Okay i thought i had my anorexia under control and i was steadily gaining weight again up to a healthy range. I was raped a year ago on april 14th 2006 and i think that the memories are triggering my anorexia. Ive practically stopped eating in the last 12 days ive dropped in weight again. I dont know what to do, no one else knows about it and i literally cannot eat. I dont feel like i can pray and im going through it by myself and am really struggling. I was wondering if anybody out there would pray for me because i dont feel like i can do it myself. Thankyou. Hope your all doing better than me.

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.

A true original.
Eddy, is there any way that you can talk to someone about this? Are you in counseling at all? (And if not, I would highly suggest this. Churches often offer free counseling, either with a registered counselor or a pastor, or if you're in uni, there should be counselors on campus that offer free counseling as well.)
I don't know what to say except to tell you to try and seek professional help. Anorexia is not something that should be kept in the closet - especially since you know that you have it for sure. Losing weight isn't worth it, and although there are times in recovery when you just don't care, you've got to make yourself keep going towards your ultimate goal.
God is there with you, by the way. You may not feel Him, you may not think that you can pray, but He's there. He's with all His children, and He cares about you and loves you to pieces. Just try praying. I don't care if the prayers feel like they are "bouncing off the ceiling." He hears them. Keep listening for His voice. And ... I will be praying that He wraps His arms around you, gives you comfort and peace, lets you know that He is near you always, and helps you regain your footing on the path of recovery.
If you need to talk, I'm here, okay? Always and anytime.

I echo what April has said. Have you talked to someone about what happened? It's going to be painful to remember things but it's vital if you are to recover. The eating disorder (anorexia) is simply a symptom of the deeper problem - the feelings and emotions that came about as a result of the rape. You cannot fix the eating without figuring out what causes it and how to fix that. And for that, you need to talk to a counsellor or a therapist who can help you work through your feelings and move on with your life.
Can you talk to your parents/mother/trusted relative, or a doctor or a teacher if you are still at school? It's scary making the first steps, but as soon as you do, things will get better progressively as you find the overwhelming support, love and advice that you need. I'm so sorry you went through that, and I hate to read that another one of God's beautiful princesses is being ensnared by this awful illness.
