself the weakest in when you are the strongest, because in those times God can provide us with strength that we ourselves can't see.

God is with you, He loves you and He's much bigger than our Enemy.

I'm praying for ya:prayer:
Yes, and I will give it all to the Lord. All of it. Surrender, surrender, surrender.

Thanks Earth Angel.
