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.

unfortunately I'm not doing enough at this time SoulWings...I'm at the stage of realizing that I have a problem but my brain is in a stalemate/zombie stage too. I don't necessarily eat bad food most of the time but I eat the wrong quantities of it. I like to eat until I am satisfied like a "normal" human being, it's just that my level of satisfaction could intimidate a hippo (ok that is exaggerating but I'm trying to prove a point lol). Heck, I even ate like a pig (according to others' standards) as I was losing all those pounds...but I guess I ate less then than I do now, obviously.Ladybugs (please try and refrain from using numbers here, as they can be massive triggers...) That said... I am sorry that you're feeling so rubbishy... it's really hard to look back and realize that you were skinnier a year ago, but weight fluctuation happens to everyone. Even from day to day. I've been told that time and time again by my treatment team and family... weight fluctuation is normal. Have you taken any health measures to work on the weight? like healthy eating and exercising? no restricting or overexercising, as that will put weight on faster and it will be fat weight not muscle weight. Maybe see a nutritionist if you haven't already done so, to get some help about the weight loss-gain? I know you posted another thread and I will have a look at that in a moment.
Katey, yeh it is tough... I'm sorry you've been feeling that way too.I've talked with Jarrod about it and my team knows that I've been thinking suicidal thoughts off and on nearly everyday, but they don't know yet that it's worse. I don't trust myself around anything anymore, pills, knives, anything. I burnt myself yesterday and... well, I feel rubbish, bc I'm getting worse again. And there is absolutely no reason for it! Nothing is going wrong in my life right now. Nothing. ARGH it is so infuriating!
How is everyone else doing? sorry for my outburst, just feeling quite overwhelmed right now.
s to all. xx
