• 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 don't know if they are old habits..but they aren't new...

again, i am being accused ot being anorexic! this time..i actually lost 20 lbs first

but i have gone back to barely eating...and what i do eat...i regret later. i still enjoy my growling stomach, and i am used to the weak feeling.

i don't know if i am scared of myself...or scared of what will happen if i go to a doc....

If you are having these symptoms again, it's very serious that you listen to them and realise it's not right or healthy, which you have done by posting here. As you sound like you have been through this before, you know how much it hurts, so please get some help now while you can. It's very important that you don't ignore these symptoms from your body, especially when you have been through this before.

:hug:

when i lived in Germany (1996 - 2000...i was ages 9-13) i stopped eating for a little while because i constantly felt sick. Now..it is just because i wanna lose weight. People always tell me that it is easier to find a boyfriend when you feel good about yourself..well, i have never felt good about myself. I hate the way i look. And i know that when i lose enough weight, i will finally be happy with myself. But i can't go exercise like everyone else...i have a bad knee that acts up easily. so i don't eat.

I use to LOVE dancing, and I still do, but I can't do it that much now because I'm ill and will eventually just collaspe!

But the small amount I do helps keep me in shape. So, is there anything you enjoy doing? dancing,running or what ever? maybe do a small amout and see if that helps, it wont effect u staright away, but it will start to help!

People tell my that I'm beautiful n wat eva and to believe it and when i believe in myself a lad will come blah blah, but its so hard when I get mroe comments tellin me im not pretty n w/e. so its hard to believe that.
but in a song, it says "I am special, I am beautiful, I am wonderful, Powerful, Unstopable" and when things are gettin to me i try and say that to my self and try and believe it, it helps me sometimes.
but try and tell urself things liek that to help you!!

one thing...tell ur self you can over come all this!!
