• 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

Hi everyone,
I have been in treatment for my binge eating disorder for two months and was told I would be discharged next week. It is outpatient at night. I only went one night this week, and I have been eating cookies like crazy the past few days.

I feel like such a failure, and I am so afraid that I will go completely out of control.

Help.
Trish :sigh:

:wave: :hug: for any ED recovery:

* we have to except that there will be tough days of temptation and have a list of coping skills and ideas ready. (writing it down and keeping it handy allows us to be reminded of what to do during the crazy compulsions and overwelming feelings).

* when we slip up... as with any slip up. confess verbally to Jesus. :hug:
FORGIVE yourself, get back on track through the things you require... and be proud of yourself for the growth and accomplishments you did succeed at, even if it's one meal at a time :clap: . it's all good... practice, practice, practice.


Trish :hug: i have seen some lovely posts by you. how would you talk to one of your friends if it was them? apply your own advice to yourself. talk to yourself the way you would to others. you can do it. you can overcome it.

:hug: Ohh..hang in there:hug:

I know that you can make it through without losing control if you put your mind to it. Everyone slips, so don't let yourself feel like a failure. Have you expressed your concerns to your outpatient doctor? I will definately be praying for you...please, if you need anything dont hesitate to PM.
