• 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.

awwww hun... *HUGE HUGE HUGS* I understand that youa re upset about not getting into the course, but just keep reminding yourself that it because they care, and are worried... they just dont want you to jump into something that you may not be able to cope with or that might be abit too much.And take comfort in the fact that he said that your grades were good and that you would have got in on that. Because that is an achievement (that you had good enough grades), not all ppl have good enough grades.

Just keep your head up high. You can get through this. I'm here for you if you need to talk.
take care
*HUGS*

Hi everyone,

Everything is just bad atm ... i had a shocking bible study session and am still all fragile from it. Uni course applications need to be in this month and i have my course graduation next month, neither of which I'm prepared for. I got a wrong number on my phone and it was one of my ex's mates and that scared me silly.

I haven't eaten very much at all this week and its scaring me. I see my T tomorrow and i just want to cry.

:cry:

- Shaz

Katey - we all need something to help bring us out of this and maybe for you it'll be the goal of wanting to get into that course. Try and focus on that goal if it's really something you want that badly and hopefully it can keep you driven enough to be heathier. Prayers for you!!


Hang in there Shaz! It can be so overwhelming when it all hits at once, can't it? Try and just prioritize and focus on each one at a time so you don't get yourself too stressed out. Praying for you, too!

Praying for all of you. God bless you all!!!!! much love to you!!!! Keep strong!!!!! Dont give up on recovery.....we all deserve it!!!!
We need to nourish our bodies for Christ so we can be a light and spread his word. We need to give up our fears of weight gain...and fear the Lord instead. I feel like a hypocrite when I say all this...buts its true....

Hi. I don't know if any of you remember me b/c it's been awhile since I have been on here. I guess I just need support. I am a college student who has recently taken a postion as RA on a floor in a dorm. I love my postion, but it is stressful. Also, I have to deal with crazy family issues and all of it has just been too much lately. Anyways, I had pretty much stopped my bulemic behavior over the summer, but it seems as though throwing up is the only way I can find control so I began doing this again. I know the solution would be to talk to a professional, but I can't. I am so frustrated though. I just need a hug, but I am supposed to be strong for everyone else. I can't talk to anyone about this in person...i just can't.

Hun, you only feel out of control because you allow it. Dont let bulimia overtake you. You do not control it, it will start controlling you. God controls us, remember he is always with us in times of stress and frustration. Count on him, not on bulimia. Plus our bodies are not our own, we shouldnt treat them with disrespect...we should treat them with love and care because God gave these bodies to us for a short while so we could further his kingdom...our bodies are a test to see if we will take care of them and obey Gods word....dont fall into Satans traps. Bulimia/Anorexia kills. Its not okay, its dangerous. I am here for you and praying. Just look to God.....not bulimia. Much love!!! PM me if you like.
