• 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.

*snuggles GG* I'm sorry that things aren't going great right now :-( I wish that I/we could help more, but we'll be praying and sending snuggles your way!

Bec, that's fantastic! That's a ton of sleep, but I envy you for it Sleep is amazing, and I want more of it than I can have. Hehe. Are you feeling more refreshed now??

Ari, Daysoni, how're you doing? *snuggles* and everyone else??

That's fantabulous, Dani. I hope that you enjoy yourself in all of your busyness!! ((Wow, it seems like you and Allie are just running all over the place this summer!))

How is everyone doing tonight??

I'm .... okay. Frustrated. But I'm handling it okay.
My nutritionist thinks that if my meds worked like they should, I'd be losing weight better. Weird.
I weigh barely less than I did last summer.
((And I'm supposed to be HAPPY about this?!))

Argh.

Arianna- go read my last post...thats my life.
April-thanks for the encouragement *snuggles*

Kyle and Missy went to see the high tech doc today and he said that there's no way the baby can live. I know God can work a miracle, its if He will that I'm having some problems with.

I love you all!!! *snuggles*

GG, I can't explain why God does or doesn't do something... His will is incomprehensible to us. Things happen, good or bad. And they happen for a reason. Just like me, or you, or any of us, having an ED or having trouble with SI or being depressed or suicidal or all of the above. There is a reason for all of that, and it is not punishment. God doesn't cause pain to His children. He allows it to happen... Satan is the master of pain and suffering and hurt... and it is allowed for a reason. I don't know why, like I said. But don't let your faith in God be shaken with whatever happens to Kyle & Missy's baby. I know how freaking hard it is for you right now. Just hang in there, trust in God that things will work out for the best - and remember that the best He has in mind is not necessarily the best that you have in mind. [/preaching ]

Bruce told me yesterday what's happened with my weight from last July til now......... I peaked at a really high weight, barely less than what my dad weighs, and I'm a good five inches shorter than he is. And I was about the same amount less than I am now. And I gained it all back with the caffeine stuff and the flubbage during the trip, and now I'm on my way back down again. So... yeah, Bec, I did gain a lot of weight. But oh well. Life goes on, I s'pose, hmm?

How is everyone doing today? *snuggles*

Okay, for a moment here, I am going to pretend to be a mod. Soooo........ *puts fake mod hat on* ((Since I'm the creator of this thread, I can do this ))

Please try and have some substance to your posts, okay, everyone? Yes, fun and silliness is okay once in awhile, but I don't want this deteriorating into a "let's post in here just to keep my post count up" thread. Cos you know what? Those suck.

Okay. *fake mod hat off*

You're welcome, GG. I'm glad that it helped and that it didn't sound like a lecture! I hate it when that happens... but how are you doing today?? and how're Kyle & Missy doing?

*snuggles Bec* You're right..... but I hate how freaking slow it is!! Hehe. Guess God's teaching me patience - I've figured on that all along, never really realised how impatient I can be! And how're you doing today??

And of course, how is everyone else doing? *snuggles*

I appreciate you stepping up on this April. I've stepped away from this area of the forum lately because I felt it was getting a little silly and I was feeling my age which definitely is not how I wanted to feel coming here to help and be helped with something this profound. Silliness has its time and place and it was getting a little out of hand. Thanks for helping to get it back on track!

You're welcome, Kerin. It was bothering me quite a bit as well. I'm glad that you're back, though (and by the way, *crash tackle hugs!*). I've missed you, and have also missed having someone older around (not that you're old, mind you, but I dislike knowing that I'm the oldest... makes this forum seem a little too young). How are you doing??

Hey! I think that's a wonderful idea. I too have been staying away for that reason - among others. I look forward to more stimulating interchange in the future!Thanks April and Kerin.

I guess now I'm second oldest (early thirties - I forgot we can't have numbers on here) so April, really you are third oldest Hope you don't mind. TN

I don't mind at all. As long as we three the none of us feel like we're babysitters, it's all good. I was starting to get that feeling (and even moreso when I put that post up...), and it's not really that pleasant!! ((Not to say that the rest of you are babies.... good gracious, I could easily get myself in trouble here, now couldn't I!! ))

So I'll be looking forward to seeing both of you here more often, I hope! Cos I've definitely been wondering where you two have been hiding, and how you have been doing, &tc., &tc.
