• 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

When I started high school I developed an eatting disorder along with the cutting I had also been in for 6 months. I wouldnt eat brakefast, lunch or dinner. The only time I ate was just after I came home from school. I always thought if I eat people will judge me & I'm so fat, I dont deserve to eat. I lost so much weight that year. After that year I was able to controlle it. I stoped it. There was a few weeks where I threw up what I ate but nothing seriose & I gained back all the weight I lost but its the start of year 9. I'm strest about my weight & I know that I wont be able to controlle it the moment I walk into that school. I'll start not eatting again. I already started cutting again after 5months. :sigh:

Sweetie, is there any way that you can get help? Like - are you in counseling? Have the issues behind the cutting and eating disordered behavior been addressed? The anxiety, the depression, the stress management - that type of thing. If you're not in counseling now, I would highly recommend it before things get a lot worse. :hug: It can really help sort out some issues and make life a whole lot easier. Plus, it's nice to have someone in real life to whom you can just talk, and not worry about them judging you.

Weight loss can still be done healthily. Change your diet and exercise habits. If your weight is truly unhealthy, it will decrease with the right food and exercise ratio. If you're not unhealthy, well, you'll just be setting yourself up for a longer, happier, healthier life, if you get good habits ingrained now! :)

Know that we're here anytime that you need to talk. :hug:

i strongly suggest you talk about it with your parents and a counsellor.

its ok to notice your weight but trust me just coz every single girl in school is worried about being skinny as , the truth is dont . be yourself and have fun being yourself it doesnt matter what people think about your eating, and if u think they are well thats just coz they get sick of there own boring lives so they like to pick on other people. you have only got one life here on earth, so make the most enjoyable you can, u are beautiful no-matter what u look like!!, and if u are still very concerened about them them eat the healthiest foods u know, so that u can u be healthy and have a good reputation ;) X0xox0xo remeber u are b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!! :thumbsup:

Hey girly
Know that you do NOT have to live like this. God wants so much more for you. Have you tried yoga, it really helps with body image and is so spiritual. The book Life without Ed is really great to. The way you said it was 'nothing serious' when you tried purging, worries me. It reminds me of how careless I am sometimes with myself, and how I always told myself I wasn't bad enough, or sick enough to get help. Don't fight this alone! You are in my prayers!
Love Kristen
