• 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.

It makes sense Soulwings. Its just I have this huge fear that I will be thrown in hell because of it. It could be another lie. I guess the diesease just feels you with so much guilt as to how your treating your body especially if you are a christian. I dont lust really after anybody elses body I just want to be super thin and be able to FEEL that thinness..instead of fat. I know I can look in the mirror at times and see how thin I am...but then again on the inside at the same time I feel like I weigh so much. I just feel big on the inside. My eating disorder isnt about acheiving a certain persons body type...its how I feel about myself and how I want to change myself to make myself feel better. It feels better when Im empty and thin. But I dont know...sometimes I do believe everytime we starve ourselves we are sinning..we KNOW it hurts God and the temple he has given us....but I just cant stop.

Tomorrow will be three hundred days (er.. i think.. if I can count properly) for me without cutting.
I still have blades I can't seem to get rid of though (and have done some other things that probably count as SI ) and i'm starting uni again soon and don't know how I will cope with stress without cutting.

..but anyway.. how is everyone else?

Please pray for me that I will continue to do well with my eating habits now that I am not under the supervision of my parents and am off on my own at college in the dorms. I have been doing so well for over the past year and though it is tough sometimes I really want to continue and not to get back to my old ways.

That's fantastic Ari!! You should be so proud of yourself!!


Praying for you, too Ditzypoo. I think it's so important that you acknowledge that you're going into a risky situation to help prepare yourself. Post here as often as you like if it helps you!


**As for me..why oh why do I watch America's Next Top Model?? I really love it, but it's SO triggering...I just can't keep away though...**

- maybe I shouldn't have brought it up. You need the energy Bec! You can't run on no food and barely any sleep you're going to get sick, hon. Please be careful.


Praying for you Katey! You can do it! It is hard, but it can be done!
