Hi everyone... I'm a bit embarrassed and nervous right now, as I sit here and write this... My name is Stacy, I'm almost 19 years old and I've been struggling with bulimia since I was 11 years old... Not only do I have Bulimia I also have Bipolar disorder and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.. Which for me makes it three times as hard because as I go down on a low I restrict and as I go on a high I binge... Plus with having pcos and insulin resistance, that conflicts with the whole weight loss weight gain process.. I used to be a size 8, then in the space of 6 months I gained 65 kilos and topped at the 100kg mark due to my pcos and the fact that my body was overproducing glucose but my bodys natural insulin wasn't working therefore making me gain so much weight.. My worst nightmare had come true... I was now a fat ugly obese heffer... At the beginning of the year my boyfriend of 3 years, after having a discussion about getting engaged said to me " sorry but i don't want my family and friends to think I got stuck with the fat chick, I'm sorry but we're over!" After that at a size 24 I joined weight watchers and lost 12 kgs, I then had a family member pass away and the stress and upset of that made me gain 15 kgs back.. I have been putting off going back to weight watchers and this morning I got on the scale and I am now 107 kgs.. Tonight i decided that i would go for a walk for as long as i could, and i made 1 hour and 15 minutes, Tomorrow I am going to a meeting, and I am determined to break this cycle... No longer will I make the choice to stay this way, I am going to do it.. Please if its not too much to ask, pray for me, please pray that I have the strength to stick with this, and to finally get somewhere, a place where I can feel good about myself and be the best person I can be, I'm going to try so hard that its going to hurt.. But im going to love it! You'll be hearing more soon.. - Stacy

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.
Struggling really bad right now...

You're preachin' to the choir, girl! God bless you for having the courage to share your story. 
I'm going through a similiar situation without so many health complications as you, but the feelings are very much the same. God is helping work through my situation moment to moment, day by day. You are not alone. I don't come online often, but will keep you in prayer. Know you can make many friends who are understanding in your journey. Be blessed.
