i can't stop this never ending curse. i have anorexia and bulimia. i am 16 and have been to 5 ed clinics (rtc's) in about a yr. the thoughts keep coming back into my head. my entire world revolves around my weight. if it's not one thing it's another. ed or s/h both go hand in hand with my thoughts. i don't know what's going to happen. i have health problems, possible liver damage (still awaiting reply), and am in a down ward slope and cant find my way back up. why can't i just be healthy and look the way i want to. if i gain a lbs, i freak out. i don;t know what to do! i don't have enough insurance to cover another psychologist... i just want to be healthy... is that too much to ask?

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.

Have a look at your past behaviour with food when bulimic.. what foods trigger you? There is some research going on about sugar and fats addictions in society ( a secret addiction). maybe you could avoid the trigger foods if they aren't a nessesity to maintain health. and keep in mind that weight naturally goes up and fluxes a few pounds when we eat: try not to let a few healthy pounds panic you.
Try to get into the habit of eating at mealtimes, being mindful of healthy portions.. have some planned snack foods for when you just must eat.. like a piece of fruit and a large glass of water, or a small lebonese cumcumber with a glass of water. (a nutrisionist would have great ideas).
I am becoming interested in natural health as I get older, with an emphasis on the healing properties of certain foods.

how about focusing on one goal at a time? for instance;
focus on a time table to eat breakfast. like for me it's by 11:00 am. - i keep fruits, yougart, twelve grain bread, hot cereal and juice. i pick two things, and force myself to eat. as soon as i'm done, i have an activity to do (walking, shopping, therephy, school, whatever works)... to help me with the first 15 mins of panic that i ate. then the next 15 mins. so on. before i know it, my brain isn't panicking but feel nurished. also, because i feel so good; i avoid binge behavior and purge sensations.
one thing that really helps alot of people is ED group therephy. it's free or donations excepted. it's good to have somewhere to go; or someone to phone, that understands; that you can't keep secrets from (they know all the tricks) and a plan that helps support you where ever you are.
