• 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.

  • 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 know I should be trying to get better. But I don't think I am anorexic anymore. Well, I do, but I don't...it's confusing. My weight says I'm not anorexic.

I don't know. I'm just starting to panic more and more recently. Instead of driving to the train station today, I am going to jog there. It'll take me about an hour, in the heat of the day. I don't know.

Thanks for caring, honestly, it helps me even if it's not that obvious. :sigh:

Your weight is not the only determining factor in the diagnosis of anorexia. There is also your behavior with food, as well as your emotions concerning your weight and your body image.

Please, see a doctor and be totally honest about your eating habits, as well as your exercise habits. You need help and it is available to you. You have to take the first step, or someone will take it for you. I know girls who were committed to the hospital for treatment by their families. They had a feeding tube put in their noses, and were fed through the tube during the night.

Denial of it is a symptom of the disease. You have to get the courage to get help and then do whatever they say. You could die and you are too young for that.

Most of the girls in my treatment group have osteoporosis. The body has to get calcium from somewhere, so it eats the bone marrow and weakens the bones so they are brittle like an old lady's. Starvation also eats at your muscles and that includes your heart. Many anorexics die of heart disease, like Karen Carpenter.

I am being brutally honest about this because it is not something to be taken lightly.

Hugs,
Trish
