• 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 am so mad at myself. After 225 days of not purging... I did. Last night. I'm so upset. I wish I never did it. I felt horrible after. Physically and emotionally. My stomach hurt so bad... and my throat was killing me. I totally regretted doing it. Why did I have to do that? Why? What is wrong with me?

-Jo.

Oh hon, it will be okay, I know it is hard to think so now, but you can do it. Now when you get to 225 days again, you can know what it feels like, so you might make different choices. I'm proud of you for making it 225 days! Its more than I can say for my life! I'll keep you in my prayers.

I totally understand! Kind of feel like you've just given up everything that you've worked so hard for... like a failure? Well darling, you are so NOT a failure! Maybe you can use this oportunity to know that you don't want to do this anymore because of the way it made you feel. Don't let this little detour blow you completely off track! You can do it. You reall y can. Keep up the awesome work. You're in my prayers.

Well done Jo, you've done so well, you definately have not failed, and you should be proud of yourself, at least you know you can go for soo long now, and if you take things a day at a time, and tell yourself that you don't want to do this, and that you don't need to, then maybe you can get even further this time!
God bless, I'll be praying for you!!!
